The question just a few short months ago, that Steven Gerrard was forced to carry as a pressing burden on his shoulders, centred on his ambitions to return to Liverpool as manager.
Now, after the rather cruel night of the long knives, where he was seemingly informed of his departure as Aston Villa manager while waiting for the coach to return home from Fulham, is focused on his ambitions to be a manager, full stop.
Where does he go from this? How does he rebuild his reputation and career after such a brutal end to his managerial honeymoon period? Who better to answer that question than Frank Lampard, his great midfield rival - and England team-mate - throughout his playing career, and a friend who has suffered such a high profile sacking of his own, at Chelsea.
