Steven Gerrard has admitted that in a 'perfect world' he wouldn't have walked out on Rangers for Aston Villa mid-season.
And the former Ibrox boss insists he totally gets the frustration and anger felt by sections of the Gers support when he quit just a week before last season's League Cup semi final. The former England star led the Light Blues to the 2020-21 Premiership title but less than six months later he quit for Villa.
Gerrard admitted that the timing was far from ideal but the chance to manage in the English Premier League and to be closer to his family was too good an opportunity to turn down. Gerrard, who was sacked by Villa in October, said: “In a perfect world I would never have left that way and I completely understand the frustrations that the club and supporters felt when I left Rangers.
