Cole, who spent 10 years in the England squad with Gerrard and played alongside him at Liverpool believes he will be at Ibrox for a long time to come.I dont think Steven will be in any rush to leave. Its a great job,” Cole said to The Scottish Sun.Id imagine its a great place to manage too. I reckon hes there for the long haul. He probably wants to be the man to turn it round up there.“I knew he’d be good at it. A lot of people were worried when he took the job. “It’s such a massive job for your first one but I had no doubt in him. I think he’s a natural born leader.“Playing and captaining Liverpool is as good an apprenticeship as you can have. When you become a manager all eyes are on you.Now 37, Cole, who won three Premier League titles with Chelsea, also played for West Ham, Lille, Aston Villa, Coventry and Tampa Bay Rowdies but admitted he wished he could have followed in the footsteps of a player he followed closely growing up,Paul Gascoigne.2
