Henry Winter has claimed that Steven Gerrard’s decision to turn down a return to Rangers had nothing to do with money.
Gerrard, who held advanced talks with the Ibrox board over a sensational comeback, ultimately decided against taking the job — a move that surprised many fans and pundits. However, according to Winter, the former Rangers boss remains guided by principles rather than financial incentives.
Speaking on the matter, Winter said Gerrard’s focus is on “the right project and the right conditions,” insisting that he “isn’t driven by money” and continues to prioritize long-term vision and footballing structure over personal gain.
Gerrard enjoyed a highly successful spell in charge at Rangers between 2018 and 2021, famously leading the club to their 55th league title and an unbeaten Premiership season. His potential return had sparked excitement among supporters, but discussions reportedly ended without an agreement being reached.
Winter’s remarks offer fresh perspective on Gerrard’s decision, suggesting that his next managerial move will come only when the right opportunity presents itself — not the richest one.
