He may have been a decent person, but he wasn’t a quality manager. He inherited a team that Mourinho had built into a hugely successful team that had leaders all over the pitch. Mourinho may have been there a few months too long but the core of both the on field and off field team he left was incredibly strong. You can’t compare Grant’s time in charge of Chelsea with Fergie, Pep or Klopp’s first seasons in charge as they were either having to build a club virtually from the bottom up or were implementing a completely different style of play

Gerrard was at his best when he could rampage all over the pitch without having to worry about tactical discipline. In theory he could play pretty much anywhere but in reality defensive roles didn’t play to his strengths
