You know where you stand and I had no doubt where we stood as a pair." After linking up with Eddie Howe, Wilson shared his enthusiasm for the Tyneside club in a new statement. We believe being united as a team will be so important as we continue to move the club forward together." Meanwhile, Gerrard has remained without a club since departing Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ettifaq in January, following an 18-month spell in charge.
