Goodbye, and close the door on the way out please.

"How can i leave after this?" That was
supposedly what the fans wanted to hear after that absolutely magical night in Instabul. I, actually, was more looking forward to the headlines on soccernet saying "Gerrard signs contract extension".


Good bye stevie G. Thanks for the memories and all the best, but please close the door on your way OUT! This is such a major kick in the balls for us supporters, it's not funny. After ANOTHER year of constant "will he or wont he go" saga, this is where it has boiled down to. What else is the club to do? Offer you fecking 100 thousand quid a week to captain the team you supposedly supported ever since you were a small lil kiddo. Bring in one genius of a manager. Friggin WIN the bloody European Cup. And then publicly state (although we don't really know what is happening in the background, so we have to just take it at face value) that the manager and management want you to stay on until you retire? I am thinking that either he was always going to move away anyway (he was the one who stalled on contract talks to the end of the year), OR it is something that is being engineered by his agents, SFX. Imagine what sort of comission THEY would get for a 40 million quid move to Real Madrid!

At the end of the day, he can just go if he wants to. Imagine your club captain saying that he would only start considering the contract at the end of the year, IF there's improvement! In my opinion, he has just grown too big for his own shoes, and now has a major ego-induced chip on his shoulder thinking he is larger than the club.

So, Stevie G. If you don't think 100k quid a week, captaining the Champions of Europe (that you help become) who are also the team your were supporting since you were a kid (supposedly) is good enough for you, then by all means, FUCK OFF. I've had enough of this shit. Just go off soon so that we can start spending the 30-40 million quid we *should* be getting. Liverpool Football Club is bigger than one player and we would definitely get over *another* player leaving.

Am looking forward to a year of not worring about another player who will or will not go. At least until after ANOTHER fantastic season and a World Cup campaign, and Real Madrid will be sniffing around our next captain, step forward, Jamie Carragher.
