Burts91 427 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 3 minutes ago, backup said: Gerrard's U-turn after threats to his family by CHARLES SALE, Daily Mail Last updated at 14:45 29 June 2004 Steven Gerrard's record-breaking transfer to Chelsea has been derailed because of a hate campaign directed at his family by Liverpool fans furious at the prospect of losing their captain and best player. The England midfielder had agreed a £30million-plus move to Stamford Bridge, together with personal terms that would have doubled his £60,000-aweek wages. But the intolerable pressure his family faced on Merseyside, including threatening phone calls and letters, played a pivotal role in Gerrard's U-turn over a move to London. The abuse directed at Gerrard had reached vitriolic levels in local newspapers and on various websites. The concern for the player was that his close relatives, who live in the city, would have to bear the brunt of further venom following his departure from Anfield. quotes from gerrard below “I get quite a lot of stick about not winning the Premier League,” Gerrard told BT Sport. “I look back at the opportunities I had to go to the strongest teams in the league, and I could be sat here now with four or five Premier League medals, or could have gone abroad to the big teams and chased that glory. "But it’s also satisfying that I stayed here and was loyal to the people who were most important to me, I didn’t chase cash, chase the glory. "Of course I am sitting here with that one big regret that I didn’t win the Premier League, but I am proud of my loyalty. "Liverpool means the world."

We can't afford to keep changing it like we have both Pedro and Warburton, complete with the turnover of players which that involves . It's frustrating because there are times we play really well , but the lack of consistency , and getting a run together to build on , is killing us . I get that but what is most disappointing for me is he doesn't seem to be that bothered at times with shit results, he needs to step up and take charge instead of just plodding along and giving us the usual soundbites. 2nd Flute and berkshirebear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogzy 31,195 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't think he would have been under any pressure from the board to win any silverware this season. I highly doubt he will be sacked. He might get an offer and go in the summer though. The board have picked and are backing Gerrard. No way they sack him less than a year into the rebuild and him getting to the group stages. josmc and 2nd Flute 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal was done, he and his family were advised be best to forget about it. He wisely took that advice and put his family first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I am beginning to think that he is too nice to be a successful Rangers manager. I don't want him sacked but he needs to get ruthless with these players I.know it's harping on about the past but do you think the players would put in below par performances like they have done this season if Smith or souness were in charge.

Lot's going to depend on how much investment is made in the summer. If he brings in three or four new quality players and we still fail to win the easy games, then maybe.

Agree good investment is everything we must get rid of the loans as well it's a shambles we have these average loan players keeping our own players from progressing fair enough if the loan was a top quality player.

berkshirebear 2,771 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hes made a lot of mistakes (which is expected of a rookie) but not sure hes learning from them. I was surprised he didnt bring back Hardie and Docherty as I think we needed some more options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishes 2nd with a worse record than Pedro, that's where it's going just now That doesn't mean he's better, means the rest of the league has been worse this season. If the taigs had their form of last year they'd be 15/20 points clear of us. Gerrard doesn't deserve any credit for what he's done domestically & if he was any other manager he'd have been under alot more pressure than he is.

.Williamson. 82,009 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He's actually very very bad atm His ability to make a sub and change a game is basically not there. In reality his ability to do that seems to stretch as far as either a like for like substitution or going from one up top to two.
