    I wanted one anyway but I'm hoping that means more people go for the physical option.

    The state of the finances is horrific as their revenue is lower than their everyday outgoings and they are hugely in debt though quite a bit is owed to Moshiri

    For the record Gerrard carried Liverpool for years.

    One of the greats of his era despite what rivals may say.

    Agree he was selfish
    Agree he was invested in his own personal glory

    disagree it was to the detriment of the club
    In fact I would argue it drove him to do some of the amazing things he did

    just my opinion

    Wasn't he about to sign for Chelsea but did a u turn because of the threats against him and his family by the local mob, if he did. Rumours were he was paying Mr big protection money too

    I don't think he had any intention of leaving, it was just an ego trip.

    Not so sure, he did write in his book about the threats
    He definitely had dealings with the local mafia, on his nights out, usually in Southport, he had a couple of paid minders who were associated with the local mob.
    His daughter too was seeing one of the big boys sons

    Or he just changed his mind after speaking to family. One is a reasonable answer and the other is straight out of the anti lizard book of conspiracy theories. You decide.

    It was pretty much common knowledge around Liverpool at the time.

    Nah mate, I'm sticking to my story, it was well known at the time, the family involved were and are a big noise in Liverpool.

    ... think my jest may have gone above your bonce mate ... I was chuckling because they don't actually write anything themselves .... editorial personnel would have been saying stuff like '... perhaps it would be better to say it like this ...' <laugh>
