Welcome back Wayne
The man has been getting a new contract every year he's been there. He'll never retire, he loves the money and the adulation too much...........

BREAKING NEWS: 34-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS BETTER AT FOOTBALL WHEN 24-YEAR-OLD MAN
It’s another quiet Friday, so with no news to report, the Fiver has decided to assist a down-on-their-luck professional footballer with their contract negotiations, by publishing a few quotes brazenly designed to chivvy along their contract negotiations. Here’s $tevie Mbe, who today admitted that his time at the heart of Liverpool’s midfield might soon be over. In terms of what the world already knew, news that the leggy legend can no longer seriously cut it at the very top level, his jaw now regularly seen hanging loose as he pants and runs around in circles like a confused dog who has misplaced his squeaky bone, is up there with other breaking stories such as JFK SHOT, MAN LANDS ON MOON and BIG FIRE AT REICHSTAG.
But of course that’s not the point he was making. The point he was making was that he might naff off somewhere else if Liverpool don’t get their act together and fast. Gerrard’s contract runs out in the summer, and presently the club have their feet up on the desk, either as a result of laziness, ineptitude, or dare we suggest it, sheer ambivalence. With time running out, and Gerrard free in January to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club, perhaps in Spain, Italy, the USA or the Faroe Islands, the player has deemed it necessary to rattle a few cages. “I won’t be retiring this summer,” he announced in an interview with one of the Guardian’s rival papers, Rival Paper. “I will play beyond this season. We will have to wait and see if that’s at Liverpool or somewhere else. That’s Liverpool’s decision.”
Those Liverpool fans yet to be totally convinced by Joe Allen’s commanding, domineering, nay Sounessesque presence will be hoping that the club come to their senses and offer their captain the cuddle-in-shape-of-contract-extension he craves. And then, just as wily old Rafael Benítez did when he got Gerrard’s number the best part of a decade ago, play him out on the right or behind the front man where, relieved of tactical responsibility, he can still do some damage without doing any damage. Chances are the fans will get their wish, as despite Gerrard’s waning powers, Liverpool surely can’t afford to lose a second totemic figure in quick succession, and chivvied accordingly, will soon pony up some cash. So as we suggested at the start, this is a bit of a non-story, really. But the only other option was something about Daniel Sturridge remaining knacked for the next couple of weeks, and, well, we may as well have run with breaking events in Dealey Plaza.

And this thick RS wont be able to be recognised will he haha....I mean, there cant be many Evertonians who were still in hospital in Lille the 27th Oct when he posted it on RAWK. Someone will know the injured Blue...and therefore, where both he and this RAWK Ratbag work. What a ****house.
He will be lying anyway

Telegraph...
"There is a fraying in Steven Gerrard’s game that says his time at the top is approaching its end. But for Liverpool to risk him leaving Anfield as a consequence of boardroom drift on the issue of his contract would be unforgivable.
In Chris Bascombe’s Telegraph Sport interview Gerrard displays all the wisdom Liverpool are going to need post-Luis Suarez. The rebirth under Brendan Rodgers has stalled."
Sounds like all the RS media fans will be trying to arm wrestle him into a coaching role then Brenda's job.........
Suppose it is similar to what Giggs is doing. Wonder if that will appeal to him more than joining Lampard in the US...

Hopefully, he'll be a disaster.
He's proved his entire career he has little understanding for the games finer points and tactics, but the orcs would worship him and bully the owners in to throwing more and more money at problems of his own creating. Be just like now with Brenda actually.

Welcome back Wayne
Giggs is no threat to LVG, Stevie G La would frighten the life out of Brenda, and with all the ex RS hanging around anfield as well it would take a real idiot to have him as his number 2............
Considering Gerrard's main talent was to rush around like a madman and is tactically and positionally inept I don't think that's something to worry about. I'd love it if he were the next rs boss. Well, him or pardew.
....can't see gerrard taking a pay cut, I naively thought he might be considering retirement, perhaps it is an ego thing. Whatever the reason, he's backing his club into a corner and he might just alienate the crowd if his performances remain lacklustre. How things might change from the adulation of last season when he was hailed as the last of a breed displaying loyalty to one club. Now he might want off.
