LIVERPOOL WILL NOT be exploring the option of bringing Steven Gerrard back to the club so that he can claim a Premier League winners’ medal, says the club’s chief executive Peter Moore.
Many supporters at Anfield have called for a legendary figure to be re-signed so that he can claim the prize which eluded him throughout a distinguished playing career.
Gerrard came close to tasting domestic glory while on Merseyside, but suffered a collection of agonising near misses.
He is now three years into retirement and the current manager of Scottish giants Rangers.
Moore admits that would present a sizeable obstacle in any discussions over a return to Liverpool, while a current member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad would also be asked to step aside.
With all of that taken into account, there is considered to be no chance of Gerrard making an emotional return to his roots at the age of 39.
“Let me explain what would have to happen,” Moore said in quotes reported by South African website Soccer Laduma.
“So the question is, ‘can we bring Steven Gerrard back to get a Premier League medal?’ and the question I ask you is: which player do you want to cut from the squad to make that happen?
“If you haven’t noticed, he’s the employee of a different football club at the same time as well.
“Look, we all love Stevie G and we’re all very proud of him for his managerial career, but I keep seeing this ‘bring him in on a five-day contract so he can win a medal’ [but] it just doesn’t happen that way.
“Chemistry in a dressing room is important. Can you imagine that? That you have to cut a player, to say ‘you’re not going to get a medal’?
“It’s not like they’re handing these things out to everybody, you’ve got a squad, right? And thirdly, you can’t add a player to a squad once it’s locked. Other than that, it’s really possible.”
*Standing Ovation*
That first pic is very Bill and Monica. Jus sayin…
Sharp
Fionnuala seems to have gas
Which one is Bill do you think
I read in one of the newspapers that she obtained two tickets from the Mayo Country board….I hope this isn’t true?
What would you expect Dave usual shenanigans in the gaa. She should have joined chairde maigh eo and attended as much as possible that would look good on a greasy lying crook sorry I mean look good on a local politicians cv wouldn’t it?
I couldn’t get a ticket either.. Guess the Gaa must be discriminating against me also !!
Thats a very tender looking photograph….. Wonder will be state sponsored phone calls to Kenya to explain that she and Enda are just ‘friends’?
“G’wan Michelle..have a rummage around my junk”…
That’s one dirty look from Yer wan on the left …..Enda’s missus by any chance ?
I think so
@ballbreaker: Yep, that is indeed IndaKinny’s long-suffering wifey.
So the politicians get in free while the ordinary fan has to pay????
Invite pat Spillane he can judge is it puke football or not
Jaysus . Don’t invite Joe Umbrella. The sarcasm if the shower of shites do arrive
Great move by shamrock rovers. She’ll be complaining about not getting international tickets next, if we look like Qualifing for the world cup. She’s a great sports fan of teams doing well.
Super initiative..
@Phil Quinlan: Bad scant to Rovers, they would not give even one free ticket to a former player for his 80th birthday a few/years ago, Bray Wanderers another team my father in law played for were delighted to mark the occasion for him as were his other old team in Holyhead but Rovers refused point blank to make any gesture, not even a card and now these parasites get freebies. I hope the karma is instant for them.
Well done Rovers, but don’t hold your breath . These people are out for their own publicity, not LOI
Ballina is traditionally Sligo Rovers so this will go down well on the east bound N59
Have to give it to Michael D he goes to some amount of games. Id say he would be a better pundit than most spoofers especially when games are played on Rte and any real fan just has to laugh.
She got tickets in the end.
She only goes to finals. In Rovers’ case she might have to wait a while.
Michelle Mulhern dumped out of the Dail by her own voters and returns to the seanad by appointment of the fuhrer. Big mouth and well disliked down her own country.
Absolutely fantastic idea rovers let us know how many turn up ok
INDEPENDENT TD Mick Wallace might apply if the Boys are not playing
O God she isnt going to kiss him, I feel sick….
Give them a water,i mean warm,welcome.
Rewarding the giant Ego of the West.
Ohhh Mrs Kenny is keeping her eye on her
Why don’t they let everyone in free? Again the ordinary Joe’s are pushed out!
I notice Kenny’s wife keeping an eye on things..
Clever publicity stunt by Rovers. As a paying season ticket holder I wouldn’t get too upset about the offer. Unlikely to see many TDs and Senators there anyway. At least Michael D will be there. Like Mick W. he goes to the less glamorous games.
Fans who are real supporters can’t get tickets every year. Yet politicians seem to think they have a God given right to tickets. If ya have seen the amount of fans looking for tickets .to be quoted seven hundred .
