If we got a new manager...

[PaulMcC]

And he decided that after watching Gerrard's performances this year he'd like to sell him before he goes downhill, would you support him doing so?

[Guest PurpleNose]

Yes.

[Unrighteous]

Yes.

[Kevin D]

Haha. Behave.

[AL66GOLF]

No. I would expect a new manager to be able to get him to perform better.

[Brownie]

I'd question his judgement immediately although the proof would be in the pudding.

[23_Carra_Gold]

If we got upwards of £20m and it allowed him to build his own side then yes, I'd support him.

[Woo]

Fuck no, and anyone who would needs their heads checking.

 

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

[Unrighteous]

Fuck no, and anyone who would needs their heads checking.

 

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

 

Class is permanent, yes, but so is the aging process. We have maybe two years to sell him for a large amount.

[Woo]

You don't sell players like Steven Gerrard. Simple as that. We're not Everton for fuck sake.

[Paulie Dangerously]

We owe Gerrard so much. The number of times he has bailed us out of the shit with a moment of genius is uncountable. The fella is fast approaching 30. I don't think he's going to get any better than he is now. If Inter or someone offered 25million for him I think the club would accept.

[PaulMcC]

Like it or not, we are a selling club as much as we are a buying club.

 

We sell to buy.

[Lucky Pierre]

If a new manager came in and sold Gerrard I would willingly pull a rifle on him at the game.

[Bogman]

Peoples attitude towards him at times amazes me.

 

He's only 29 and people want rid of him.

 

Dear Lord, please help me, because it must be me......................

[Brownie]

Like it or not, we are a selling club as much as we are a buying club.

 

We sell to buy.

 

That's different to actively going out and selling someone though, which is what some people seem to be suggesting.

[Woo]

I am genuinely astonished that people would advocate selling Steven Gerrard. For £20m? Fucking hell.

[Byrnie]

I wouldn't hold it against Stevie if he wanted to leave. He owes us nothing.

I would immediately call any football managers judgement into question if he was contemplating selling a player of Gerrards calibre.

 

You do not sell your best player under any circumstances.

[PaulMcC]

I'm really pissed off with him, and what i see as his lack of effort and sulking, and think unless he gets exactly who he wants as the next manager he might carry on like this.

[Unrighteous]

We're a selling club, Woo. Torres will be gone in a few years as well. Only new ownership can change that...

[Red Mist]

Only if he wanted to leave. I wouldn't begrudge Stevie a big move elsewhere, just as long as he doesn't go to an English club.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Is the general consensus that United made a big mistake selling Ronaldo?

 

He clearly didn't mean as much to them as Gerrard does to us, but he was probably their best player.

[RobbieOR]

If the current manager wanted to sell Gerrard everybody on here would have a heart attack. I don't see how it should change because of manager.

[PaulMcC]

Wenger has sold some of his top players in the past and is seen as a genius in the transfer market.

[Unrighteous]

If the current manager wanted to sell Gerrard everybody on here would have a heart attack. I don't see how it should change because of manager.

 

I think it's the ownership that will push for Gerrard's sale. I wouldn't blame Rafa for selling Ste, but I'd fucking crucify him after he wasted the money on shite.

[peterb17]

so for 25m we would be able to shop once again in the 7 - 8 million range for 3 players as our squad is so weak.

Also a new manager? we have to pay the old one off so out of the 25m we have 8 mill left.....then the new manager wants to build his team.....we have had net spend for the last three windows and with no champs league we will not sell to buy as stated above but we will sell to pay off the interest then the old manager and his staff.

Which credible manager is going to come in and want to manage us as if he is good enough he will go to other clubs which have money and owners who aren't killing the club
