F**k off! That man has been a great servent for the club, and I love that player! Of course, if we NEEDED the money then we would have no choice as the board would do it.
What I'm saying is if it was Gerrard wanting to stay, then I'd say no. He still can offer something for a couple years yet if his heart is in it, and I also still try to believe in some honor being left in football. Simply, he wants to stay then I'd let him. Manure could have sold Giggs I'm sure, but they held on as I'm sure he wanted to stay.
Call me a f**king hypocrite? You're a heartless b***ard from the sounds, throwing away your grandma and all.
EDIT: Let me add, I and most others just stated what they thought, not even directed at you - and you have a rant calling us f**king hypocrites and questioning our love for Liverpool. Just settle down will ya? We all love Liverpool FC.
I wasn't implying to you actually... the hypocrite part, just so happens you're on the last page.
And yes, it's easy for us to say no in the internet forum. It is easy for a newbie like me to go with the flow and say "Hell No".
But to honor the OP starter, I'd give him an honest view that:
1. Gerrard although Marvelous as a player only means alot more for Liverpool FC, and no one else shares the same respect for him. He dives, he whines, and mind you he does not drag them to glory, he only drag Liverpool FC.
2. I can tell sentimentality plays a part in the answer, but the bigger picture is should the offer 80M comes up (Hyphotetical figure by the OP) we'd be dumb not to sell him. No player is bigger than the club, and that 80M can help Liverpool FC (not Gerrard FC) reinforce for years to come.
3. So what if other teams knows we have cash and raise the price, it's better to hold out because we have cash than to hold out because we can't afford it in the first place.
So... just like you, I love Gerrard and I love LFC. Sorry if I offended you, I really didn't mean to aim the hypocrite thingy at you, you know how it goes these days, sometimes you post and someone slip above you due to time lag.
I love LFC, but in forums I use my head to make arguments... not my heart. Because if we are to use hearts there's no need for argument since we'd be spelling the same words, LFC.
