PARRY: GERRARD'S STAYING WITH LIVERPOOL
Paul Eaton 06 July 2005
Rick Parry has this morning revealed that Steven Gerrard has
changed his mind over wanting to leave Anfield and committed his
future to Liverpool FC.
The Reds chief executive broke the amazing news as he arrived at
Anfield today following several late night and early morning phone
calls with the Liverpool captain.
"I couldn't be more delighted," said Parry. "He has decided to stay
with us because he realises how much the club means to him.
"Even when he said he was going I don't think the language he used
suggested he really wanted to go. He was talking about the last few
days being difficult and not being able to come back, he never
actually said he wanted to go.
"Over the last 24 hours he has reflected on it, thought it through
and he wants to stay.
"From our point of view it's what we wanted all along. I have
apologised to Stevie if I've mis-read his emotions. I guess after
Istanbul I thought I knew where we were going but he clearly thought
for whatever reason that the club wasn't as enthusiastic about
keeping him as we might have been. He was anxious.
"There were one or two issues with the contract which he took to mean
a lack of enthusiasm on our part, which it wasn't. He understands
that now. We've had some emotional moments together, cleared
everything up and I don't think this will happen again.
"I don't think he's staying because he was concerned about the
negative reaction. I made the point on Monday to him to think of the
fans in Istanbul and ask himself how he could leave that. Obviously
the last day or two hasn't been easy for him but this isn't a
decision for negative reasons.
"He's found it complicated but deep down it was always a difficult
decision for him to say he wanted to go. We're all absolutely
thrilled and I'm more certain than ever that he's fully committed and
that this is where he wants to be."
