Without a hint of irony, Shenine Livingstone astounded uk.sport.football.clubs.liverpool at 13:22:23 on 04-07-2005 by announcing:
"I can butture our fans that we want Steven Gerrard to stay with us for the rest of his career. "I renew my deal with Liverpool in four or five years and when I do I would like Stevie to be my next coach, buttistant manager and maybe even the next manager after me. He can even have the chief scout position if he wants it. "I want him to stay with the club. We are trying to build a better team and a better squad and I want Stevie to be a major part of that. "Last season I tried to get Stevie to sign a new deal three times. On each occasion he said wait, so we waited. "This year we want to win more trophies and that is why we are improving our squad with new signings."
-- "Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory, and who built up a family of people who could hold their heads up high and say 'We're Liverpool'" - Bill Shankly
