Always was the likely outcome once he agreed to it…thankfully over and we can draw a line in this chapter.
Thank you Hendo, all the best to you.
Thiago next?
Plus add ons so probs closer to 15m, would’ve been happy with 10m. He’s 33 and he’s really poor these days.
We really didn't value him anymore as a footballer if we were salivating at freeing up his wages with that minor a fee.
With every reason.
Hendo without his stamina to get up and down the pitch and leadership to drive the team on is and always has been an ordinary player…
Great servant, fantastic captain but far from this midfield maestro.
And cover his wages? What do you think.
I agree, but we have an amount of money that likely won't buy anything but a downgrade on both of these players at their best.
Exactly, so I don't understand why some seem upset by the fee.
If it wasn't for the Saudis, I'd say that Gerrard was doing us a solid.
I don't think there was any going back once he'd agreed to it. Even if he changed his mind, the damage was done and it would always have followed him around.
It's a shame from a personal point of view, but I'm glad we're getting something for him. The team had become old and slow, so this gives us a real opportunity to breathe new life into it.
Glad he’s gone. It was the right time to move on for all parties.
No-one's saying they are. Farky's point, with which I for one agree, is that the fees we're getting aren't all that - better than nothing maybe, but not so's we're going to notice the difference they make. If Hendo in particular had wanted to stay I'd have preferred to keep him, as much for his personal qualities as for those on the pitch.
In which case people mustn’t complain about FSG being tight-fisted gits. Either we let players leave because they’re no longer performing at the required level or we hang onto sentiment and memories but fall behind. Which we have in the last season and are only scrambling to catch up.

Why not? Usually appearance based, and I’d imagine he’d play almost every game, and success. Given they are a mid table team success may be finishing 4th or somat
Milner and Millie. Christ we’re fucked
