John Barnes' Granny wrote:I think the reason Liverpool haven't come out and said "Gerrard is not for sale" is because:
1. Parry accepts Gerrard is angry after what happened last season and Parry knows that Gerrard is seriously considering leaving.
2. Parry feels that there is a small chance of changing Gerrard's mind and as such he doesn't want to say anything to the press about Gerrard until he has received a final answer from Gerrard.
3. IF and when Gerrard finally tells Parry he wants to go, Parry will tell the press that Gerrard is not for sale and try to drag as much money from Chelsea as possible, as well as protect the club and his own back from the fans' wrath and put the blame solely on Stevie's shoulders. However, if and when Gerrard tells Parry he wants to go Parry will have privately accepted that Gerrard will leave and he will only go through the motions of appearing to oppose the move so as to maximise the fee and protect his back.
I honestly believe that no bid has been made, no deal done, and Parry thinks there's a small chance of changing Stevie's mind, and that is why we have silence from the board at the moment as they try their best to get Gerrard to stay.

If the parting of the ways comes and Gerrard goes it will not be the end of the world - great players do not make great sides as Chelsea will find out next season and with Benitez WE have a manager who places more importance on the team than the individual - that has always been the Liverpool way and it's coming home with Bene.
