Shockwaves were felt around the world of football yesterday as another of the sumer transfer sagas came to an end. Liverpool fans were left in a state of uproar as club captain Stephen Gerrard decided not to renege on the contract that has made him a very wealthy young man. "It's so unfair," said one distraught Liverpool fan yesterday. "Now he'll probably stay until the end of his contract and we'll get nothing for him." A director said yesterday "Players ought to realise that they can't just go around signing contracts and then keeping them. Clubs rely on the vast backhanders, erm, transfer fees to keep the directors flying first class to Monserrat, erm, I mean support grass roots football." Andy Deepockets-Shortarms of the Screwthefansforalltheirworth Football Agents said "Do they understand that because of players refusing to break their legal and binding contracts some of our agents are having to make do with as little as six months holiday this year ? Some of my members can barely afford to but a Mercedes for their butler." It is thought that Mark Viduka, Robbie Fowler, Ashley "Bankrupting Bradford" Ward and many others are still perfectly happy to grab tens of thousands of pounds every week that would be better off in the pockets of decent, hardworking, family men.
