Price per Head: Rodgers not happy with Ferguson’s Gerrard claims
Brendan Rodgers said that Sir Alex Ferguson is probably the only person in football who doesn’t believe that Steven Gerrard is a “top, top player”, and price per head services can see the controversy.

“I don’t think it was credible, what was said. You only need to look at Steven’s career to see that; the accolades he has received throughout his life, not just from managers but from other top, top players.
“I saw a survey of the player of the year during all the years it has been operating and the player who won that survey as the best was Steven.
“That was from players and supporters and there were some prestigious names on there. He may not have won the title but that is more because of the teams he has been in. He is world class and still operates at a high level.”

“He is fighting for his career in the game. He comes in here every day and gives everything. In the time he has been here he has improved and improved and improved.
