BEARGER 1,830 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Stolen from FF. Date: 1st January 2019 at 12:40pmWritten by: Follow Follow Last week Sky asked for an interview to go with their Old firm match coverage. Gerrard is protective and clever with his media output and agreed with the usual proviso that he only be asked about the match itself. He later became aware that they intended to expand the scope of that and ask him about his childhood, Liverpool days and life in Glasgow so that they could run a special programme on Hogmanay. They never mentioned any of this upfront but slipped “Steven Gerrard – In His Own Words” into their schedule. With virtually every broadcaster in the world looking for such an interview, Gerrard has held back on such in-depth examinations until he feels he has the team right. The interview was pulled. Sky even went running to Doncaster to try and force an interview but their lack of honesty meant even he couldn’t be persuaded to fight their corner. It’s not the first time Sky have behaved like this – like the BBC, they will have to learn the hard way. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are taking advice from someone at the BBC . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc 280 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 If true this speaks volumes for Gerrard's focus, integrity and determination not to be pushed around by anyone. Nice to see Sky being given a black eye. They pay the piper but they don't call every tune and well done to SG for putting them in their place. I think he will give a fascinating and insightful interview - but in his own time and when he decides to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He's a superstar in the footballing world and if he were to win this league at the first attempt in his first managerial position then given what he inherited his legendary status will be enhanced even further. Then the clamour to interview him would switch into overdrive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
