"Those two guys blew me away in the 10 to 15 minutes I had with them," said Gerrard.
"They told myself and Jamie to tell the other players that they want to help us win a lot more trophies, they want to get the club back into the title race and they want to make Liverpool number one.
"I think it's often forgotten that Liverpool are the most successful club in the country. People have been a bit disrespectful to us in recent years when they have talked about the top three or four sides and we've not got a mention.
"As a fan and a player, it kills me inside because I believe we still are the best club in the land, and with a little investment off the pitch and a bit of money spent on it, we can prove that.
"The most important thing for me is not the money these guys are bringing in or the prospect of a new stadium, but the fact that they have a winning mentality - that is what this club is all about.
"It's really hard to take, finishing fourth and fifth in the league, but the great thing about this takeover is that we already have a world-class manager in Rafa Benitez, so it's not as if absolutely everything needs doing.
"I don't think they are going to throw all kinds of money about for players. We just need a little bit of fine tuning.
"The first presents I got off my dad as a kid were videos of Liverpool winning the league. Year in, year out, the likes of Dalglish, Souness, Barnes, Beardsley, Rush; I've seen them all winning leagues, league after league, so when the media and ex-players say we're miles off winning it, it hurts.
"I'd be sick if I never won it. By the time I finish, I will probably have 15 years under my belt and if I hung up my boots without winning the league once, I'd feel like a failure.
"I've had some of the best nights of my career and my life at Anfield and there are an awful lot of things I'm going to miss.
"The Americans have promised to build us a top stadium but they are aware of the unique atmosphere at Anfield and will try to reproduce that because, when the Liverpool fans are behind you and you're kicking towards the Kop end, there's this feeling that you are always going to score.
"And that's what we want in the new stadium. We want it to be a really horrible place to come with lots of noise. We want to make it a fortress."
