"There has been a lot of talk in the media of late about the takeover and I've been fortunate enough to meet with the people who are going to be taking over the club. I'm very excited." said Gerrard.
"The first thing they said was they were very interested in making sure the future was bright and the club was going to be very successful on and off the pitch. That's what we wanted to hear. I think the players share the same feelings as the fans. We want to be really successful."
