The Kop Magazine - September 2013

In this issue

Everyone seems to be asking what the future holds for a star Liverpool player at the moment and so are we. Except it’s not Luis Suarez but a loyal player who deserves to be on our front cover that we’re putting under the spotlight – Steven Gerrard.

Stevie G celebrates 15 years at Anfield this season, a club record decade as Reds skipper and has been handed a contract that keeps him here until the age of 35. Given that goes against FSG’s age-related transfer policy, we look at whether the club is already planning for the future in the same way they did when Kenny Dalglish was 33 by identifying Gerrard as the next manager of Liverpool Football Club? We’ll also tell you why his role will change in home games this season.

And then there\'s Suarez and the ongoing Arsenal saga. Rather than bore you senseless by going through it bit by bit, we instead analyse what could happen next and whether Kopites should continue to support the Uruguayan. John Aldridge pulls no punches on that matter and Keith Costigan gets the inside track from Boston.

Our 2013/14 preview looks at whether Brendan Rodgers’ side can take their momentum from last year into the new campaign, and we celebrate Bill Shankly’s 100th birthday by giving you the chance to win copies of our glossy new Shankly 100 magazine.
