Gerrard calls on owners to extend Rodgers contract

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called on owners Fenway Sports Group not to waste any time in giving manager Brendan Rodgers a new contract.

The Reds boss has just over a year left on his current agreement, although there is an option for a 12-month extension. Such has been the progress this year it seems inevitable the Northern Irishman will be rewarded with a longer, more lucrative deal.
