Jordan Henderson | New Athletic Interview: I strongly believe that me playing in Saudi Arabia is a positive thing

Makes that interview look even more daft. Doubt it was worth ruining his reputation over the absolute plum.
Easy fix

Can pretend he was coerced into it and felt obliged to praise the league while he was there. Then got away asap

The fact he’s taking a huge pay cut to return to Europe will still resonate with a lot of people
 
Going from Saudi Arabia to Amsterdam, one of the biggest difference in culture you can experience all over the world that :lol:

I'm a bit sad he ruined his reputation and legacy over this whole thing, but it did show what a cnut he is. No sympathy from me, gotta live with the consequences of your own decisions.

I doubt that schtick will work with members of the LGBTQ+ community along with many of their allies. It was always a big feck you in their face.

You lot made a tidy cash off of a horse that lost its legs. You should thank your old lad, Stevie for that.

We got nothing for Ronaldo.

Him and Fabinho, actually. Gerrard can be put in the same boat as all these players of course.

Correct. He's a hypocritical prick. All this does is further cement his stupidity.
 
Fast forward half a year...

Played for Ajax? Check

Sign him!
I mean he's wiling to compromise his principles so he'd be chomping at the bit to play for United. He'd probably kiss the badge and celebrate winning a penalty with a dive in front of the kop.

I first thought you were serious. Then you mentioned us getting a penalty in front of the Kop.
 
I'm just waiting for the shock announcement that we signed him to a 4 year deal on 300k a week.
 
This will either be a huge success, or an enormous flop. He comes with too much expectation and too high a price tag for it to be anything in between
 
I have no idea if I should be happy. I think I am though.
 
Were those 5 months really worth losing his reputation over at the age of 33, after playing PL football for over 12 years? :lol:
 
After the hit his rep took no surprise he's going to a club with the same name as a popular disinfectant.

Really makes you wonder what these lads have going on upstairs.

Actually I should reframe that statement. I’m sure that interview was probably not his idea and it was probably some agent/PR company driven idea. If the same person was involved in that and then this he should get rid of them.

Does it?

or is it just a reminder of Footballer ego’s?

young lads in their 20’s earning millions per year, put high on a pedestal doted by fans as though they are legit GODS????

These guys are drama mega rich puppets, the mega rich don’t care nor listen too us peasants opinions of them
 
I'm so sick of all this claiming to be an ally then ditching support. I really hate the way some drape themselves in rainbow flags when it suits and they can get positive headlines, then drop the support if life gets tough or there's more money available. Applies to many sports organisations and commercial companies as well. Just sick of the bloody hypocrisy and being used to gain points during Pride. You’re either an ally or you’re not – and an ally is always an ally, not just when it’s convenient. Sorry for the rant.
 
So he's wrecked is reputation, made his family move to somewhere they didn't want to be, and is probably not going to get paid for doing it.

I almost feel sorry for him.

No need to be sorry about that, you are quite right.

Thank you @Erebus for this rant, spot on.
