Shows how much that stupid ball bag Aldridge knows about people at "his" club, said in an interview on sky that Balotelli had not traveled with the squad to the Far East so hopefully that means he is finding a new club..... No you thick twat it might have something to do with his adopted father dying last week......
The list of ex liverpool greats making it in coaching, or management is lengthy.

Why Man City not Liverpool FC will have last laugh over Raheem Sterling sale
- 12:48, 14 JULY 2015
- BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI
- Liverpool may be happy to have sold Raheem Sterling for £49m but the player can have a big impact at the Etihad
Liverpool's Raheem Sterling (R) scores their first goal
They think it's all over...it is for now.
Manchester City's purchase of Raheem Sterling draws an ugly chapter for all parties to a close.
Liverpool will be pleased with themselves. They've secured £49m for a player that had become disillusioned with the manager and the club's ambition, and viciously savaged his character.
In the PR battle, they called Aidy Ward's gamble and trumped him.
Now their fans can go back to venerating Brendan Rodgers, their ex-pros can once more enjoy their retirement uninterrupted and that man who seemingly wore both a United and a City top in the space of 20 minutes can have a good look at himself.
But the story doesn't end there.
City fans respect their own when they see potential - the patience shown to 2014's big-money buy Eliaquim Mangala shows that Sterling will find peace at the Etihad where he found jeers and abuse towards the end of his time on Merseyside.
What's more, while not every Blue approves of the deal, Liverpool's determination to dismantle Sterling's reputation has rallied support for him this end of the East Lancs as supporters saw something familiar.
Like the 20-year-old, City could not compete with the swarm of ex-players pushing the Merseyside message publicly.
Manuel Pellegrini's side were also unfairly treated in the rush to demonise the youngster, lazily cast as the destroyers of English talent getting their bulging cheque book again to fill a quota because they can't produce their own players.
While such a constructed narrative can be frustrating, it is not new for City. The players and their manager are happy to get their heads down and let their football do the talking.
They've proven to be quite good at that - considerably better than Liverpool, or Sterling would not be coming.
The England international is also most comfortable on the pitch, and while he still has room for development the ability he has shown to date suggests he will fit in seamlessly at the Etihad.
His performances for Liverpool in their title-challenging season, against City and for England at the World Cup tell you everything you need to know about his temperament and ability to handle the big stage.
More on Sterling
A Soccerex report, the Golden Boy awards and Rodgers himself have all hailed the player as the best or most valuable youngster in Europe in the last two years.
And if his performances in those seasons are anything to go by, Sterling thrives when among quality players.
His pace and creativity provides City with something they lacked last year and his versatility behind the striker gives Pellegrini more reason than ever to switch to the 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 formation played by other Blues' teams.
So City can let Liverpool be happy for now, confident that come August the Premier League returns and Sterling and the players can earn the headlines they want in the most important way.

My Liverpool supporting mate has just text to tell me he's live streaming the Liverpool match against Thai All-Stars.
At some point during the commentary, Mark Lawrenson stated, after Ibe had been on the pitch for 24 minutes, "he's got more ability than Sterling."
Haha. Well, isn't that a sad indictment of Rodgers' appalling management skills if he's been leaving out someone with more "abilty" than the Golden Boy winner.
They really never tire of spewing their incessant bullshit.

RE – Raheem Sterling
FAO the Liverpool supporting media. I am sure you read this website.
Especially Sky, Talk SPORT, The Mirror, The Star, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail, and any old ex Liverpool players they wheel out to spout their bitterness.
The vitriolic witch hunt shown to Raheem has been disgusting. He has acted no differently to any other player desperate to join another club and further his career. Your very own Adam Lallana went on strike at Southampton to force his move to Liverpool. Was he subjected to this sort of abuse?? Selective memories.
I see that Nicolas Gaitan has gone on strike at Benfica to force his move to United. All over the press? Of course not.
If any of these hypocritical uneducated hacks were offered a job with a bigger company with a higher salary they would go in a heartbeat.
Lets put it into some perspective and give a City point of view for once.
· Liverpool have not got the best deal out of this.
· It is a good deal for both clubs.
· Liverpool have not received £49M from City.
· The fee is not £49M.
· It is £44M plus £5M add ons.
· You owe 20% to QPR which equates to nearly £9M
· Therefore Liverpool receive £35M
· If, in the future we pay you a further £5M in add ons, I will be delighted as it will mean he has been a success.
· You will still owe £1M to QPR from these add ons.
· The fee may prove good value. He may stay here for 10 years at £4M per year.
· £35M for Andy Carroll is a lot of money.
· £14.5M for an injury prone 31 year old German midfielder on £275k per week is a lot of money.
· We rotate our squad to keep our players fresh.
· If he does not play every match then great. It means he will stay a better player for longer and not get burnt out. Remember Michael Owen?
· He is 20 years old. Possibly the best 20 year old in world football right now.
· He was the FIFA Golden boy in 2014.
· Jordan Ibe is not better.
· He had a great season in 2013/14 when playing with Suarez and Sturridge.
· He did not have a great season on 2014/15 when playing with Borini and Lambert.
· Lets see how he does in 2015/16 with Silva and Aguero.
· He could well be lifting trophies with England in the coming decade with all the great players coming through in this generation.
· Lets get behind him and think of England.
· Carragher, Thompson, Lawrenson, Aldridge etc can spout all they like. They are upset because we have broken up the SKY 4 cartel and it looks like their club are the ones that will lose out long term.
· I have just got back from holiday and seen German and Russian kids running around in sky blue with Aguero on their back – not Ings.
· Football is cyclical and it is currently our turn.
· You had a great couple of decades in the 70’s and 80’s but now it is our turn.
· When I was stood on the terraces in 1999 on a Tuesday night watching City lose to Lincoln City, I didn’t blame the clubs above us – I blamed City for the mistakes and years of mis-management.
· We have history too.
· We won the FA cup before Liverpool
· We won the league cup before Liverpool
* We have won the Premier League - Liverpool haven't
· We won a European trophy before Liverpool.
· Liverpool have won a lot more trophies than we have but a bulk was just a generation ago so it is still fresh in the memory.
· Yes we are spending money to bring success.
· Can you please tell me who last won the league without doing so?
· United have been doing it for decades.
· Liverpool did it in the 80’s with the Moore’s family fortune (Barnes, Aldridge, Houghton, Beardsley etc)
· Arsenal started it in the 1920’s with Herbert Chapman and Huddersfield town (google it) so how do you like them apples Wenger??
· He is far more likely to win trophies at City then Liverpool but he has moved just for money?
· City is not a graveyard for English players.
· 30 medals have been awarded to English players in the last 5 years.
· Jack Rodwell was injured for 2 years – that is why he didn’t play.
· Hart, Richards, Milner, Barry and Lescott all won more than any English Liverpool player in the last 5 years.
I understand they are just publishing click bait so their web articles get hits in Malaysia and Singapore and that is how they get their money.
I just want it to be a bit more balanced.
I appreciate that Liverpool and United have millions of fans worldwide and we haven’t, so an anti City article will generate clicks and raise money. True but just ethically wrong.
