Check my post yesterday. I said Lovrens behaviour was unprofessional. but I am yet to see any on here condemn Sterling and his agents behaviour. All I read is excuses

The poor treatment (valuation and man management) of Sterling and his agent by LFC led to the situation where the player's agent declared the player would not be signing another LFC contract. Clearly the subsequent response of LFC and some media outlets (with EX-LFC players) has been undignified and tantamount to a witch hunt of Raheem Sterling.
The player for the sake of his career (and Englands) is well advised to be playing Champions league football every year with whatever club can provide that. In the present situation such a club is not LFC and that's at the centre of all the hurtful soundbites coming from large sections of LFC at all levels. Times have changed.
Mario has been another (predictable) scapegoat at LFC.
As for Mr Gerrald now joining the ex- LFC mafia players he was never be a better penalty taker than Balotelli. Henderson knows that and so should Rodgers have when that kicked off.

I don't think Sterling and his agent have played this particularly welI agreed

But the way Liverpool FC, ex players and fans have handled it has been far far worse

Agreed – the procession of ex Dippers being rolled out to condemn Sterling, and the co-ordinated character assassination is a disgrace! Just listening to players like Aldridge, Quinn etc. – like their fashion sense, scouters are still stuck in the past... the fuckers still think it's the seventies and Liverpool are European champions! They're a mid-table/top-half club who still think they're Billy Big-bollocks!
All we're hearing is Liverpool's side of the story, and Bodger's seems to be ducking any criticism... but the bloke's a nob... i've never liked the guy ever since that cringeworthy TV show and his envelopes... I think he has been a **** in all this, and I'll bet when he goes from the Dippers you'll get ex players like Gerrard coming out and slagging him off!
Also, as been said countless times, if Liverpool genuinely think Sterling is a £50mil player – then pay him £50mil players wages!

He has stayed on £35k a week due to not signing the contract. He could have signed the new contract and been paid 3 times more and still left you this summer. How in any way is that money grabbing from him?

 

[sir baconface]

its just a one way street with these bitter and twisted f***ers, no mass condemnation when lovern threatened to go on strike last season.
its all about them losing their best player to a club who they feel is still beneath them.
delusion on a grand scale

^^ This. In a nutshell.

Stevie "this does not slip" Me should shut the fuck up

It is somewhat ironic that Stevie G now lambasts Sterling for wanting to move to a club willing to pay him more money and give him a better chance to win trophies. What did happen to that Chelsea deal, Stevie?

Gerrard is "disappointed" Sterling wants to leave, quotes the BBC Website. And? Should I, or anyone else, care what emotion Sterling wanting to further his career evokes in a past his best English footballer due to start his semi retirement in the footballing hotbed that is California? He also, laughably, compares Sterling with Henderson and describes Henderson as a "winner", inferring Sterling is not. Well, I'd suggest neither Henderson nor Sterling are really "winners" at this stage, as Liverpool have won very little of late. In fact Henderson has 1 League Cup Winners Medal to his name. Such a proven winner there.

There's a simple reason why Henderson is about to begin his 5th season at Liverpool whilst Sterling, at only 20, and after just 3 seasons as a regular in a professional football side, is having bids in the region of £40m handed in for him, and it's because Sterling's abilities as a footballer outweigh those of Henderson. Henderson's loyalty would be tested if a bigger club, with the potential for actually winning trophies, came in for him.

It's going to be a lot harder for them to sign young prospects after this for sure.

If I were, let's say, a player like Morgan Schneiderlin - and Liverpool came in for me - there's no way on earth that I'd move.

You know that you're gonna have a higher profile than at Soton, but otherwise you're only gonna be 2 or so places above them and ultimately probably not gonna win much.

Your aim is to get to one of the 4 clubs who can realistically win stuff regularly (Us, Chelsea, Arsenal & Utd), and you know that there's not a hope in hell of being able to do that without being castigated and made to look like you're worse that shit.

Imagine if you worked in an regular company and - when you got an offer from an international player - your current employer carried out a witch-hunt campaign to dirty your name and reputation ?

How long do you think that sort of tactic would last before the entire job-market got wind of it, and it became extremely difficult for them to recruit ?

Liverpool playing a very, very risky game with their own reputation here.

Henderson left his home town club he supports, no point questioning his loyalty as he has none.

Ordinarily, the cry for help from someone self harming would be offered and welcomed. Scousepool are that person, but deluded enough not to want help, but just want to continbue to self harm. Let them crack on
