Just seen a lot of comments of people complaining about the line up’s ‘diversity’ without recognising that the domestic season means most of the male pundits etc will be working on male football.

UniFox21 Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 All the reports of Henderson leaving Liverpool for "life-changing" money gave me some mixed thoughts. This tweet I think summarises it pretty well. I was listening to a podcast about how players need more support from their agents etc when retiring. Followed by people needing to show more understanding for players and the troubles they face.

If they can't do that on the wages they're currently on then there's something wrong. 3

I've just done a quick and maybe inaccurate calculation and his take home pay at that salary and with 6.5% pension contribution would be £3,413,478.40. I'm sure more is squirreled away in image rights, investments and commercial opportunities and that is still a lot of money, but if you're living the life of someone earning that as take home pay you wouldn't say no to more. Honestly if someone told me I could go abroad for four years and increase my annual salary from £7.28m to £30m and it be tax free I'd more than likely do it. Completely agree with that the narrative about life-changing is being completely overused and a really tone deaf way of putting the point across. At the end of the day we make individual choices, someone like Vardy turned it down, and I admire that a lot. I don't think I'd be so strong, and I suspect a lot of other people wouldn't either. I'm more interested to see if this ends his England career or not should he decide to go there. 2

You're making it sound like Vardy's turned it down due to moral reasons He's turned it down because the missus doesn't fancy living in an Arab country for a few years.

Depends on rhe person. If you've got a wife and kids you aren't taking them over there. So you have to judge if you can be away from them for so long, only seeing them maybe once a week.

SemperEadem Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Sheff United are going to be in for a right old slog this year.

That bit about him feeling he needed to do this interview to get out in-front of the tabloids who were threatening to do another exposé, they are absolute scum. He's 3 weeks out of rehab ffs 4 1
CosbehFox Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Be disappointing to see Henderson go for the Saudi bucks. He’s spoke well on equality etc 1

foxfanazer Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Big respect to Dele Alli for speaking out. Seems like his hands been forced to talk about it unfortunately but brave nonetheless 1

Hope he kick-starts his career this season. I'm pretty harsh on the people when they talk about mental health because it's often an excuse for their behaviour and there's a massive difference between being depression and suffering with depression/feeling anxious Vs having anxiety, and even those who suffer with things for a short period of time or as a result of some current issue (not that it's not awful and people need and deserve help, but there's often a resolution compared to people who will always suffer, no matter what). But, this is horrific. The mental toughness required to cope with that is incredible and to still become a professional footballer (a bloody good one at that) is amazing. I hope he gets all the support he needs. He'll have gone from being derided to an example of what hard work and dedication can achieve. Time to start another band of misfits and the unloved, so we can win the Prem again...

I've just done a scan of 3 videos about it and every comment was at the very least sympathetic, if not really supportive. That was a shock that people would actually show some good human qualities!

Looks a moving watch, moments where himself and Neville look like they're about in tears
Wymsey Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 (edited) Not sure, if I was an Evertonian, if would be content about signing a 38-year-old (Ashley Young). The experience may help, yes, but it sounds like the club doesn't have a long-term plan in making such signings. Edited 13 July 2023 by Wymsey
Super_horns Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Willian having a medical at Forest . Be an impressive signing for them if he can play he did at Fulham .

UniFox21 Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Watching teams we were streets ahead of develop and progress whilst we drop is painful
Blanchflower78 Posted 13 July 2023 Posted 13 July 2023 Frightening to see how far advanced Villa are now from us and even Forest. Scandalous how we've been allowed to drift in to oblivion.
