Jordan Henderson compendium thread

Sven Kistner says that Henderson "will have to earn back the trust of the LGBTQ+ community".

Or he could just ignore them. At the end of the day, he campaigned for them, supported them and their causes. He then took a job in a country which they (quite rightly) have a problem with and it's been a verbal assault on him ever since. He owes them fuck all. Or anyone else for that matter.

When did he preach ffs? He was asked to back a campaign and he said yes. That’s pretty much it.

Bored of this now tbh, absolute shite coming out of peoples mouths like they are holier than thou and having a good old laugh that he didn’t do what he said he wanted to…so f***ing what. He’s taken a very good offer and backed it with the spiel he would have been asked to say. He’s got out there and found out it isn’t for him for whatever reason. Now he’s playing at Ajax. Good luck to him, he doesn’t have to answer to anyone but himself. Little keyboard warriors shouting look at me, look at me, media and presenters mocking his decisions. If I was Jordan I would turn around and say fuck all y’all, I’ve achieved more than you ever will now I’m trying to see out my career how I see fit. If it works great if it doesn’t I’ll try the next thing.

Deary me. People criticising JH for selling out his principals = Little keyboard warriors? What a bizarre take. Have you been on the pop? I don't recall you generally being this type of poster.
I suppose ranting on like a bairn at people who despise the Saudi regime and are bitterly disappointed with an ex SAFC player for making a mockery of his LGBT+ campaign for a sportswashing payday is mature and reasoned, and not at all being an attention seeking little keyboard warrior, eh? ;)

He's already said 'fuck all y'all' to the LGBT+ community and the people who respected him as a man of integrity, so I'm not sure how you think saying it now would achieve anything.
The people condemning him are already done with him and presumably aren't going to give a toss. He made his choice, I think he bitterly regrets it.

He's a sportswasher. I want nothing to do with anyone who is involved with it. It's a filthy business. Our club is already tainted after the Mags fiasco and it's very sad. Does that make me 'holier than thou''? I guess it does! :lol:

It would be good that once he is out of there that he comes out and says what a shit place it is and denounces it.

Agreed. Also I would imagine it would go some way to getting his reputation back on track. I'd like to think that he was talked into a move to the KSA before he came to realise the ramifications of his decision. He's not known for being the sharpest tool in the box.
He's basically a nice lad, I still can't believe how stupid he's been. You'd think someone around him would've given him some sound advice, there's more to life than extra millions for a multi millionaire.

I'm chilled, enjoyed the conversation. Let's hope for 3 points the morra. I love reading this site and one this common about is how frustrated everyone is about how our love for our club is not enough to get the success we all crave. I'm 66 now and just hope before I join the great makem club in the heavens is for us to be successful..... long term.

Gerrin? Well you are young enough to have seen 73 and the little general lifting the fa cup.
I feel for the fans who didn't share that moment and understand the frustrations.
This is life as a Sunlun fan though.
 
Can't see him not being a success at ajax, they've had a terrible start to the season so anything is a bonus to them.

Like us

It was a rant but yeah stand by every word. Jordan wasn’t an ally, a spokesperson or poster boy for the lgbtq community. Due to his standing in the football world and his general personality they asked him to back and speak for them. Was he supposed to say no? Of course not, does it make him look good? Yes. But end of the day as a family man with principles he said yes.

Should that then stop him from earning money in a country that is currently in so many sports with people involved that get zero criticism? For me that’s a very naive way of thinking, he’s human and at some point he has to think of his own interests.

I honestly think a lot of the so called anger on here is because he went to a country to is actively promoting them up the road. Nothing to do with human rights just a bit of jealousy and hurt. If you are genuinely affected by this so called betrayal then fair enough you have an opinion as do I but he seems to be being made a scapegoat as they love to do in the British press especially with someone that was well respected due to his demeanour and professionalism.
 
Let’s get things straight here, Henderson went to play in a pub league for a reported crazy amount of money, the reason he’s manufactured a move is because Southgate has been in his ear suggesting that if he had any chance of playing in the Euros then playing in the Saudi pub league wasn’t to his advantage, why he’s moved to Ajax I’m unaware, it has been suggested that tax avoidance could be a motivation, sounds plausible as he’s unlikely to want to lose any of the filthy lucre he’s accrued in Saudi Arabia.
 
He did all his pr guff and rainbow laces and allthe rest to up his profile then
Saw chances at Liverpool we’re gonna be limited so took the big payday off from bunch of lads who openly dislike the selfsame group he’d built his pr social stance on.
Then doubled down and did his car crash press release of he’s going to change attitudes in Saudi rather than being honest and saying fuck me they offered so much money I wasn’t gonna refuse that
went there then realised he didn’t like it/ wouldn’t be going to the euros so hot footed it to a team that would take him.
let’s be honest no team in the premier league would want to touch him as he will be a media circus for any club that may have want him

idont blame him going for the cash that’s entirely his decision, but at the same time I’ve little sympathy if he then whinges he doesn’t like it there

Is he coming back to the UK?

If he goes to NL then he can avoid UK tax. Maybe one of the reasons he isn't going to an EPL club.

Not sure what will happen but I'm pretty sure he will be getting some good advice to avoid getting hit with a massive tax bill.

Not sure about that like. He hasn’t had much good advice lately!!

It makes all the difference in the world. If a normal lad or lass from around here with precious little in the way of wealth went out there to work it is very hard to be critical. However for a multi millionaire x times over and very vocal LGBTQ campaigner JH to go just makes him look like a massive c_unt. Doesn't need a cent of their money but still fucked all of his beliefs over for more bags of silver. Ten's if not hundreds of thousands of people in the UK and maybe elsewhere saw him as the perfect role model, I certainly did. Now they see him as a just another sports-washed sell out, same as all the LIV golfers except they probably never pretended to care so much about the rights of the oppressed as Jordan did.

Bingo but reading through the thread I think you’re wasting your time.

He could’ve quite easily said I don’t want to mix sport with politics especially when he clearly has no real interest in it.

He’s not the only one mind, the celebrity world full of people aligning themselves to causes to make themselves look morally superior only to fold like a pack of cards for twenty pieces of silver.

For me it has zero to do with them up the road, I’ll happily admit I’d have no problem if shoe on other foot and they took us over, nor wood 99% of the faux outrage brigade who ‘claim’ they would want no part of it.

It’s the hypocrisy of it all that gets on my tit ends.

Fair enough mate, a much better post and I respect your opinion while mainly disagreeing with it.

I think that's the problem right there - the 'people around him' are probably all getting a cut of his wages, so it's their greed as much as his that caused this fvck up

It’s still ultimately Henderson’s decision though. He’s a grown man, he needs to be stronger than to be manipulated by others of this is the case.
