Jordan Henderson (signed for Brentford)

I don't usually comment on football matters on here (as I'm a mag) .... I'm only really interested in the political discussion not footie .

But I'll say this :-

I've been a Newcastle supporter since I was a nipper, when I used to squeeze in free with my late old man - I used to stand on the old Leazes End as a 12 year old with my mates , ...and I followed the team around the country as a teenager ( when we were absolutely dreadful)

So, I supported the team through thick & thin. Not the ownership - and nothing will ever change that.

You won't find any statements from me in favour of PIF part-ownership ( or Ashley or John Hall for that matter ).

A football team / club belongs to its fans - not ( apart from in a strictly financial sense ) - to the latest transient owners.

But we can find several statements from Henderson about supporting LBG (... and we can see him wearing rainbow 🌈 coloured laces ffs ).

For him to ignore that past - and go play in Saudi makes him a hypercrit imho.

And now he gets a "yes " from you ?

Given all you've said 🤔

Hypercrit :lol: :lol:
 
Just read this otr from the scout - always good with info

Got a message this morning from someone who gets some info every so often (has been right with a few things in the past)

Sounds like Henderson is likely to sign, approx 50k a week. We are after Roony Bardghji, RM, and some 6'6 French lad but no names were given for that one. I've asked about the French lad to see if I can get more, there's a young CB Toure that i watched a couple years ago that is about that size so could be him

Spurs are after Roony too so we'll have to be very quick!

They still do. But I don't believe Hendo has apologised, has he?

Ahem
I said six months ago that if I offended anyone or if people felt I let them down, I apologise. My beliefs have never changed, I've not changed and I can only apologise if people do feel let down. “Looking back, at the time, it was a big decision and a decision that was right for me and my family at the time.19 Jan 202

Aye, some apology like! :lol:
 
Henderson was a massive hypocrite going to Saudi after the work he was doing off the pitch. I was very vocal about this and thought the bloke was an idiot. Tarnished his reputation. The money was ridiculous, and it wouldn't of been such an issue, hadn't he totally just abandoned the work he was doing off the pitch.

However, now time has passed, and we're back in the Prem, he is absolutely perfect for us with the experience he has.

He is still getting a look in with England, and was wanted my Monaco in January. He would be a great signing. 2 year deal, with the option of a further year, and then a coaching role at the club, would be ideal.

Oh yes, now we are back in the premier let’s forget our morals, eh? 🤷
 
Just read through 6 pages about Saudi sports washing, us buying Isidor from Russia, but skipped over the LGBQT and Sharia rights bollocks

Can anyone tell me yet if the club actually wants to bring Henderson back? Or is it just fairytale stuff made up that has run riot?

There used to be a time where if you made a mistake, owned up to it, and apologised - people would accept it and move on.

I think if the money is reasonable, this is a no-brainer. Has bags of experience, can help our young players grow, and can still do a decent job for us.

Not when they’re using a bullshit PR of “bringing the game of football to Saudi Arabia”

The blokes a Gonk who sold all of his morals for cash. Anyone defending him can’t even speak another word about the mags being owned by the Saudi’s either, because they’d look like Gonks too

He pretty much owned up to his individual mistake after a few months.

The mags continue to lick the Saudi hoop and make excuses for their human rights abuses after 3 and a half years.

Can you spot the 'slight' difference?

Bit of a cop out excuse that. The Saudi Arabia issues and human rights issues were well known long before Henderson took the money. If he had any morals, he wouldn’t have moved would he?

So a lad playing for us who played for a club in Saudi Arabia for a short time is the same as being owned by the actual country? I am a proper Gonk because I think the 2 things have no similarity at all

Can’t say a word about the mags being owned by them :lol: Doesn’t matter who the country is, the simple matter of fact is that no football club should be owned by a country
