Should everyone have just shrugged and moved on and said we shouldn’t mix sport and politics?
How would you feel if Kenny Dalglish started writing a column in “that newspaper” or agreed to effectively promote it for a big bundle of cash.
People have a right to be annoyed by this and it’s right we’re discussing in the football forum.
Either all that “this means more” or that moral superiority we sometimes like to hold over fans is utter bullshit and we accept we’re just another plastic club that’s wants success at any cost and don’t care what our players - current or ex - do.

It’s a shame on many levels - footballing and non-footballing.
