So Ward's comments were "off the cuff" then.
It's hard to comprehend how thick he must be to make comments like that to a reporter & not expect them to repeat them, & even harder to imagine how thick you would have to be to threaten legal action when they report them or be surprised when the club refuse to then negotiate with you after you said you would not negotiate!

Benedict Moore-Bridger who wrote the Standard piece also wrote an article in which a university tutor was found to be libelled. The tutor was awarded 60 grand damages.

Sure the agent's a tool, and Sterling's an immature kid and you can't control a lot of that, but this is becoming a recurring theme under this manager and this CEO.
Their authority, leadership, and ability to manage their people is fucking lacking in my view. Starts with Ayre, can anyone really say they're comfortable with that fucking trainee running a mutli-million pound business?
We need cunts that can not only manage these situations effectively, but prevent them from happening in the first place.
We're being held to ransom and made to look fools by a 20 year old kid who's done nothing and his two-bit agent. This isn't Zahavi and Messi here. It's Aidy fucking Ward, and his eyebrow-styled youth.
And we're being barrelled. No wonder we're not a big club anymore.

I'm not Ayre's biggest fan but I can't see how you can lay blame for this one at his door. In fact the club are handling this well. Sterling is a dickhead. Always has been.
Two things:
1 - he's had plenty of time to get this contract negotiated. And now look at it.
2 - he has to bear some responsibility for what his players are doing. They clearly have fucking zero respect for him if they're prepared to carry on like this.
An offer has been on the table for ages. The only issue here is Sterling who thinks he's a world class player when he's far from it.
I thought we were talking about Ayre?
We were.
I'm making a different point
Surprisingly I can't complain too much about ayre here.
We offered a deal... Several deals in fact. Yes he's a harley riding whiff, but this isn't one if his failings for me
No mention of Coutinho, a better footballer, and Ibe, who has his parents representing him, signing deals quickly and without fuss. Sterling and his agent are knobheads. Nothing to blame the club for. In fact they should be applauded for calling their bluff and making them look the twats they are.
I've said since the story broke that Sterling just seems to be a particularly obnoxious toerag. Could the club have done more? I dunno, maybe. But it's hardly the issue.
If we get good money for him we'll come out stronger, I'm fairly sure of that.

Until we waste the good money on shite
As long as Rodgers doesn't spend it I don't think the money will be wasted. I know I'm in the minority but I think others at the club have the right idea about signings, more or less.
You think Rodgers bought all last summer's shit?
No, I think he bought Lallana, Lovren and Lambert.
Balotelli was a bad deal no doubt, there's not much defence of that. I still don't know why they made such a hash of finding a reasonable striker, it was weird. Perhaps only slight defence is all the money already spent on Rodgers' 3, none of which we really needed IMO. But definite fuck up there.
The others were Can, Origi, Markovic, and Moreno. Can's been great and is a bargain. Origi basically just an investment for the future, but looks promising enough. I'd say Moreno looks like a bad choice, even with potential to come. Markovic is the sort of player we should go for. At the time he was one of the most promising in his position in Europe. He's had a bit of nightmare adapting and has been really disappointing. IMO problems like that are just part of the risk in making signings. Some of them will just struggle way more than you can reasonably expect. But IMO the fundamentals were right: top class pedigree and a good age. If you went for 3 players on that basis I think at least 2 of them would be successful.
So IMO (I know I'm in the tiny minority) the approach is right. Plus, on that basis, and on average, they're due more successes than failures this summer. So overall I'd expect a high degree of success.
I agree with a lot of that.
We had a bad summer with our signings, but it wasn't the usual shite we bought and you could see the thinking behind it. For too long we signed overpriced, ageing, "prem proven" shite and were lumbered with them when we couldn't sell them. That's your Lambert, Lovren and Lallana here. I, like Peter, think they were Rodgers' choices. Definitely Lallana.
But the young, prospect route looks like the committee, or whatever it's called. Even if they fail, they have time on their side either to improve, or to still appear to be a worthwhile investment for another club should we move them on. The difficulty is striking the balance between potential and quality that can hit the ground running. I think the young players we signed in the summer will all improve next year. I could even see the thinking behind signing Balotelli, though it was a poor choice.
Rodgers does look like a hopeless judge of a player's ability, though. Stick with someone else picking the players for him if he stays.
I was listening to some podcast yesterday and the guy was saying Rodgers was absolutely adamant we had to sign Lovren. I've heard that from much better sources so no big deal in itself. But he reckoned the committee were wanting to pursue Varane, who Real were unsure about at the time.
If that's true...
Red room I think. The one with the Twitter stars Jay Riley and Graeme Kelly.
Maybe it's not true, who knows.

'None of them things matter to me'
Fuck me.
Just to clarify. His agent who is adamant he is doing what is best for Raheem has advised his client to turn down 130,000 per week because he wanted more and is now saying he wont play for us no matter what we offer.
So if you think that the lad is on 35,000 a week turned down 130,000 a week in favour of letting his contract expire........
So this agent who is doing whats best for his player has cost him 10,000,000 in that one decision.
Right? My maths isnt good but 130,000 minus 35,000 multiplied by 52 multiplied by 2 is just shy of 10,000,000
Fuck me. I read that line above and thought DENSE. When you work it out its next level.
Aidy Ward has cost Raheem Sterling 10million pounds FACT.

If we hold him to his contract and don't roll over and let him join City on £150k a week.
In which case, Ward has got his client a good deal.
If we sell for anything less than a massive offer now - we're the losers in this.

This surely isn't this summer's "will he or won't he" thread, or even its "when will he and for how much" thread, right? Things aren't that bad are they? Xabi Alonso, Suarez, Torres, Gerrard all over 100 pages. We're well on our way with this cunt now? Are things so bad?
He has some talent and got to play with the very best, learning a lot in the process. Now without the very best alongside him, we see exactly what he is and what he is not. I'm more interested in who we buy than watching this "drama" play out.

I think we've done plenty for Raheem Sterling...
I genuinely think we should let him rot for two years and then release him for the compenstaion.. the twat...
