If Henderson had gone to another PL club I would have thanked him for the years of commitment and effort to LFC and would have regarded him as a legend but by going to Saudi he was supporting the clear sports washing that the Saudi's have done with City etc. You cannot disagree with the City or Newcastle senario and then say it's okay to take their money and for them to use your name to sportswash.
Henderson knew he had made a massive mistake and left after circa 6 months and how much damage he had done to the gay community and I can see why FSG wouldn't want him back.
{Ed001's Note - the Sauds have nothing to do with Citeh, you are talking crap.}

So OP, do you take issue with Bobby, Mane and Fabinho too then?
29 Jul 2026 18:07:22
What damage to the gay community? Some hurt feelings? He made a mistake, lots of people make mistakes in life.

The irony of you slating Henderson for taking Saudi money, whilst using the username "NunezComeBack" is surely not going to be lost on anyone. I presume this is satire, or you're fishing for bites.

The Hendo hate is uncalled for. Ok, he made a mistake going to Saudi, but the LGBTQ+ lot seem to think he owes them something.
He didn't have to get behind their campaign in the first place, but he did.
People calling him a gay basher and stuff are stepping over the line. There seems to be a lot of people who would love his career to be ruined because he went to Saudi.

Wijnaldum too.

? City's owned by a UAE-based group. Saudi Arabia is a completely different country. That's some crazy low-IQ energy.
Hendo can do what he likes, he can't change the religious beliefs of an entire nation. I bet 90% of the people who accuse him of doing wrong by taking the job work for or with companies with morally questionable practices. No difference.

Henderson and his virtue signalling that blew back in his face when his missed wanted the Saudi cash but couldn't handle the lifestyle out there.
He was integral
to
our game under Klopp and I'll
value him for that, but let's save the flag waving.

What really got to me is when Jill Scott slated Jordan Henderson for going over to Saudi due to human rights and gay rights.... Lo and behold, the World Cup comes around in Qatar.... Miss Scott takes the money and goes over there to commentate on the games.... Money talks.... ??

Hendo didn't have to wear the rainbow laces before he went to Saudi, he chose to.
That was his show of voluntary solidarity with the LGBTQ community.
Going to Saudi was a career decision when he didn't have a lot of options.
It doesn't diminish his support for the LGBTQ community, in my opinion, as a white, straight, over 50, male.
It's as stupid as saying "all the foreign players who come to play in the PL have the same politics as the UK government".

Please tell me this isn't a new Harry account?
29 Jul 2026 20:18:18
Lightsise, who's waving flags? How did it blow up in his face? Do you think he's really bothered by a bunch of Karens on social media? He secured the bag. Mission accomplished.
Well said, Ron. Very good point.

How many Harries do we have now? You were right, Zed, it's like whack-a-mole.
29 Jul 2026 22:09:42
Perhaps Hendo wanted the money?
It seems to me that there was / is a lot of hypocrisy around what Hendo - a grown up with the right to choose - decided to do when he left Liverpool. Coming to the end of his playing career and with people waving truly massive amounts of cash, why not simply take the money for himself and his Danilo.
In his position, I would, but maybe the two of us would be the only ones to take the money.
Like I said, earlier he had / has a great attitude, a great leader and a very good footballer.

??? Danilo is a code word for family. ???
30 Jul 2026 05:39:17
Didn't the move cost him money in the end?
Due to taxes and buying himself out of his contract. Sure I read that somewhere.

This is just virtue signalling imo. If we are talking about recent human rights violations, then I'd have the US at the top of the list as the worst offender but there has been very little said about them. The Saudis are morally poor and should be called out but there is a double standard going on between West Asian countries and Western/European countries in general.
What Hendo does/is doing should be separated from who his employees are unless he is directly involved in their activities. He was just an employee for them and similarly how I don't hold every American accountable foe the atrocities their current government is committing, I don't hold him accountable for what Saudi is doing.

Jordan and Saudi Arabia are very close neighbours.
