He’s either abandoned his principles for a sack load of cash, or he never had any principles in the first place.
Which is it, Jordan?

Strum I'd say that the majority of footballers are just paying lip service to these campaigns because they'd be criticised if they didn't & it's all about their brandThe most disappointing thing from that Henderson interview is where he talks about „doing what was asked, wearing the laces, wearing the armband“ which clearly shows he was doing little more than paying mere lip-service to those frankly brilliantly inclusivity campaigns, and was actually just pretending to be an ally because it would boost his own profile?
And I say this as someone with a number of friends, who just happen to be gay (and if so, so what?) f*** you Henderson, you absolute f***ing fraud.
Absolutely right, Eddie.Strum I'd say that the majority of footballers are just paying lip service to these campaigns because they'd be criticised if they didn't & it's all about their brand
All these players going over there should just say “We’ve come here for the money”
They really must think that the public are stupid.
A bloke on the radio made a good point yesterday. Going to Saudi saying they’re hoping to help promote and build the game in that part of the world, when the largest untapped market can be found in India.
They could go there for a grand a week and play for the Kerala Blasters if the money isn’t the driver behind them.
It’s the absolute nonsense that comes out the mouth of these players.

I've rode some ropey old camels in me timeI'd rather they said 'camel riding is a hobby I just can't do in Europe'
Corrected your post for you.I bet the Saudis are in the Champions League by 2024 as well.

Reduce the number of teams which qualify to a smaller number which would allow smaller or less wealthy countries to host it. I know, it's not going to happen.Thing is though, if no other country bids for it what are FIFA supposed to do?
And before you all jump on me I know countries don't bid because of the spurious selections FIFA have made for World Cup hosts in recent times
But still
How would reducing the number of teams taking part affect who bids to host the tournament?Reduce the number of teams which qualify to a smaller number which would allow smaller or less wealthy countries to host it. I know, it's not going to happen.
My opinion is that the big European clubs will use the disruption of another winter World Cup as the excuse to force through their super league, and will prevent their players from going by being outside of FIFA jurisdiction.
They should just dismiss Saudi's bid on the back of their human rights record & put it out to tender again & invite proposals from countries that don't stone people to deathThing is though, if no other country bids for it what are FIFA supposed to do?

Countries that had the opportunity to bid for it but didn't? Who presumably wouldn't bid for it again on the same basis?They should just dismiss Saudi's bid on the back of their human rights record & put it out to tender again & invite proposals from countries that don't stone people to death
Easy as that
Just let countries that didn't have the opportunity to bid previously bid next time, open the bidding up to European & South American countriesCountries that had the opportunity to bid for it but didn't? Who presumably wouldn't bid for it again on the same basis?
Mate I am with you 100% on not staging a World Cup in a country with Medieval laws like stoning people to death
But unless FIFA can didactically enforce a country to host a World Cup there isn't much they can do
