Danny Rose, mouthing off about not being paid enough/getting the recognition he deserves (er, he is first choice Left Back for the runners up....when he's FIT..and he's a bit of a sicknote).
Philipe Coutinho throwing a strop and trying to force a move from a club where HE chose to sign a (no doubt extremely lucrative) contract until 2022. He's effectively their star player. The team is built around him.
Two examples of why the game I have loved all my life continues to pi55 me off more and more.
And why I really enjoy watching (top level) Rugby these days. Big competitive barsterds, COMPETING, not cheating, not throwing their toys out of the pram, not sulking. |  | | |  |

So if you were playing for the current Liverpool team and Barcelona came knocking you wouldn't be interested in a move? Would be bonkers not to think about it as a step up.
I guess you don't watch too much top class rugby if you believe there's no cheating. What do you think they are doing when they deliberately knock on, stand in offside positions, obstructions etc. Not to mention "bloodgate". |  | | |

Rose is the England left-back and could double his wages and more if he moved. Spurs' policy is a noble one but it can't work long term. |  | | |

Treat it like any normal job and I don't see they are doing a lot wrong.
You are one of the best performers in your *insert office job* and another position comes up with a better opportunity and more money. You have no real loyalty to your job after working there a few years, and this would be a great step up. Then your manager tells you you can't go and you have to stay at your job and carry on like nothings happened. Going to be a bit miffed.
Expenditure in football is crazy but its not the players fault, and they are tehnically just treating it like any other job, which then gets bad mouthed by the media. |  |

Danny Rose is a gobsh1te.
These players want it both ways. They want the security of a long-term contract, but don't want to be bound by the terms of the contract i.e. When another club comes calling they forget they willingly contracted themselves to their existing club.
If Danny Rose felt he was being under-valued he shouldn't have signed the contract and sacked his agent. He should have negotiated a shorter contract so that he could re-negotiate more regularly. But of course he wouldn't have got the security should he get injured or see his form dip. Better to sign the contract and then whine about how hard done-by he is. Tool. | |

England full back? Sign him up for £54,000,000 and give him £150,000 a week.
Oh that's the other one, the one that isn't a whinging sicknote. |  | | |

When I said cheating I meant what football calls 'simulation'.
You know, faking it, rolling around dramatically, falling over in a way that dishonestly suggests momentum-ending impact ("oh he's 'entitled' to go down there, fckoff whatever happened to the art of riding a challenge?); feigning something to get someone else in trouble...ANYTHING to try to gain ANY sort of advantage.
You know, fckn cheating.
I know when players do it. Players know when to do it. I know when our players do it. It doesn't make it right. | | | |

And I know 'it's a job' (er it's a game, ultimately, so it's different to a job), and I know that people will follow the money (important to guard against scraping by on £130 grand a WEEK); but I also welcome some other comments on here.
There are ever more numbers of dick'eads playing football, and Danny Rose is a nob, and many footballers are shameful creatures.
I hope that some are held to the contracts THEY sign more often.
They're not hard done by.
They will NEVER know hardship. They'll still moan though, and get national/international press as a soapbox too.
Modern day cnts.

I know it's in the Sun... However as Levy hasn't bought anyone and everyone knows they got 54 million for Walker... Are they about to blow up.

These players are not working in salaried positions like standard office workers though are they. They have signed fixed term contracts on big money, these particular players have signed new contracts when they have already been on big money for years so presumably they have agents that are also earning big money specifically to look after their interests.
if you havent incorporated a release clause in your contract that gets you out when a better offer comes along then you have to look to yourself and your agent for the reason why and just suck it up like people in the real world.
Call me mental but i would also expect a modicum of loyalty from a member of staff that was one of my top earners and i had employed for a number of years after giving them an opportunity in the first place |  | | |

I read that as the scummy Sun patting itself on the back after publishing the interview the day before. I doubt he's the most popular man at Spurs at the moment - I actually hope he isn't.
Rose is quoted as knowing what he is worth. He doesn't, because if he isn't content with around £65,000 a week, he knows nothing. He should be on his knees in gratitude on a daily basis, not scratching around in a jealous strop.

Shows how far football has moved on from the miserly days of previous England left-backs plying their trade in North London, and being expected to mend and make do with meagre £5,000 per week wage rises.
A mate of mine runs a charity in Islington, providing basics like food, shelter and mental health counselling for young me who, through circumstances beyond their control, fall on hand times. She said, after the last human rights abuse of north London left-backs; when they were basically told that were expected to play for free, one victim attended her centre utterly broken!
Couldn't feed himself and his wife, the latter having known extreme poverty due to being hatched in the north-east of England. She was reduced to turning tricks out at Heathrow to try and get money to fuel her beau's Lambourgini. Poor sweet couple, reduced to that! Imagine if it were your brother or sister, how would you feel? Have some compassion and basic human decency some of you!
The problem is that while these jackasses are technically right and not breaking the law, when millions of people are struggling just in the UK, you do not moan that you're only on £65k per week!! |  |

And clubs and fans don't want it both ways? Player signs contract. Player not deemed good enough. Player then lambasted for 'sitting on his contract' and refusing to bow to the club and move somewhete else. Or, player does well, bid comes in, club agree to sell, player refuses, player then called greedy for waiting til contract runs out so he can demand a higher wage and bigger signing fee.
Sometimes, the hypocrisy from fans and clubs is astounding. If a player is good, he has to honour the contract. If he's not, he's a waster bleeding the club dry. By asking for a transfer Coutinho is at least waiving what he's owed by Liverpool, which rhey'd have to pay if he was sold against his will, so it's the best deal for liverpool. |  |

You're tarring everyone with the same brush. Fans are a collection of individuals not a single entity. If the club is stupid enough to give ridiculous contracts it's the club's fault, don't blame the player for collecting what he's contractually entitled to. Both parties are (or should be) bound by the contract. This is one player wanting to walk away from his contractual obligations because he has a better option and another moaning that his contract is not lucrative enough when nobody was holding a gun to his head when he signed it.
The difference is that, ultimately, the player can effectively down tools and engineer a move. On the other hand the club has to honour it's commitment whether it likes it or not. World of difference. | |

Your initial post said you enjoyed watching rugby more because they don't cheat, which obviously isn't true. If you don't class a player feigning a blood injury by chewing on a blood capsule as "simulation" then I don't know what you'd call it. | | | |
