MrDuck Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Gerrard played more part in Alonso leaving than Benitez, wasnt his tapping up of Barry then Alonso wouldnt have wanted to leave the clubthe man really is a horrible egomaniac who never blames himselfI'd forgotten about that!

BOF Posted September 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2015 Just to clarify. Players can't tap up other players. Only clubs (managers, chief execs) can. And a player saying it doesn't make the club guilty. That would have to be proven. It should probably be looked into though I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It can't have been Rafa. He's the best manager the world has ever seen and everyone else's opinion is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2015 Things just got real. El-Hadji Diouf has made a racist allegation against Steven Gerrard in response to the above article.Trying a short link but the wonderful 'link' link is not playing ball so here's a long one - http://www.joe.ie/sport/el-hadji-diouf-makes-a-very-very-serious-allegation-against-steven-gerrard/512011El-Hadji Diouf makes a very, very serious allegation against Steven GerrardEl-Hadji Diouf has accused Steven Gerrard of racism.Diouf claims that he warned Mario Balotelli against joining Liverpool as Gerrard 'never liked black people.'"We all saw how he made life difficult for Mario Balotelli at Liverpool. I warned him. Liverpool isn’t a team that accepts black people unless they are English," Diouf told Portuguese radio station Radio Future Média."It’s common knowledge. Gerrard has never liked black people. When I was at Liverpool, I showed him I was black, that I wasn’t English, but that I'm no pushover. All the time I was there, he never dared looked me in the eye.”The one-time Liverpool 'striker' was responding to Gerrard's criticism of him in his autobiography, in which the LA Galaxy player said: “I don’t really want to waste time thinking about El Hadji Diouf but it’s worth highlighting his wasted seasons at Liverpool as an example of how it can all go wrong."“Gerard Houllier, a very good manager and a usually wise judge of character, signed Diouf in the summer of 2002. Gerard bought Diouf for £10m from Lens - solely on the recommendation of his former assistant, Patrice Bergues, who had coached Diouf there.“I understood why Gerard rushed through the signing, but he did not really know Diouf as a person. He was one of three new signings which were meant to turn Liverpool into Premier League champions.“It seemed to me that Diouf had no real interest in football and that he cared nothing about Liverpool. For example, the way he spat a huge globule of gunky phlegm at a Celtic fan in a UEFA Cup match at Parkhead in March 2003 summed up his contemptuous and spiteful demeanour.“A few people have since asked me if I saw any comparison between Diouf and Mario Balotelli - and I’ve always said no. I’ve got respect for Balotelli; I’ve got none for Diouf." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
