Hes a bit part player for Liverpool and England now and how do you know what his finances look like.Surely not..
How rich do you need to be?
Why would you sacrifice- self respect, reputation, legacy, good years of your career, your place in the England squad, playing in probably the best league in the world...just so you can be very very very rich instead of just very very rich?
I've always really liked him too, would be so disappointed if he ends up taking the desert dollar.
33yo making £700k A WEEKSurely not..

I'm sure if someone offered you a lucrative job you would turn it down.
I wouldn't tarnish all players with this brush, but Henderson as an individual has really let himself and others down with this.To be honest this just shows taking the knee and pro lgbt stuff is complete virtue signalling from footballers .
They never did give a **** about this stuff . It was all to look good on social media
True, although they haven’t all gone to Saudi (yet).To be honest this just shows taking the knee and pro lgbt stuff is complete virtue signalling from footballers .

He’s “close to accepting the offer” according to the Athletic. Still has 2 years on his Liverpool deal though so a fee will be involved.Has he actually signed yet?
I can promise that if I was already a muti multi millionaire I would definitely turn down a move to Saudi.And all those having a pop would turn down that kind of money?
Of course not. Hypocrites.

But yuo would go for money. So much for your 'principles'I can promise that if I was already a muti multi millionaire I would definitely turn down a move to Saudi.
They, and Linekar and Neville etc all had the opportunity to 'take a stand' with Qatar and did nowt.Why not?
Is it that hard to believe some people's morals might prevent them agreeing to taking money from a murderous regime like Saudi Arabia?
Particularly if they were already a multi millionaire (admittedly much much harder to turn down if you're not already incredibly wealthy, but that's not the case).
I wouldn't go if I was Henderson. How many tens of millions does need in his bank account?
He and other footballers are in an incredibly privileged position. They could take a stand and set an example. Or they can show any principles they claim to have can be compromised for a price. Up to them, but I think it's fair game to criticise them if it's the latter.
