Mad really. You'd sit it out until the summer surely. Gerrard likely to be sacked (that's guesswork but things aren't going well), use that as the smokescreen to do one, and leave with a bit of credibility intact and untold wealth banked.

Saudi clubs are notorious for this kind of shit, he won’t see any of that money.
Ruined his image for free.
Maybe Gareth has had a word with him? England place in jeopardy for the euros?

Champagne socialist, hope he doesn’t receive a penny.
bluer than bluesPlaying in front of 7,000 fans on average apparently. He could potentially have won the PL this season...
Did Liverpool want to keep him?

There’s no such thing as a champagne socialist. Having money doesn’t preclude you from wanting equality.

There most definitely is, and whilst I agree with the last sentence, being a celebrity and virtue signalling to all of your followers whilst doing the exact opposite is a prime example of being a Champagne Socialist.
IE; trying to be a spokesperson for a certain group whilst moving to a country, for money, that prohibits that group.
Secondly trying to not pay any taxes which largely fund social equality programs.
Chrispay tax to who?
Would've been the UK government as he'd have paid tax on his worldwide income as he meets the criteria for being classed as a UK resident.
You may be resident under the automatic UK tests if:
you spent 183 or more days in the UK in the tax year
your only home was in the UK for 91 days or more in a row - and you visited or stayed in it for at least 30 days of the tax year
you worked full-time in the UK for any period of 365 days and at least one day of that period was in the tax year you’re checking
Henderson may be a massive hyprocrit, but AFAIK he's never claimed to be a socialist.
And QB is right, there is no such thing as a champagne socialist, its just a tired old trope used by the hard right to denigrate anyone they don't like. Pretty much like how the word 'woke' has because so meaningless due to it's usage by those entirely constructed of pork products.
Ok to refer to people as gammon but draw the line at champagne socialist
Weird world
And completely hypocritical, agreed.
Greetings from a winter being spent in Thailand btw. 😂

Somehow Gerrard has just had his deal extended.
All very strange

Yep, totally hypocritical.
Also, while Champagne socialist has become a cliche used by the rightists, it absolutely is a thing.
Paying lip service to those worse off whilst at the same time trying to avoid paying the taxes that would go towards helping them, is a fine example, imho.
As is wintering in exotic climes while the rest of us freeze our tats off, btw 😜
I’m glad my taxes contribute towards his winter allowance, he deserves a bit of warmth managing this place 😂
