RedWhippet:
I’ve never understood the hate for him. There have been games where he has clearly been our best player and yet there is some nitpicking about holding on to the ball too long (presumably looking for the best pass which he will have been coached to do). I have a feeling that some people don’t like any player with an easy to pronounce name or somehow imagine that he is some rando who they picked up off the street in Toxteth.
I gather that he didn’t see eye-to-eye with Slot at times. I am hoping that he will be encouraged to stay with the new coaching team.
There is a small but vocal minority who act like everyone promoted from the academy is some sort of make-a-wish kid who is handed everything and earned nothing.
Simultaneously these same people will then place the most ridiculous expectations on these lads. Jones is written off because he’s not as good as Gerrard, arguably the best player to ever play for the club.

I would not take offense! He is not an above average squad player - he is a squad player.
Being Liverpool through and through? Jay Spearing?
That is no reason to be blind to his weaknesses.
First, you can’t possibly compare Curtis Jones to Jay Spearing and expect to be taken seriously.
Second, no one said that he doesn’t have weaknesses.
He isn’t a problem; he is an asset that we should be looking to retain.
Id like to see Jones stay hes a good squad player
But jones staying depends where he sees himself in the wage structure,
He’s on 50k a week at the moment apparently,
What does he feel his salary be?
Same as VVDs? Or Allison? Maybe Frimpong?
He’s not on £50k a week. The first team wage is reportedly around £150k (if not more now), there is no way he would on a third of that.
And who also complain about lack of depth in the squad but want everyone sold.

Looks like the official Paul Gorst twitter account. I check his official link via Liverpool Echo and it landed on his account with the above post.

I took a look at which articles he published yesterday after the press conference. (As I understand it, there was an embargoed section immediately afterwards.)

Jones is our equivalent of Brown/O’Shea. Should be kept.
