That was awkward as fuck 
I guess you havenāt seen Low yetā¦
Yeah, Jordan ātreasure-diggingā is very insignificant in comparison to Joachim who was caught multiple times on live TV; including during the World Cup 2010, 2014 & 2018 and Euro 2016 & 2020. He even put the offending digit to his mouth at times. Yucks!
As for being hand-shaken right after such acts, CR7 was a victim too.

Yeah no, sorry Hendo lad but you sold out for the money, plain and simple, deluded if you think you still have a chance playing for England. Have you even learned the names yet of any of your team mates? No, I donāt mean Dembele or Quaison.

Tbf you donāt need Jordan to admit it to know that, just ask anyone.
Interestingly wasnāt asked on anything about the backlash he received, you wouldāve thought thatād have been at the forefront of any sensible journoās mind to ask.

I think something needs to have happened, before we can forget it. I do not recall Henderson playing silly buggers with his contract renewal 2 years ago or threatening to quit. In fact, I have only ever known Henderson to be the ultimate professional.
He wanted a longer contract offer, which I can fully understand. I can also understand the clubās reluctance to offer a longer contract.
Allegedly, Klopp intervened supporting a longer contract. The Salary never changed!
I apologise if I have misunderstood your last comment. However, it comes across a bit contradicting. You state that he āwas put on a pedestal he didnāt deserve to be onā and then follow it up with āthat leads to added disappointment when things like this occurā. So, to clarify, you are disappointed that a player you believe played silly buggers over a new contract, that he wasnāt worthy of, has jumped off his undeserved pedestalā¦
Mate, I donāt care. Heās a gimp.
What culture is that then? The executions, severing of limbs, stonings. Iām sure the children will appreciate that.

I stayed out of any discussions/debates regarding the departures of Henderson and Fabinho.
For a player who has won everything thatās possible to win with an English club, getting excited about playing in Saudi Arabia sounds just cynical.

Ornstein: Why did you choose the Saudi offer? Did you have other opportunities? Because I think many people will be wondering what the captain of Liverpool was doing considering that move.
Henderson: Iām at the latter stage of my career and I want to be happy playing football. I want to play. I donāt want to be sitting on the bench and coming on for 10 minutes in games. And I knew that would have an effect on my chances of playing for England.
Ornstein: Does that value extend to monetary? Because thereāll be so many people who will hear you say, āI want the challenge and the project and Stevie and the excitementā but still say āhe has just gone for the moneyā.
Henderson: That was the hardest thing. People will see this club come with loads of money and heās just gone, āYeah, Iām going.ā When in reality that just wasnāt the case at all. People can believe me or not, but in my life and my career, money has never been a motivation. Ever. Donāt get me wrong, when you move, the business deal has to be tight. You have to have financials, you have to feel wanted, you have to feel valued. And money is a part of that. But that wasnāt the sole reason. And these possibilities came up before money was even mentioned.
Crafton: Itās been pretty widely reported figures like Ā£700,000 a week or four times what you were earning at Liverpool. Is that true?
Henderson: No. I wish it was (laughs). No, honestly, the numbers just arenāt true. But again, it had to work out for us financially as well. Iām not saying that it didnāt and Iām not saying, āOh, Iām not on good moneyā because itās good money and it was a good deal but it wasnāt the numbers that were reported. No.
Crafton: So youāre saying that Steven, in all the conversations you had with him, was never mentioning the money to you?
Henderson: Stevie never mentioned money. Everything I spoke to Stevie about was football and the project. And he actually said he didnāt want to get involved in any of the money stuff. It was all about what we could do together to achieve something special and build a club and build the league.
Henderson: Every day. It was a difficult time, definitely. Donāt get me wrong, I donāt want people to feel sorry for me. It was just difficult to make that decision. Iād been at a club for so long, a club that I love and have a lot of respect for the fans, the owners, the manager, my team-mates ā to leave my team-mates was a big thing. But in the end, I felt as though it was the right thing for them as well. But from the outside and people who donāt know me, then itās a lot more challenging to understand. There can be a lot of criticism, a lot of negativity around me as a person. And that was difficult to take. But I just feel as though, because I do care about different causes that Iāve been involved in, and different communitiesā¦ I do care. And for people to criticise and say that Iād turned my back on them really, really hurt me. Crafton: When you say you were having those second thoughts, what were they about? Henderson: Everything. About the situation with the LGBTQ+ community and with everything that is being reported in Saudi, my family, footballing decisions, team-mates. And again, Iām not just saying this for people to think, āOh yeahā¦ā Iām just trying to give you some insight into what it was like. I spoke to so many different people that I trust, who know me, who will challenge me.
Crafton: What was it therefore, that persuaded you? What reassured you?
Henderson: I think there was always going to be criticism regardless of what I did, whether I stayed, whether I went. So basically I had to make the decision on what was best for me and my family. So the football is the football side. So do I go somewhere to try something new, to grow the game that I love in another country, and grow the league into one of the best in the world? That excites me because I want to grow the sport all over the world. And that got me going, really. And obviously the LGBTQ+ community. I can understand the frustration. I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say around that is that Iām sorry that they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they have asked for my help. Now, when I was making the decision, the way that I tried to look at it was I felt as though, by myself not going, we can all bury our heads in the sand and criticise different cultures and different countries from afar. But then nothingās going to happen. Nothingās going to change.
Crafton: So I would press you on that, because we were told that around the World Cup in Qatar. You go, you engage. But I was there in Qatar walking down the street one day and saw a flag draped with a rainbow symbol crossed out, with the words that said, āNot welcome in Qatar.ā Then supporters were trying to go into the stadiums and they were having rainbow T-shirts taken off them. There was a story about one person being stripped down even and having it taken off them by a security guard. So I suppose Iād ask: have you actually seen or heard any evidence of this change on this specific issue?
Henderson: Firstly, Iām not a politician. I never have been and never wanted to be. I have never tried to change laws or rules in England, never mind in a different country where Iām not from. So Iām not saying that Iām going there to do that. But what Iām saying is people know what my values are and the people who know me know what my values are. And my values donāt change because Iām going to a different country where the laws of the country might be different. Now, I see that as a positive thing. I see that because, from their (Saudi) side, they knew that before signing it. So they knew what my beliefs were. They knew what causes and campaigns Iāve done in the past and not once was it brought up. Not once have they said, āYou can do this, you canāt do this.ā And I think it can only be a positive thing to try to open up like around Qatar. In the end, around Qatar, having a World Cup there shined a light on certain issues where I think in the end, I might be wrong, but they changed some rules and regulations to be able to host the World Cup and I think thatās positive. Thatās the way you try to create positive change. And Iām not saying that I can do that. Iām one person.
