I know its not exactly the same but I didnāt choose the University my Dad wanted me to, I didnāt choose a job my Dad wanted me to do and I donāt ask my Dad for advice about what to do next in life.
But if my employer approached me to tell my Dad to stop posting that he wishes I was working at Google instead then Iād probably think if that company was one I really want to be at.
His Dad can say whatever he wants, its irrelevant.
Nothing, but LFC is a global brand with corporate communication experts working on presenting a message of unity and commitment to achieving success. Everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet.
You may not like it, but itās true. If Diaz wants desperately to go and play in Spain thatās fine, but right now, and until the last day of the season, his whole focus should be on performing his best for his current team, manager and fans. Itās a huge task with very little margin for error.
I just donāt see any benefit to that conversation. I expect like our reaction to media rumours that āTrent has told his mates he wants to move to Madridā or whatever that completely ignoring it is the path the club will take.
You can tell Diaz to keep his head in the game, but you canāt try and control his Dad. Heās allowed to say whatever he likes, even if it breaks our little daydream that everyone in South America grows up dreaming of playing for Liverpool over Real Madrid.
If Diaz wants to leave , he can leave for the obligatory 120M + 80M Barca tax. Put up the money or shut up. I think heās a fine player but he isnāt Suarez to feel gutted about.
We canāt āstop himā but we can ensure that he is not livinā large at the ground and that Luis knows heās a fucking embarrassment. Certainly canāt expect to be getting private jets out from Columbia or getting help staying in UK if he canāt at least STFU about wanting to leave.
If Luis Dad is saying stuff in public then he is almost certainly saying the same thing in private. There is no guarantee that he would listen to him in either scenario.
A little chat in his ear and calling his dad an embarrassment, kicking him out of the ground, and retracting support weāve offered the family are two different things.
