There are worse ways to pass fifteen years of your working life. I'm sure almost all of us are very aware of that.

Those with ambition would like to end there career with medals and memories of nights like Istanbul not a pay check that keeps them for life.

Alas the last thing ive said seems to be what players today look for

Just what Keane at Sunderland said recently, the first thing any player says these days is "what's the financial package" rather than "what can you do for me?" or "what I can do for you"

[thesilverfoxlfc]

I think players resign themselves to the fact there not good enough to make the top teams to win medals so all they look for is the most money they can have so that they will be looked after when they finish

To be fair, probably 99% of footballers will win nothing of note during their careers and I would have thought a decent percentage will never earn enough for them to retire from the rat race after retiring from football. I can't really blame any lower league footballer looking for a decent pay packet. They won't ever see nights like those we have seen in Instanbul or Dortmund.

[ronan]

potter was/is a decent footballer
just not good enough for us
hes good on the ball
just lacks pace and he really does need to bulk up a little

[alunevans]

[alunevans]

Top man and good luck to him.

Darren Potter insists he bears no grudges against Rafael Benitez after bringing his Liverpool career to an end this month.
Potter, who came through the club's youth ranks, signed a permanent deal with Wolves last week after accepting he was never going to make the grade at Anfield.

But instead of complaining about a lack of first team chances, the Republic of Ireland born midfielder admits he just wasn't of the required standard to make the breakthrough under Benitez.

"I would have liked to stay at Liverpool for the next 10 to 15 years but you have to be realistic," he said.

"I was there for six years and my chances were limited, but that's because of the quality of players they have there. Reality kicked in and told me I wasn't going to make it.

"I'll be 23 this year and I need to be playing games. I could have been waiting my whole career at Liverpool to get my chance. It gradually dawned on me.

"I was involved in a few big European nights thinking: 'this is great and going really well'. Then the following week I'd be nowhere to be seen.

"You need to be in that Premiership squad of 16-18 players every week. You only have to look around the dressing room. For me to dislodge players like Gerrard, Alonso and Sissoko would have been so difficult. All those local born players who left will say they had a fair crack of the whip. Rafael Benitez gave us all a good go at it.

"I have no regrets. I have had a good football education under Steve Heighway at the youth academy. We have been brought up in the Liverpool way and we know it is the right way."

Fantastic line.

Good luck to him. Although he's not good enough for us, he seems to have the right attitude and should be a success at Wolves.
