I’m sure there are plenty of examples of people who do, or at least don’t betray them so wholeheartedly. And it’s much easier for people whose needs are already met to rise above motivations like money. The ‘nobody is guided by morality’ nihilism seems crude at best.
Maybe but this is the word we live in now morals go out the window..... And Money more than ever holds more power and persuasion.
While he may have been on the way down the last couple of years he has played a key role in our success in recent years, so should have secured his place in LFC history. Really disappointed in the way this has ended, his legacy is really tainted (if not destroyed) by this which I for one think is sad to see
All this Legacy tainted is nonsense, Yes he's a hypocrite/double standards but who here would turn down the money on offer? Nobody would, We all preach what's wrong in the world but nobody stays true to their word.

My two pennies, the 2021 contract was a mistake, given age, value and given English legs go a lot earlier than others, aa four year deal was a little extreme, also the way his team used the media left a sour taste, little bit like Sarah also.
TBH, hism minutes were managed last season and this all talk of leaders, given the season we have had came very short is a bit misleading. Cheers Jordan thanks for the memories, wants next ?

I think if I'd make a big noise about social issues and then took the shilling of a regime that were against them I'd do my best to move, if not immediately then at the end of my contract. I'd definitely like to think that if I was minted I wouldn't actively move to that kind of club to become even more minted. That would definitely make me a hypocrite. Having said that maybe the money would change me, like all the books say it does.
Yep. It's easy to criticise. It's not a situation that most of us are likely to find ourselves in.
I think that's alluding to the golf scenario where LIV have taken a massive stake in the sport itself.
If you find yourself in that situation, what do you? Stop playing golf? That is a nightmare tbh.
But also, say you're a Newcastle player in the Mike Ashley era and then you find yourself playing for a state backed team like they have become. Do you ask for a transfer?

The bit I don't understand about that is "their own volition". Surely if you are forced to play in a tournament you don't agree with people get that, but if you decide to do it with nothing compelling you that does make you a hypocrite? Why not just not be a hypocrite at all?
