I'm sure City are encouraging him to cause as much fuss as possible, refusing to go on the preseason tour & his refusal to train is all an attempt to force Liverpool's hand. I don’t think so King, they don’t seem like that type of operation these days, in fact they’ve got one of the best ownerships and management in the PL nowadays. They’re quite particular about their public image and they might just walk away from this little [oops]. If they do I wonder who else would want him...might suit Chelsea, but then again they mightn’t want to infest their dressing room either, so we could be stuck with him. It’s a real possibility the way he and his agent are behaving.

The thing is Herc, if City aren't behind it in some way, Sterling seriously risks making them (as well as other clubs) lose interest and can he and his agent both be that stupid? I think we'll have the answer when City do or don't continue to bid. Personally I kinda hope City have encouraged him to behave like a dipshit (and therefore don't lose interest) because surely he's past being able to recover his relationship with the manager and the club here?

Yeah, I hope they are stoking it and come back in for him again too, and for the same reasons as your good self King, but I doubt that they are, Both Sterling and Ward have already shown that they’re both more than capable of this level of stupidity. I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if City do walk away after this latest madness from Sterling and Ward.

The latest is that its not about money but because Sterling has fallen out with BR...if thats the case and city walk away, could BR be the scapegoat and get the chop? Highly unlikely but i won't put anything past FSG and LFC at the moment, everything about the clubs functioning is sneaky, sneaky....it's the only way back in for Raheem that i can seebut i think it would be immensely stupid to let the player win this one. He has to go or get heavily sanctioned if he stays.

First it was about money.
Then it was about London.
Then it was about ambitions for him and the club.
And now it is about BR.
What's next for this little cnut??

It would be PR suicide for FSG to come out on the side of Sterling over the manager right now, even with Rodgers' reputation and stature in as much doubt as it currently is. I think Sterling has truly wiped out any credit he had with the fans, his relationship must be approaching irreparable.

I agree, it would be the worst possible thing they could do, although i could see them doing it and then saying "Oh it has nothing to do with the Raheem situation, we just decided it was best for both interested parties to discontinue our work together. We are very greatful for Brendan's input so far bla bla bla bla"....would be a terrble mess and i don't see it panning out like that, but you gotta ask why is Steeling coming out slating BR now? What is the purpose of those remarks? To lower LFC's asking price? To put pressure on BR to get rid? I really don't see either of those things happening because some ill advised kid is theowi v a tantrum. Remember, we are talking tens of millions of pounds...

He's quickly becoming damaged goods. Buying a 'problematic' player at bargain basement is one thing, having to stake a punt at top money quite another.
If he pushes it another rung I'm not sure City or Chelsea would want to be anywhere near him. Wonder how long it will be before Roy pipes in as well? As an England player I'd say his obligations and expected behavior now sees the needle in the red too.

FSG will not come out and say anything to support Sterling to the detriment of Rodgers. Why would they? There is a new coaching staff in place now so supporting Sterling and possibly sacking Rodgers makes no sense what so ever.
