Here is how Nathaniel Clyne's move is being treated. Try as I might, I couldn't find any opinion piece about how the move could go sour, how he might want to develop at the Saints etc. This was the extent of the reporting.
Now let's have a look at Raheem Sterling:
This is completely demented behaviour. Liverpool have the most co-ordinated media cheerleading squad I have ever seen,
The Mirror alone basically a revolving door of articles from David Maddock, Kenny Dalglish, Michael Owen, Brian Reade, Martin Lipton etc. taking it in turns to pat him on the head one week and brand him a greedy traitor the next.
Then Rodgers has the temerity to turn around and say this:
What media rules? They evidently don't have any, they are the most unrestricted, unregulated force in football journalism, basically the sporting equivalent of Kathy Bates in Misery. They don't even know what they think themselves either, just letting their opinions ebb and flow in whatever way best keeps the delusion intact.
