The latest episode of the Blood Red Podcast is here with Joe Rimmer, Paul Gorst and Theo Squires!
There’s plenty to talk about, following the news that Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and fellow midfielder Fabinho have been subjects to bids from Saudi Arabian clubs.
The trio discuss each individual move, what it would mean both on and off the field, with particular ramifications for club captain and LGBT ally Jordan Henderson transcending sport.

why we they slating jordan for going to saudi and said as immoral do you think lgbtq is morally right
Henderson is entitled to do what he wants and he can still be a good person.. abit too much condemning for my liking.. none of the guys know what the situation is so just chill out, wait and see..
Before same sex marriage was legalized in the UK, were footballers not coming from all over the globe to ply their trade in the English League?
People are saying Henderson 7 TROPHIES best ever not a chance ( STEVE GERRARD IN KLOPPS SIDE WITH PLAYERS WHO ARE WORLD CLASS AROUND HIM SAY SAY NOMORE) KING KENNY DAGLEISH WAS IN THE BEST TO SIDE'S EVER 70 .80S )GERRARD RAFFER.

What are you guys smoking !!??
– Asking why anyone would want more money ? You realise it’s not all about buying new cars or more watches – it’s about supporting and providing for others, family etc. it’s a long time retired !
– 🌈 Rainbow laces ? Do you think his life ambition is to be an LGBTQ advocate? Anyone can stick on a pair of rainbow laces and be an “advocate” for equality. Trying to claim he’s got some wider responsibility beyond that is ridiculously embarrassing.
How about you check your own morals ??
– Bank with Barclays ? Saudi Owned…
– Stay in the Marriott ? Saudi Owned…
– Disney
– Shell
– BP
– Starbucks
– Total
– IBM
– Pfizer
All Saudi owned
Thank you x😊
Caicedo is the perfect option (even though he is overpriced), played with McCalister for 2 seasons, which will make it easier for the midfield to "bed in". Brighton can then get Lavia. If Thiago also leaves, then you go and get Thuram from Nice, midfield rebuild would be complete.
Sell Henderson, Fabinho and if they can take Thiago with them for free let him go, go for Cacido and Thuram and we got a real competitive midfield.
Hold out for 25 and 45 and we aren’t looking bad as long as it’s reinvested
Chelsea also had a lot of instability in the coaching department plus they bought an influx of players in multiple positions so, the situations aren't quite the same.
Oh no no no, dont think for one minute that earning £190k a week is the same as earning £700k and claim 'that Hendo cant possibly need more money'. Many of us average earners dream of a lottery win, footballers including Hendo dream of earning the likes of £700k a week. He's the won the lottery and he's taking it. You just would and I think this is where your average fan struggles with the concept of these big figures because we earn nowhere near it so understand that earning £190k is way more than enough. Its all relative. What Jorden earns to him, Is just an average income for what he does as a job at the level he's playing at and his life reflects his earnings only now he can take things to the next level. Fairplay I say.
And its totally ok for him to move on and leave behind the things he may have been associated with. its perfectly fine to do that, we're all allowed to change direction in life. Someone else will pickup the whole flag waving for the causes role.
I think we should acknowledge that this season will be a transition season for Liverpool, so I would say let Thiago, Fabinho and Hendo go and bring in Valverde from Madrid and really just start afresh, that leaves our midfield with 7 players if I'm right to rotate which are Dominik, Macallister, Valverde, Curtis, Harvey, Stefan, Tyler Morton
Christ man, so what if he doesnt want to do the James MIlner role. Jeeeez. The bloke can do what he wants. Let it go.
Fact is he's going over there to play an easier form of the game for losts of dosh. At 33, I would n all.
These are bitter.
Gents, the name is pronounced Sobo Sly not Sobozly. There is even a clip where he tells you how to pronounce it.
This was a real hard listen these 3 clowns have fallen for all this leftist crap rainbow laces and dropping the knee and their poster boy has just shown you that alot of athletes have to go along with it but actually don't give a rats
Money talks and the Arab states have alot of money
The arrogance of Theo Squires in particular regarding Henderson is outrageous. Henderson's previous work supporting the LGBT is not undone if he goes to Saudi. He can still be a voice for change and compassion – if not through official club channels, then through his own social media posts. Squires sounds like he has totally given up on Saudi ever changing and it's weak – 'ooh it's too hard' attitudes like his that result in nothing ever changing.
No one of my geneartion will have foreseen the break up of the old USSR and fall of the Berlin wall, but it happenend. If attitudes aren't confronted and challenged, these regimes will just prosper – see two world wars for starters. Don't be such a quitter Squires! Have some vision and backbone!
Henderson can also put some of the money he earns there towards further charitable causes, perhaps to migrant worker causes in Saudi or to charities back in the UK, e.g. LGBT and NHS causes.
Did Squires watch any of the recent World Cup in Qatar, which also has similar attitudes to Saudi? I presume Squires did not give it 1 second of his time if he's as principled as he tries to protray. Is he as publically scathing of Gerrard being in Saudi – afterall, it's Gerrard that's persuding Henderson to go there?
Henderson has given his all for LFC since Kenny signed him all those years ago – he's earned the right to make his won decisions without pompous windbags like Squires, Rimmer and Gorst judging him.
If any of those 3 were offered £700k / wk today to take up a football writing job in Saudi for say, 2 years, is anyone seriously telling me Squires, Gorst or Rimmer would turn it down? Do me a favour – they would take it and find a way to justify it. They are scathing of Henderson for considering this move becuase it's the PC thing to do and therefore the easy opinion to give publically. These guys aren't journalists, they're weak minded puppets who play to the gallery – the Henderson section of the podcast was truly pathetic, mainly due to Squires.
What a load of shite , fine for Fabinho but how dare Henderson , this podcast definitely does not represent all Liverpool supporters
100% agree with Joe.
Look at all the talking you just did and no answer to how to replace Fabinho. Its no dilemma; dont sell. The speed with which Liverpool commentators and some fans have turned on Fabinho is really disgusting. The commentators are driving the discussion just so they can sound really know it all. it’s annoying. Elliot has had a season and a half worse than anything Fabinho could’ve ever put up, sell him and his 1 foot.
Henderson can do whatever he likes, none of us ( and especially this clique of know alls ), have any right WHATSOEVER to tell Jordan what to do with his life. He owes none of us, no one, an explanation.
"morals"!!??….Some countries rightly think it's abhorrent & criminal for groups of naked men in codpieces dancing near kids in pride marches. Or men in wigs sharing toilets & changing rooms with little girls. Or the g_ay lifestyle taught in schools as an alternative to normal natural straight heterosexual lifestyle
I agree with a Lot of what is being said here. We can Not let both of them go, So in my view the sensible thing to do is sell Fab for £40, and keep Hendo for at least one more year. I know Klopp doesn't keep players that don't want to be here, But common sense has to kick in… WE lose both player we win Nothing. The Experience that Hendo has will be vital to bed in the two new midfielders. You can't lose Milly and Hendo in the same year…
Liverpool are now looking, even with the new signings, worse than last year.
Hendo’s gone guys for
12million ! !! , we Liverpool fc will get
