I think the club freezing season ticket prices is very telling, if we had 3 or 4 top players lined up you could bet your bottom dollar that they'd be hiking the price of those up.
With the stadium rebuild going on as well I don't think there will be any stellar names arriving.

If this club had more ambition than what it currently does under these parasite owners I'm pretty sure Raheem would have signed the $100k a week contract put in front of him.

If we were to put ourselves in his shoes, why would you want to sign a longer deal with a club going nowhere when you could go to another club to win trophies and be paid at a higher rate.

Don't know how this "fabricated outrage" has blinded everyone into painting him to be the sole villan in this sordid saga, market conditions will always dictate what a player's salary is. If we have a problem with him earning that, why don't Manure supporters have a problem with Depay being on 120k a week next season? Or PSG supporters having a problem with Marquinhos being on $110k a week? Both are a similar age to Sterling? 

Sterling epitomises everything wrong with younger footballers today, part of a system created by absurd spiralling market conditions which seem to be the tip of the iceberg with everything wrong between the rich clubs and the rest. 

Had he just kept his mouth shut and played his best and not taken the offer there would not be the anger but he didn't. His play was average at best, he did an interview that was not sanctioned, his agent was talking all kind of sh1t including calling a Liverpool legend, ex team mate and local  boy a Kn0b. How are Liverpool fans supposed to react?? Shake his hand, wish him the best and understand that the team is not big enough for his awesome talent? He is like Thommo said and certainly is no victim. When your agent has authority to talk on your behalf then you have to take it on the chin when it goes pear shaped or fire him.

I would think 25 tops with possibly an add on or two eventually hitting 30 mil.

Didn't City made an offer of 25 million plus 5 add ons? That's decent for a first offer actually, if they're willing to raise that to 35-40 million I'd be more than happy to sell.

He crossed the line and needs to go and that is best for the team,it is that simple. I don't however choose to paint him as the victim in order to have a dig at the manager and owners, I'd say it's you that is allowing your issue with the manager to dictate your position on each issue. My views are balanced

I'm not painting him out to be the victim, he is much of the problem as everyone else involved.

You do understand saying something like "my views are balanced" makes you look like a bit of a dill.

No one's views are balanced, they are opinions after all and they either slide to one side or the other 

What you are really trying to say is "my opinions are right and you are wrong" which sounds just as dumb.

But hey, I wouldn't expect any less from supporters who currently defend the regime we are under.
