Yellow Wal 315 Posted June 29, 2010 If there''s no newsthere the press will find something somewhere.Unfortunately that is the reason Harry Redknapp will never be England manager as the press would love the chance to explore his cupborad full of skeletons.

morty 0 Posted June 29, 2010 To be honest, if the British press feel the need to destroy a player or players in an act of petty revenge for not winning the world cup then it will show them up to be the scum that they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEB (never forgotten) 0 Posted June 29, 2010 A friends relation is working on a news report about Gerrard & his affair with a 16 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted June 29, 2010 This rumour has been doing the rounds for a number of months now, I think the daily mail hinted at it early on with articles about his misses not wearing her wedding ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 498 Posted June 29, 2010 Gerrard and the 15 year old and Alex Curran seeing Kris Commons, heard this a while.Was told at the same time, that Gerrard had been in court to get a gaaging order, and the story could only be released after England got knocked out of the World Cup.

blahblahblah 2 Posted June 29, 2010 Quick question - regardless of the rights or wrongs of the situation - is the Gerrard story in the "public interest" ?How does it benefit anyone to know this information ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion there is scum press but also some scum footballers. It is only the truth that matters, but will we ever know it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,591 Posted June 29, 2010 Have also heard there is a lot about Gerrard (and his wife) to come out post the world cup. I think that this sort of thing and the Terry fiasco affected morale more than we all thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]To be honest mate, I don''t give a flying fig what footballers do with their private lives. People have affairs, it happens every day, it has sod all to do with their ability to kick a ball. If it affects their game its a matter for the manager, if theres an issue regarding the age of the person involved then its a matter for the police.I''m thoroughly bored of the holier than thou British public expecting sports stars to also be saints.

I''m not saying for one moment that Harry has done anything wrong, and would probably like to see him given the chance, but be aware that IF he was ever appointed then the press could and would have a field day as he has been involved in one or two shady deals already according to them.They seem to enjoy destroying anything that could be good for sport in this country as, you see, it sells papers!

He would get away with it initially and for however long we were doing well but eventually it would come back to bite the FA on the backside as the press know masses of stuff about redknapp, they just either can''t quite pin it on him yet or choose not to use it as he is a nice bloke who always has a line for them when they need it. Bit like Linekar really when he had his Mr Clean image. If he was England manager would be a much bigger story and no doubt more incentive for people to drop him in it!
