Arsenal legend: Liverpool are living proof there is no loyalty in football anymore

Thierry Henry believes there is no loyalty in football after Liverpool sacked Brendan Rodgers

THIERRY HENRY claims Liverpool's decision to sack Brendan Rodgers proves there is no loyalty in football anymore.

 

Rodgers was relived of duties after the club's 1-1 draw with Everton in their last Premier League game and the club wasted no time in replacing him with Jurgen Klopp.

Henry found out about the news live on Sky Sports and footage of him grabbing fellow pundit Jamie Carragher's leg has been circling the internet.

The Arsenal legend concedes he was not surprised to hear the news but admits to being shocked at the way it was handled.

"Everyone knows I was surprised that Liverpool decided to sack Brendan Rodgers – footage of me grabbing Jamie Carragher's leg is all over the internet," he wrote in his column for The Sun on Sunday

"But what shocked me was not so much the decision to change manager but the timing of the announcement.

"In this day and age, as soon as people talk about a club sacking its boss, it happens.

"There is no such thing as loyalty in football anymore."

Rodgers could make a quick return to management after his Anfield axing as reports suggest he is being lined up by Aston Villa.

Tim Sherwood is under pressure at Villa Park after their stuttering start to the season and The Sun claim he will be sacked if he fails to win any of the next two matches.

It is claimed Rodgers is the man they will turn to in that event.
