“£15m Gamble on Liverpool Legend Backfires: Steven Gerrard Faces Sack After Admitting to Prioritizing Former Club’s Games”
Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard is on the verge of being dismissed from his role at Al Ettifaq following a disappointing run of results and his surprising admission to scheduling training around Liverpool games. Despite a rough tenure at Aston Villa, where his managerial reputation took a hit, he was once backed by Harry Redknapp as a candidate for the England job—a role ultimately given to Thomas Tuchel.
Currently, Gerrard’s performance in the Saudi Pro League hasn’t improved his standing; his team sits 10th, trailing league leaders Al Hilal by 13 points. According to The Sun, his recent interview with RedmenTV, where he revealed his focus on Liverpool games over team training, may be the final blow, putting his £15.2m-a-year contract and managerial credibility at serious risk.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
