I don't blame the lad.
Where else would he get paid that amount.
There are loads of countries with the same outlook as KSA, I.e. Qatar, non of the ex players were up in arms about England going there and condoning them.
I certainly can't having worked there.

You, me & the vast majority of the working population don't already get paid £100K plus per week. Plenty of places, America for one, would have jumped at the chance of paying a current England international to play there. |

He's been given the chance for one last big pay deal, I personally don't care it its to Saudi, good luck to the lad. If anyone said to me that they wouldn't go to earn big money if they had the chance and risk upsetting some people, I would question their honesty. |

As I said Mac, we aren't talking about the rank & file. What Henderson already has in the bank is way beyond what the vast majority of us will earn in a lifetime. |

Hear what you're saying mate, but the more you have, the more you want, that's why they are millionaires and billionaires |

Were I offered the opportunity to ensure the future of my family for the next few generations, I confess that I wouldn't think twice.
In Jordan's case, he has been starting fewer games over recent years, and has lost some of the pace and relentless energy that he once had. So he's unlikely to get a second chance at this.
We could try a Poll.
You are in your thirties, and are offered an obscene amount of money to work in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years.
WOULD YOU TAKE THE JOB?

I done it in the 80's when the Saudis were paying big bucks for engineers. For some reason the money they are paying now is rubbish, albeit tax free on certain conditions |

He already has enough money to ensure the future of his family. If future generations are going to waste this legacy it doesn't matter how much you leave them, they'll still waste it.
Not saying you, or anyone else on here for that matter, has pilloried Newcastle but a very large majority of Sunderland fans have. Defending Henderson because "he's one of our own" is no different.
