'The club supports mental health but treats their own players poorly': Ex-LFC Women's player Kirsty Linnett slams Liverpool

Former Liverpool Women's player Kirsty Linnett has spoken out regarding her poor treatment at the hands of the club.

The former Red had her contract offer retracted and the way the club conducted themselves is what ticked her off.

She took to social media to express her disappointment, saying: "My time at Liverpool has come to an end... I have seen a lot of similar experiences to what I have experienced below in women's football recently.

"Something needs to change, people need to be treated better, it's not good enough.

"It would have been nice if someone from the club had the decency to tell me that they were retracting the contract offer they'd previously sent my agent.

"I felt that after three years the least I deserved was a face to face meeting the moment they knew they wanted to let me go.

"Instead of calling my agent, telling him and then asking him to decide whether to tell me or the club call me!

"It's also sad that this situation was only brought to light after my agent had emailed the GM to further the negotiations.

"Football is football but where does this stop? I've no hard feeling with being let go, it's part of the game.

"What upsets me is the club support campaigns for mental health yet treat their own players with such little regard and respect.

"Let's hope clubs can do better by their players during these difficult times and act with more care for the people involved as manners and morals cost nothing."

Liverpool have been criticized for their poor treatment of the Women's team a number of times and this is another new low for the club.
