Read this today, can see why they want Balotelli gone:

Two stories reflect Balotelli’s listless attitude. During training Colin Pascoe, then Liverpool’s assistant manager, gathered the squad in a huddle close to Melwood’s perimeter wall. Thirty or 40 yards away, Jon Flanagan was hobbling by, an injured player facing almost a year on the sidelines. Balotelli started shouting towards him for no apparent reason, “Hey, hey…” interrupting Pascoe’s flow. For that, the Italian was threatened with banishment to the changing rooms.
Later in the afternoon, Balotelli scored a jaw-dropping goal from near the halfway line. Witnesses stood open-mouthed: first-team players shook their heads in disbelief, youngsters smirked nervously at the brilliance in front of them. One problem: the goal was at the wrong end.At 1-1 during a 10 on 10 match, with Balotelli on the weaker team made up of likely substitutes for the weekend’s game at Arsenal as well as teenagers from the academy, he deemed it appropriate to turn around and fire a shot towards Brad Jones. The goalkeeper was helpless. Balotelli thought it hilarious, laughing away by himself in the centre circle.

But none of this is new, its not like he's become like this in the last 12 months.

What I still can't understand is why the 'powers that be' sanctioned his move to us 12 months ago.

I'm not sure who's more idiotic, him or the club for buying him! He wasn't going to suddenly change because he's playing for Liverpool :/

The one who bought him without any doubt. We just went and handed our head to him. simple.
But nothing to take away from the fact BR never played to his strength at all.

The first thing I do Jay when I sit down to breakfast is type into google the word: Liverpool. I did this earlier and came up with the Irish Independents article - that you posted above.
Question: does anyone else open their day in the same manner?

I was shocked just how many were excited by his arrival.

They have obviously never watched football to even judge him as a good player.

Disappointed by the Kop too for singing his name when many players struggle to even gain a pinch of that accolade.
