Happy to report Mr. Lawton was torn to shreds in the comments section on both Twitter and apparently in the comments section of the article on the Mail's website.
Even happier to report it wasn't just City fans backing Sterling, it was across the board condemnation for this piece from fans of all clubs, yes them lot too and yes that other lot aswell.

Great minds! Hadn’t seen this was the same link before I posted abovehttps://www.tifofootball.com/video/...ned-raheem-sterling-is-better-than-you-think/
There seems to be quite a bit of support for Raz across the media today - even on the BBC HYS's!
This cannot be allowed to drag on all season or we will have another Milner situation on our hands. A player hunting (weakly) at ‘commitment’ to the club and ‘sure things will work out’ but essentially seeking to squeeze the club for a massive increase whilst (secretly) not really being bothered because in the end the enormous signing on bonus that comes with a free transfer is a juicy prize.
I have been a huge supporter of Sterling in the face of the vitriol he faced after his departure from Liverpool. If he stiffs City I will be unamused and he will, sadly, have proved his critics right. They slagged him off for his engineering of the exit from Liverpool, they will lap it up if there is a repeat.
He still has a lot to learn and surely Pep is best placed to continue to improve him as a player. If he fails to see that then more fool him.
Another player whose agent has an eye for one prize only? The size of his cut in any deal.
I always felt that with his stock running high on the back of City’s scintillating season he should have settled these contract negotiations before the WC. Pinning your hopes (or perhaps his agents) on being able to leverage a better deal based on potential performances is a flawed strategy & one which I believe has failed for other players.
Far better to base them on actual evidence of how you have performed. If this was the advice he took then it was a mistake.
