Just to clarify my view. Edwards left for the reasons ge gave for leaving.
If players are good enough and not suffering repetitive injuries, ie worth tying to new deals, they will be offered deals into their 30s.
So I'll do a new list for you. Players offered new deals into their 30s:-
Henderson
Milner
Salah
VVD
Wijnaldum
Players who decided to leave
Firmino
Players let go due to injury issues
Thiago
Matip
Is this far fetched? Is there anything at all, despite Twatter conspiracies and apparently something Carragher said that goes against both Edwards and the actual new deals? Did Edwards leave because of the hard 30 year old cutoff he wanted to implement when only Milner signed a new contract when 30 or over, when Edwards was in charge of contracts?

Look TOOR, I said there is little to nothing to support it, because there isn’t.
You’ve then posted a load of stuff that is factually incorrect and ended with James Milner being offered a one year extension as the ONLY example. Possibly Wij at a push.
Rather than trying to weasel out if it by trying to move the goal posts and start talking about players being 29, I feel it would be better for you to show a little humility instead and just admit that yes, there’s little to nothing to support the view that no, as a rule, we don’t like to offer players over 30 new contracts.

Ok so did Edwards leave because he gave Milner a new contract?
Embarrassing for you both, squabbling over totally valueless nonsense on the internet. Nobody will win your argument because neither of you are in possession of the necessary facts to conclude it, so now you are just going through a silly little hubris fuelled pantomime which nobody wants to see played out. You should make friends and talk about something you are informed about.
