Brendan Rodgers believes Luis Suarez has tarnished the values of the Liverpool Football Club.
The Uruguayan striker is attempting to force a move away from Anfield, with Arsenal waiting in the wings, suggesting that the Reds need honour the agreement that has been put in place regarding his transfer if Champions League qualification last season was unsuccessful.
With that being the case, Suarez now wants out which has irked Rodgers who is a true believer in the ethics of the famous Merseyside outfit.
"We have a standard at Liverpool that I will fight for my life to retain," he said. "There will never be any player or person bigger than the club.
"In terms of the remarks that were made, this is a football club that has always worked in a certain way.
"The Liverpool Way is all about a club with ambition, a club that strives to be the very best, a club that is about commitment. That means that everyone is committed to the cause of fighting for the shirt.
"It's also about dignity and being dignified in how you speak about the club, on and off the field, and it's about unity.
"Those are the four values that run through my mind when I think about Liverpool. Those are the values we will always retain. If anyone steps outside of that standard, I will deal with it. That's something that we'll do."
