Duncan responds to Rubie claims over Liverpool split: I should never have trusted my career in your hands

Former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Bobby Duncan has hit back at his former agent Saif Rubie today.

This morning on talkSPORT former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan revisited Duncan's departure from Liverpool with his agent at the time, Rubie.

Duncan has moved to Spanish Third Division Real Balompedica Linense this season.

During the conversation, Rubie defended his role in Duncan's controversial departure from Anfield.

The striker later responded on social media, stating: "You and I both know the truth.

"I didn't have a decision nor say as you took it upon yourself to jeopardise my career and to turn a local lad away from his boyhood club and leave me and my family to pick up all the pieces.

"Not once have I spoken upon this top in '4 years' as it's been my main priority to get my career back on track. But, yet you think you have the right to mention my name on a live radio show.

"The truth will be told by myself when the time is right.

"I should never have trusted my career in your hands. I have learnt my harsh lesson there. And I just pray you have learnt yours as it could ruin another young boy's career.

"And lastly, just to clarify, there was no advising given as you point blank made your mind up, publicly."
