Liverpool FC News: Nathan Eccleston Gets Media Buzz in Absolute Worst Way

Most software employs a pop-up that asks you if you are sure before you do something drastic like deleting a file. Twitter really needs to have the same pop-up before a post is submitted, at least for athletes it should. 

Nathan Eccleston is hoping to make headlines one day. The Merseyside reserve can only bide his time on a star-studded Liverpool club that is flush with forwards. 

On Sunday, America remembered the fateful day ten years ago that took thousands of lives in a senseless act of terrorism. 

Eccleston chose that day to tweet a senseless post that was quickly derided, and is now being investigated. 

The 20-year-old reserve striker tweeted, "I aint going to say attack don't let the media make u believe that was terrorist that did it. #O.T.I.S. ['Only The Illuminati Succeed']"

The tweet has since been deleted, but was posted on an ESPN report. The report also states that Liverpool is taking the tweet seriously, so much so that they are still investigating the matter. 

A spokesman for the club was cited by ESPN as saying: 

"

"The club takes this matter extremely seriously and senior club officials have informed Nathan Eccleston that we are undertaking an investigation into the circumstances surrounding these postings and will decide on an appropriate course of action."

"

If you read between the lines, the club will sit Eccleston down and ask him what the hell he was thinking. After which, they will examine if they need a PR blight on their roster. 

Liverpool has eyes for the top of the table. A stumble to Stoke City did not help their cause last weekend. 

The last thing they need is a reserve player spouting off, exacerbating a tenuous situation at Anfield. If I were Eccleston, I would continue to train hard, remain silent and stay clear of my Twitter account for a while.
