Liverpool Thread - 2022/23

BBC piece doesn't mention wages. Funny that :)

They do. Just not in the headline.

Mohamed Salah has signed a new three-year contract with Liverpool.

BBC Sport understands the deal - worth more than £350,000-a-week - makes the 30-year-old the highest paid player in the club's history.

£400k a Week

A club and a Manager that don’t buy expensive players, and don’t pay big wages.

I honestly can’t wait for Kloop to try and explain this in a future press conference.

He won’t be asked, and it’ll be under that big fuck off carpet of theirs !

His first sentence will mention us and say we have to pay big wages because city have inflated what players want to get paid...the buck tooth prick.....

Liverpool have had the best out of Salah and his time is up, stupid to give him £400.000 a week for 3 seasons
this is why chasing teams fail and Manchester city keep one step ahead

Manchester city know the value of a player and what he brings to the table, not many demand a wage increase and get it. The player would be out the door at Salah age asking for £400.000 and rightly so

 

[ArdwickAlbert]

Players often have 'highest paid player' clauses in contracts. It doesn't mean they have to be the highest paid player alone but that they will have parity with the one who is. So every Liverpool player with that clause (assuming there are some) will have to get the same salary. That leads to an explosion in wage costs eventually and is money they won't be spending on fees.

Same thing happened at united in 2010, when Rooney supposedly put a transfer request in. The whole affair was a charade to get the Glazers to double the wage ceiling, which is what happened. But not only did the 5 or 6 players with the relevant clause get an uplift, many others wer3 demanding a comparable percentage increase in their (lower) wages.

Alternatively they could avoid that highest paid player issue by loading the signing fee and having a chunk on the end of contract completion. Adds to the pay bill but might not lead to parity claims.

He held them to ransom & they caved.
Would imagine there will be a few players now banging on Klopps door asking for parity

But, they don't spend any money. Only City pay massive wages.... They really are hypocrites.

 

[hello]

Boehringer Ingelheim must have renewed their dipper sponsorship deal and paying salah 50% of his salary in image rights.
Hopefully it’ll start a cycle of parity of % relative parity like the rags and fuck then over for decades
