Is this not a "benefit in kind"? Or paying a manager "off the books".
"LIVERPOOL FC have put Jurgen Klopp’s £4million home up for sale — after his successor Arne Slot turned it down.
The Dutchman and wife Mirjam were shown around the seven-bed home but are deciding on their next move.
The club have now put the gated property on the market — ending a 20-year link.
A source said: “It was identified by the club as an ideal base for incoming managers.
“Arne was offered it when he took over in the summer but has chosen to live elsewhere.
“As a result, the club has decided to cut its losses.”
Ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard bought the home in Formby, Merseyside, in 2005 after it was built by a local developer.
The property boasts three living rooms, a games room, swimming pool, two-storey gym, solarium, jacuzzi, sauna and cinema.
When Gerrard left for US side LA Galaxy in 2015 he sold the house to incoming Reds boss Brendan Rodgers.
He was sacked that October but kept the property and rented it to Klopp.
In 2019 Liverpool bought it as an investment and are said to have allowed Klopp, 57, to stay on rent-free.
The German and wife Ulla were often spotted in a local pub.
Removal vans moved in after he revealed he was stepping down."
