This is a huge assumption. Wages for one year as a 17 year old is most unlikely to be the reason - it’s too shortsighted and no one needs a big pay packet age 17. They all get another deal a year later, than another. Owen Beck is supposed to signed one at 17 and another 2 since, all in Less than 18 months. So the pay goes up. The decision is most likely to be based on chances of progression, and one article I read said Klopp had a poor record on that versus the other big clubs. Actually I think they are right. But that probably says more about the historic quality of our academy, and our style of play, and lack of rotation. So we sold Hoever, Brewster, and might have to sell Neco Williams, etc and others like Woodbury and Wilson never really broke through. Just saying mind, would rather have Klopp than any other manager in the world
