Of course he deserves every penny of it... You need to pay the top bucks sometimes when it comes to the world's best players. People getting their knickers in a twist about retaining one of the top 3 players in the world, need to get a sanity check

You know the world is fucked when people state a player deserves £1.4 million a month for running around a field with a ball.

In the context of football, ignoring the ridiculousness of all that, then it's a fair thing to say.

Anyone expressing mixed feelings about keeping one of the top 3 players in the world should be booted from the forum for singularly lowing the collective IQ of us all down to single digits.

Mirror article today saying that Salah's base salary is not outside the boundaries of current squad wages. The figure of 350k is achievable with bonuses associated with appearances & success.

I'd have thought something along the lines of 350k per year if previous years' form is repeated, possibly more if he had another golden year like his first. or we won the Champions League or the Premier League.

I think with Bobby's previous contract he was on a fairly low base and received large bonuses per goal. I think about 25k for the first five of the season, 45k each for the next 5, then 65k for each of 5, and finally 85k per goal..

It's a huge amount of money and just shows how far we've come as a club that we are now willing and able to pay these type of wages. That said all these type of numbers for chasing a ball around a field whilst the normal Joe or Jane struggles to decide between eating or heating and make ends meet is sickening.


Are we not part of the problem? As we will still pay for the tickets to fill the stadiums.

 I know it’s not the same as the hardships many are suffering in these difficult times, but the amount of people that decide to sacrifice things so they can still go to the footy and therefore allowing clubs and players to be able to pay/earn such amounts. I know a lot of it comes from Tv deals but full stadiums still make these demands on players salaries Happen!

Until it’s noticed on the terraces, nothing is going to change! Which of course it’s not anyway, so these BIG salaries are here to stay.

As said before many times….footy (or sport in general) is no longer for the average Jo (or Jane) but for whoever decided they can afford to go and watch such a sporting spectacle. There lyes  the problem

Sorry about the comment as really this is not the right place for such a discussion!!!

Damn you ain't fucking around Craig :D

People whining need to be thinking back to his 'Olympiakos moment' when he did that vital goal by sending Kalidou Koulibaly and the whole Napoli defence up onto the Anfield Road end.

I'm sure our succession planning incorporated a sensible strategy for the similarly aged front three, which probably looks like: sell one, retain one and let one walk on a free (unless the wage reduces). Given that left-footed players are harder to come by and Salah is the arguably the best player in the world, it makes sense for him to be the one who is retained. If you're not delighted by this news and the joined-up thinking behind it, it probably says more about you.

It's just fucking stupid though. We're football fans, and it's not our money, so why the fuck would you sit and complain about them getting maybe £50k more a week of money which isn't yours, when all it means is you get to watch one of the best footballers in the world currently, one of the best to ever play for this club, for another 3 years.

Like I get having an interest in the business side of things, I do too, but ultimately don't let that muddy what it is you support the club for, which is the football out on the pitch.

Obviously seeing the world the same way as you for the most part, but the way my head gets around it is to think of the whole income of the club per year, which can be divided up in to each match played, even though some are worth more than others. Either way, the amount per game is between 3 and 4 million, and we have had plenty of months with 8 or even more games. None of that happens without the best players, or rather it slowly creeps down if you don't have the best players. Look what the red Mancs are doing, paying out more than us to deliver mediocrity. Mo still gets less than several of their players if he plays his arse off. If he doesn't he gets paid less. If he earns the full amount we are winning stuff. If we don't pay the cost of being boss, someone else will.

I agree with your sentiments about Salah being well worth the new deal from a value for revenue standpoint, it was just that you delivered it in a funny manner ;D

Mixed feelings. Obviously glad that Salah stays, but it seems to me we have sold a player(Mane) to make it happen. So Salah really couldn’t live with earning a couple of hundred thousand pounds a week and effectively sent Mane out the door. And yes, I know…it’s the market and you could say that Salah «deserves» to be paid what his worth compared to other players in the league. But that’s part of the problem. Clubs like Man City has inflated the market so much that players are now not happy earning ridiculous amounts of money per week. They earn more than enough, but it all becomes relative when average players like Sancho and Lingard earns more per week than regular people earn in many years.

As I said, I’m glad Salah stays. At the same time, it seems to me that things like this prevents us from doing other stuff when it comes to transfers. Hope it’s worth it. Maybe it is.
For goodness sake.  ;D

Not much is made these days on ticket sales, we haven’t had a price increase in years after the walkout and I can’t see any increases anytime soon either with the price increases everywhere. It’s all about tv and sponsorships increases now.

Brilliant news. Is there any better wide forward in the world? Salah (and Bobby Mane) transformed our forward line into the best in Europe……maybe the best in the world. Keeping Mo for another 3 years is great news. We want to see more players like Mo and VVD etc.

As for Neville…….what an utter Manc prick. He would have creamed himself to have Salah at United instead of the overpaid dross that they have. What a bitter twat of a man who lives in the past.

Anyway fuck it, lets get going next season and batter everyone in front of us with one of the best players in the world in our team, surrounded by some of, if not the best in the world into their positions

The cork is out the bottle though, and it's not like even if the club took a stance on "only" paid a max of £100k a week to it's players that we'd then suddenly see ticket prices drop, shirt costs come down, and Sky cut their sub fee in half.

So ultimately we can't look at Salah's new deal and judge it by that.

Very well could be that we were only going to renew 1 of mane or salah - and now that Sadio has made it known that he wants out - we can make the effort for Mo?


My hope anyway.

Not quite on point - but this is why I thought there was a chance that this was going to happen.

Didn't think it was going to be a short extension though - but might be one that works for both sides.

It seems in the interim that Sadio wanted to go for a new challenge (and maybe the guaranteed money) and that Salah and LFC were going to try until the end to make the extension work.

As Jack said and others yesterday - we have Salah in ideally top condition for 3 years - and each side can decide what to do there after - Salah may go to a slower league at the point and still make a ton of money (and get old on their dime).

It’s a pretty major statement too. For all the world it looked like journos would be able to write about how we’ve again failed to hold onto our best player when others came sniffing, and then whack.

Is that the best he can come up with?

Getting played is re-signing a washed up Ronaldo, offering Paul Pogba stupid money to stay and extending the contract of Phil Jones.

I'm one of the people who was concerned about blowing the wage structure, but even I admit that if there's a player worth stretching things for it's Mo Salah. Maybe Gary should have a word with Barcelona on what it's like for a club to get absolutely rinsed to the point of bankruptcy by their star player.

That contrast and comparison is a feature length film in the offing. If I had a week of Mo's wages, I'd make it myself. If I had a week of Messi's wages, I'd get some other twats to do all the hard work.

I could understand these reactions if Salah got something like Messi or Mbappe, like 1M per week, but thats not the case. If VVD would resign he would get 250-300 k, and Salah is getting slightly more. As he should.

It's a huge amount of money and just shows how far we've come as a club that we are now willing and able to pay these type of wages. That said all these type of numbers for chasing a ball around a field whilst the normal Joe or Jane struggles to decide between eating or heating and make ends meet is sickening.

Difference between Salah getting big bucks in comparison to someone like Lukaku is that Mo has earned his massive wages by what he's done on the pitch for LFC. That useless lump that's just gone back to Inter has stolen a living throughout his career. In relation to what the other top clubs are paying much inferior players, I'd say that our man deserves every penny.

The guy literally said "I’m glad Salah stays". You can't really speak of dumbing down when you've just deliberately reduced and mischaracterised their thoughts into that summary, to be fair

I didn't quote anyone, so who is "the guy" you refer? It was a general comment to address a plethora of posts which expressed mixed thoughts due to some weird fascination with wages and/or wage structures.

Salah is finally getting a rest, and now we can look forward to a season where he can focus on club football.
No AFCON.

Also, Salah signing now means no more contract rumours, and I think that will do him well on the pitch. All of the attackers will be committed long term to Liverpool. Except Bobby, but I think that will be fixed before the season starts.

Not everybody is happy….Bit rich from Rat Boy considering the money they’ve spunked out on wages alone regarding Sanchez, Pogba and Sancho and co who contribute the square root of fuck all

At least Salah has earned that contract and has played for it by being consistent for years. We increased his wages gradually. But what about Sancho, a kid who hasn't done anything in his career, is already on £350k a week? That's what i call "he has played them...big time"
