Sorry for posting this late. You seemed to have missed my point, or my fault really , I was not clear enough in my words. The simple point I was trying to make was the owners needed to act now in January or in atleast last summer with a much needed injection of quality in the squad. What would be the point of this rumored 250 million, when we could not spend that much money ever before 2019 and that too was only done by the sale of Coutinho.
By summer , if we finish outside top 7 and have no Europe at all, it is going to be an uphill task for the next 2-3 years. I cannot for the life of me believe that this team will suddenly challenge for title from next season. My fear rather is that Klopp will be eventually sacrificed to hide some other people’s failings. And, any targets that we believed were attainable will need to be re-considered, let alone re-evaluated as well.
When we could not ever spend and build legacy while on top, do you really think the owners will go out and spend 250 million without champions league. I firmly cannot see Bellingham being signed.
Football today is all about money and ambition showed through that. Chelsea signing Enzo is a prime example of that. You will have City, United, Chelsea and even Madrid going all out for Bellingham with more money, ambition and chance of winning to offer. And, hence, I keep repeating that last summer needed the owners to spend some of their own money and buy 2-3 world class additions to the squad.
It was outrageous to think, by the coaching staff, director of football and owners to really believe that the same set of players will go again. Many players have come out and said that they were affected mentally. The players needed a lift and an injection. It was a collective failure from top to bottom. But, I cannot for the life of me believe that if given an option to Klopp, he would have said no I don’t want world class additions in this squad over the summer.
Now on the salary thing you mentioned, how does it really matter who is signed for how long. Chelsea have just made a mockery of that justification by signing players over 7-8 years contract. FFP has been badly exposed.The fact is the owners put the money where the mouth is… the same applies to FSG when they did this for a Red sox player.
And, as far as earnings comparison for Denver and Salah goes, here is a small explanation atleast from their base salaries
Agreed, Denver is signed for 11 years extension. Here’s a tweet confirming his 11 years contract including signing bonus.
By this information, he will earn an **average base salary ** of $30,090,909 (30 million dollars ball park).
Now, Salah’s weekly wage are 350,000 pounds per week , which amounts to £18,200,000 per year ( = $ 22,551, 266 , 22.5 million dollars roughly)
Hopefully, it is very evident here, who is earning more atleast by the base terms of a contract.
The question still remains for me, why can’t you put your money for liverpool football club , when it is in dire need of something and damage limitation was priority, but when it comes to sale value, you won’t budge for anything less than 4 billion ?
