Nice to see Salah getting that 80% wage increase. One era ends, the other begins. And the third continues.
Mohamed Salah has agreed a new three-year contract worth in excess of £350,000 a week that will make him the highest paid player in Liverpool’s history.Salah ha

The surprising thing to me, if they'd been taken note of how we've grown and continued to increase expenditure within our means, season-on-season, as profits continue to rise, has been the reaction on SM in particular that folk are, well,
surprised by those figures.
I think this summer continues to show, as much as anything, the continued evolution of the owners as the brand and finances continue to grow to levels unheard of in our storied history.
Most expensive ever LFC signing.
Most expensive ever LFC contract.
But all still within our budget and coming out of what
WE generate as we continue to grow at an exponential rate to unprecedented levels of wealth for this football club. Whilst still remaining self sufficient. The wage structure has been steadily increasing year-on-year as we've got more and more successful. And it will now increase again to another level. Not to PSG/ Madrid etc stupid silly levels. But all within a reasonable level, within our means, allowing the club to compete with/ for the very best. Doing it our way.
If there's a better run football club currently, in
EVERY aspect, on this planet, I'd honestly love to know about it.
The owners don’t get everything right, but they **** well know the business of sports. The most impressive bit for me is the growth to this position, achieved in a sustainable way building the infrastructure and being patient over time. You could point to a small handful of other clubs that are well run in terms of achieving success in a financially responsible way, but none (certainly that I can think of) in the modern era that are or have grown their finances through success and super smart transfer dealings in the same way and to the same level as Liverpool under FSG. (From an initial £300 million investment to now worth what, well over £4 billion.).
And being as we are the jewell in Fenway's crown, that they can leverage to continue to grow their portfolio, and, in turn, continue to maximise our potential and finances, they are, much to the consternation of those still madly against them I'm sure, going NOWHERE for a
VERY long time to come yet.
