You simply have to. To keep the best players you need to pay them accordingly. Salah had every right to ask to be among the highest paid footballers.

As Liverpool continue to be sucessfull, their wage structure will increase. Its a trend at every top club.

Also keep in mind that now you 'broke the record' with Salah, more players will feel entitled to higher salary, so you might expect a bit more 'unsettled' stories in the news. It comes with the territory.

I think if they'd put him on double or more of Virgil and co's salary, you'd quite conceivably get that. But they've pitched him just about perfectly to allow increase in other key players salaries when their deals are up over the next 3 years. We are still heavily bonus incentified (Sp? My brains not working without coffee haha) to success. As Mo's contract is. So the more personal success he has, the more it benefits everyone else in the squad.

The levels have risen again. But not to super silly levels outside our means and squad harmony.

And they could just as quickly fall if the success dropped off. I think 'flexible wage structure within our means' is the best way to term it.

*Edit* Incentivised. That's the word haha. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Here we go again.

5 weeks, 2 days after the horrifically traumatic events of Paris, and players unbelievably being required to play International friendlies after that (4 games in 10 day in many cases), 'proper' football is back and our 2022/ 23 season is underway.

With the CS curtain raiser just 3 weeks this Saturday. 'Easy' life being a pro-footballer aye?

The long, hard slog to (hopefully) the quintet starts today!
 
@kitchin75 ..... Woodburn's earned a Championship contract at Preston.

🤞🏻🤞🏻he earns a contract and finally has a stable base to start his pro-career.


Aced his trial and earned himself a contract for this season.



Made up for him to finally have some stability, at a solid championship club, under an up and coming young manager.

At 22, there's still plenty of time for him yet. He's certainly not lacking in talent.

U21 loan #7/ GK #3-


A step up from last years League of Ireland/ National League loans into the actual football league. Which can only be good for his continued development. Another, nice local one too which is convenient from all aspects. If he has as much success/ makes the same leap, as he had/ did at St. Pats last year in particular, he could well be in the mix to replace Kelleher's role next summer if he choses to break out as a starter somewhere.

Presumably, that will leave two young 18-year-olds in Harvey Davies and recently extended young Pole Fabian Mrozek (@Tyton ) stepping up an age level to the 21's full time. Which is boss for expediting their development. With Liam Hughes and Oscar Kelly training goalies/ next in line. And Luke Hewitson becoming the 18's goalie along with whomever from the 16's being bounced up.

Congrats to Jarell, Luke Chambers, Harvey Davies and all your compadres. Really good final to top off a really fun tournament to watch which has been superb development experience.

I thought Jarell and the Villa lad Chukwuemeka, who's arguably been the player of the tournament, were head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch tonight. Shout out to Quansah's CH partner Edwards too from Peterborough who's had a superb tournament.


Enjoy a well earned break boys and we'll see you back in Kirkby as European Champions later in the summer.
