That way they don’t fuck up their”wage bill” as they don’t want to be slagged off for paying him 500 k a week ,which in theory ,they will do anyway , but in a different form .
Muppets .
Hilarious .
Shot themselves in the foot with Klopp's comment of him being the best in the world. If that's so, you have to pay him to reflect that. Agree with you on the bonus v wage increase - presumably, the bonus amount will be grossed up to cover his taxes as well. All ends with them having him stay on their books with nowhere for him to go and no massive transfer fee to keep them top of the non-existent net spend league
Haha, imagine Salah and his agent just turn up to negotiations with a video of Klopp saying he’s the best in the world and then a list of salaries including Ronaldo and Messi’s

That's the problem for them isn't it? He actually said it out loud. If you're Salah's, Klopp has just done your negotiating for you
Exactly. Klopp actually said, “Name someone better than Salah”. Fuckin idiot.
Politics.
Klopp is supporting Salah in public and sending a warning to the owners.
It is a clear indication that the owners are reluctant to stump up the cash required to keep a 29 year old Salah.
You get paid for what you can deliver, not what you have delivered (that is water under the bridge).
The owners will not want to hand out a top $$$ 4 or 5 year contract to a 29 year old.
From a business perspective the owners stance makes perfect sense.
