ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Just on this point, a player leaving for nothing has to be put into the context of the contracts they havent been offered. It's not specific to LFC, but a general consideration.

If you look a Wijnaldum for example; signed almost 5 years ago on a 5 year deal at a reported 60k PW (some sites say 40k some say 90k). They could have offered him a new deal in 2018 for another 5 years, but the kicker would be he wants parity (reasonable request) with Jordan Henderson who is on circa 150kPW (again varying reports)

So if you ladder that up in terms of 5 year outlay, that's an incremental increase for three years of 90k + 2 years @150k, totaling just over £31 million in outlay.

My point is not about Gini Wijnaldum specifically, but more the idea of a player leaving on a free is not always a case of financial mismanagement, but sometimes a prudent way of extruding max value from a player



Lolling at the net spend chat here. So obvious ffs
 

They signed up in 2017 but their first post on the forum wasn’t till the Holgate/Firmino spat so...
Yup. Then onto the stadium discussion thread where he talks down us getting BMD at every opportunity - describing it as an “unaffordable pipe dream”.

Then he started pushing Benitez as our next possible manager. FFS!!!
