Dave Powell joins Paul Wheelock for the latest edition of The Bottom Line football finances podcast to talk Mohamed Salah and his Liverpool contract situation. Why isn’t it as easy as just paying Salah what he wants? What did Reds owners FSG do when faced with a comparable situation at the Boston Red Sox last year? Who could afford the Egyptian King if the unthinkable happened and he did Anfield? What would it do to the club’s increasing wage bill if he signs a new deal? And what is his value to the club away from the pitch? All those questions are answered before Dave explains the latest on the Anfield Road redevelopment, gives insight into his exclusive interview with a key Liverpool player off the field, and talks the takeover of Newcastle United by the Saudi Arabia-backed Public Investment Fund and what it could mean for the Premier League.
