My niece goes to every home game. The general feeling amongst the match going fans is - give Salah what he's asking for. Most of us on here don't go to the games (anymore). Knowing and speaking regularly to people who do go, very often gives a different perspective.

I know.

I would.sincerely doubt you'd find a single local match going fan in anfield that would not pay any of the 3 anything they want (that's half way fair)

You will find some day trippers too.

I am convinced that those in the mains and behind slot at the utd game giving trent abuse were day trippers.

The truth is, neither the forum members, or the match attenders know how much the club can afford. All I can say is, I suspect if we give Salah a million a week to match the Saudis, we're almost certainly not getting any new players next summer either.

That's true. I just think, on balance, those who go to the game aren't as concerned about the money side of contracts (and transfers) as those who use social media seem to be. I've never met a fan who goes on about the ins and outs of the business side of things like I've seen a large majority of those online do.

Will be when they announce salahs new deal and say ticket prices need to go up 20% to pay for it.

I've said several times I've no interest in the club's accounts and I take very little part in those discussions. I'm only interested in the broad strokes, and in principle I've always been against bowing to excessive demands - those being anything that blows our wage structure out of the water.
Good as he's been I wouldn't have given in to Mo's (agent's) demands last time, and I don't think it makes much sense to go much further this time round.
Remember that there are plenty of fans who just demand bigger and better and want to see money thrown around without giving a thought as to how practical it is.
There's a balance to be struck between trying to run the club's finances for it and pretending no such concerns exist.

Yes... and I just have to trust the club is making the right calls for the balance... because I get no real say in it anyway.

Yeah - I really don't understand why people waste so much energy fretting over something they have very little data on and no influence over.

Arsenal had 60m bid rejected for Watkins. Obviously testing the water but no chance Villa sell for anything like than 80/90m imo
