The wage difference isn’t likely to be that significant here - reports suggest €6m net per annum for Darwin, which equates to £185k per week - Mane probably isn’t on much more than that at present. The wage “saving” here is what Darwin will earn relative to what Mane was asking for (reported £400k). But that just preserves some of this year’s transfer budget, it doesn’t add to it.
The amortisation of the transfer fee isn’t relevant here - the key driver is available cash, not profit. I’m not aware that we have any issues with profit for FFP and the sale of Mane would probably address those anyway.
We agree on the wages comment was based on Manés next contract, which FSG must have had some increase budget for.
On the cash side, I don’t think that is the key. FSG have never had a cash issue and being compliant with FFP has not been issue, except they others to do so as well.
But, they don’t try to just be compliant, they want to run a profitable business and amortization is relevant to that.
In fairness, Cash Flow and P&L are both critical and intertwined.

Manchester United believe their rivals Liverpool are making a mistake by signing Benfica forward Darwin Nunez, according to reports.
With Liverpool set to announce the €100m signing in the coming days, United's hierarchy see the signing as ‘reckless spending’ – a somewhat ironic statement considering United have been guilty of doing exactly that in the past.
The Red Devils were seemingly in the race for the Uruguayan’s signature at one point, but they pulled out in fear of being drawn into an expensive bidding war, according to ESPN.
Signings such as Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire and Romelu Lukaku have come at a high cost for United, with all four players being transferred in on a high fee and wage.
Subsequently, the stints all four players had at United have been deemed as failures by the majority, with the fees paid not being represented on the pitch.
These past failures in the transfer market by United should come as a warning for Liverpool and their pursuit of Nunez, with it displaying how a high fee doesn’t always translate to high class performances.

The eye-watering €100m fee Liverpool are prepared to pay for Darwin Nunez has many questioning Liverpool’s transfer strategy this summer.
However, of late, Liverpool have seemingly got these big transfers right under Klopp.

FSG manage based on cash. They have done throughout their ownership period. I know this from people who work for the club and the accounts support it. This is responsible ownership.We agree on the wages comment was based on Manés next contract, which FSG must have had some increase budget for.

Be good if he kicked on like Salah did. Can't overly see it, but hopefully i'm wrong again

I don't know why people think he wouldn't kick on under Klopp. I mean, that's what he does, helps players play to their absolute maximum level. I remember the massive skepticism across the site when we signed Salah, and especially prevalent were both that he wasn't good enough, and he wasn't the kind of player we needed. Well, that turned out alright. I know the "in Klopp we trust" mantra might seem like unthinking faith, but he and his team have repeatedly got this stuff right, and Klopp has repeatedly made players better throughout his entire coaching career. I'm so delighted with this signing. Fuck yer Haaland, Darwin's going to kick arse.Be good if he kicked on like Salah did. Can't overly see it, but hopefully i'm wrong again
He’s a kind of a funny shape though.
Oh i've no doubt if anyone can do it klopp can.
