Judging by his recent interview, Konate is part of the “mini-conspiracy” too. Nothing wrong with this, I guess, but it does look like a Mexican stand-off between the club and key players. Once the first domino falls, things should resolve quickly. But if it doesn’t…
11 more injuries then?
This is conspiracy level stuff - but I like it !
This "report" is Lovren saying what he thinks and feels about Salahs contract situation. Its about as useful as Lovren was playing for us. Hint, not very..
Lovren's opinion on virtually anything player related is in general beyond useless !
VVD is the one that’s most concerning to me.
I believe new contracts typically supersede the existing ones when signed, so pay and conditions are immediate. Trent could have probably been earning more money all this year had he wanted to, but I guess that doesn't come close to matching a free transfer contract to Real Madrid (or whatever Liverpool are prepared to pay to avoid that from happening).
This is how it normally works, although it doesn't have to be that way. The contract could be drafted to maintain the existing terms and conditions and have the new terms come into play when the existing one expires. This is more typical where the extension is on a reduced pay level (usually because the player is getting on / injury prone, so his future contribution is likely to be at a lower level than at present). It would be highly unusual for a player / agent or even the FA / PL to agree to a contract with reduced terms that take effect immediately.
But it would be more normal for the new (improved) terms to take effect as soon as the contract is signed (or at an agreed date stated in the contract, such as the 1st of the following month) and that's often used as an incentive to persuade the player to sign sooner rather than later.
EDIT
Just to add re the 1 July date, with a player who is already on your books, you can start a new contract whenever you like, but with an incoming player, it can only take effect from the date of the transfer (which is often 1 July if the deal is agreed ahead of the summer window opening). That's because the player's registration isn't owned by the club until the transfer is done, so he can't be employed by the club before that date. In the case of an existing player, you already own his registration so you can start a new contract whenever you like (and the contract will extend the period for which you own his registration).
Did you take that story even 1% serious?
Googling updates and thats all I got...
There’s your first mistake.
He’s made it clear he wants to stay though
Might want to stay, still depends if the club give a reasonable offer
Wonder if there's a hefty bonus for a pl or cl win in there, which on the renewals might be less as they're potentially going to become less important to the team over the next few years. If they sign now, they might be getting less of a bonus should we win
Already suggested this before, think Beamy said bonus payments will be paid regardless as agreed.
It would all come down to what's in the contract, but I don't see any way those bonuses for the current season would go down. The club wouldn't try it (it would be a supreme act of bad faith), and the agents wouldn't let it slip if they did.
That's not to say that there mightn't be lower numbers for outer years (or a skew in fixed v bonus) but for this year they wouldn't reduce those bonuses, if they change at all they'll go up.
So you're saying I'm wrong? Again?
In a world where there is a bill before congress to authorise agent Orange to buy Greenland and re-name it "Red, White and Blue Land", I'm not sure such nebulous concepts as right and wrong really exist anymore.
TLDR : yeah, sorry bud. That's not how it works in practice.
“First”?????
