"Both Slot and Salah are being paid enormous salaries by Liverpool, one to manage and the other to play. They both have the responsibility to act in the best interests of the club, and nothing else should come into it. Personal views about each other cannot, and should not, come into the equation - for manager or player. The club needs every one of its coaching staff and players to be united with one aim, which is to win football matches."
"Slot, as a manager, understands that there can be only one singer, and one song being played, and that he conducts it. As a player, Salah must look up to the stands and see two other great Liverpool goalscorers in Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish, and recognise that even the greatest players come to a stage in their career where the club moves on."
Both Slot and Salah are paid by Liverpool and must act in the club's interests. Personal views about each other should not influence managerial or player decisions. The manager selects his best XI and will not pick a team he believes will lose, which currently leaves Salah out because Slot does not see him as a starter. A manager must maintain a single coherent system and lead the team. Players, even great goalscorers, sometimes reach a stage when the club moves on, and a transfer could allow tensions to be forgotten while fans remember the player's achievements. Management experience teaches how to handle unhappy players without affecting the team.
