Let\u2019s look at it from a different point of view, let\u2019s think that someone might be Michael Edwards because Mo Salah is a contracted player.

That\u2019s where the contract talks and negotiations go on. Arne Slot is obviously involved but the sporting director is in there to do that deal. They might have said to him: \u2018You sign with us for two years, we will guarantee you\u2019ll play most of the games, you\u2019re going to do this, we\u2019re going to give you this\u2019.
