Robson: Lucrative contracts sparked problems for Slot at Liverpool

Stewart Robson claims that Liverpool's decision to award big contracts to senior players last summer created the difficulties now facing manager Arne Slot. He argues the deals raised performance expectations while restricting the tactical flexibility of the coaching staff.

Robson also points out that the financial burden conflicted with the club's transfer strategy and dampened squad morale. He urges Liverpool to re‑evaluate its wage policy ahead of the next season.
