Rupert Murdoch wants to set up a summer tournament with matches in different cities around the world for the biggest European football teams. What a terrible idea if it goes through

That was my first thought too. But is there any major team that doesn't tour in the summer already?

AFAIK nearly all the money Lerner has given to the club has actually been in the form of low-investment loans, so basically yes.

I don't know if Liverpool are the only English club to go in this direction, but the club has been pushing a new kind of contract in order to avoid being burned as badly as it has in the past with flop transfers. The intent is to lower basic salaries while offering higher performance-related bonuses than before.

Spurs have been using this contract structure for a few years now with a degree of success. Essentially a champions league spot is worth double the money which is one of the reasons why the Chelsea Champions League win hurt the platers so much.

I take your point, but PSG has only spent approximately 7M more euros this window than Man City (and that doesn't include Negredo and/or Jovetic). Monaco, on the other hand, is going bonkers.

Wilshere, Walcotts, Ramsey and OXs new contracts from earlier this year were performance based too, which is part of the reason why it took so long to sign up Walcott iirc.

That is supposedly what City are doing, with Navas, Fernandinho, and potentially Jovetic and Negredo all on meant to be on £70k/w-£85k/w, plus loads of bonuses for good performances. Obviously still huge amounts of money, but better than the previous situation where any new player went straight in at around the £150k/w mark.

Think it's a good thing overall, especially given how much has been overspent on wages of players who flopped so badly the past 10 years or so.

The challenge for a club like Liverpool vs say City structuring them this way is I could see Liverpool possibly missing out on transfer targets, especially in competitive deals like say Mickey Ryan and Dortmund, when the other club is flat out paying higher guaranteed wages. That plus the lack of CL football for the foreseeable future I think make this somewhat of a risky approach for a club where they're at today.

Monaco have just gotten promoted so aren't in Europe at all right now though, so they've got another season or so to do some creative accounting/sign a ridiculously huge 'sponsorship' deal.

I believe they're going with that.
