I understand the great debate over the falling out between Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot but let me make my own point as someone who managed for more than 30 years.
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.
I have never known a manager pick a team that he believes will lose games and, at the moment, Salah is not playing because Slot does not consider him as being a starter in his best XI.
