A drastic change in salaries in recent years, prioritising current inflation

The Red's backs are against the wall, as the margin for error must be minimal, the season is still on course and the goals set at the start of the season are simply not being met. Every week the fans live a tension that is increasing, because of the last five games recorded by The Pool, there are two defeats, two draws and just one win; Wolves in the FA Cup replay.

These results are the conclusion of bad decisions and low level of play of some superstars who are being watched in detail by the fans, such is the case of captain Jordan Henderson, who has begun to have less activity by Jürgen Klopp, and even in the last match against Chelsea FC that ended in a draw, the Englishman had just 8 minutes on the field.

Fans are not at all happy with the 32-year-old's performance, believing that for someone of his age, it is unheard of that he is being paid around 10 million, when he has shown little in this season where he was injured with a hamstring problem that kept him out of action for a couple of weeks. Henderson has been a Pool player since June 2011.

Taking this salary comparison with the last great captain of the Red's Steven Gerrard, who in his last stage with the club came to charge about 140 thousand pounds a week, this in the distant year of 2013, where the market still did not allow stratospheric salaries as there are now with Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter being the best paid in the category with about 200 million per year.

It is then that Jordan has a debt with the fans, as the captain and the whole squad are responsible for the club's poor form, which can be reversed as long as they overcome their respective rivals in the last three tournaments they have left, such as the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup and the Premier League, where although the title is impossible, they can look for the privileged positions in the table.
