Tommy Conlon: For Mohamed Salah the throne was only a scaffold

For Liverpool FC’s social media team, the time had come to pay homage to the king by putting him on his throne. After all, they were now paying him a king’s ransom. Mohamed Salah was monarch of Anfield. The ceremonial coronation was to announce he had signed a new contract that would make him the highest-paid player in the club’s history. The Egyptian pharaoh would henceforth be receiving £400,000 a week.
