Join Mark Jones and the Daily Mirror's Chief Sports Writer Andy Dunn on the latest episode of the Blood Red podcast as they unpick a seismic day for the Reds. After nine trophy-laden years and over 250 goals, the Egyptian King has confirmed his legendary Anfield chapter is coming to a close. But as the dust settles on the announcement, the panel asks the tough questions facing Arne Slot and the Liverpool hierarchy: Can Salah rediscover his best form to fire Liverpool to silverware in his final months, or has the "Egyptian King" already seen his peak? Did Salah’s public criticism of Arne Slot at Elland Road—claiming he’d been "thrown under the bus"—irreparably damage the team's harmony? With the season reaching its business end, is this announcement the transparency the squad needs, or a narrative that will overshadow the hunt for trophies? Where does Salah truly rank among the all-time Anfield greats after such a complicated final campaign? From the breakdown in his relationship with the manager to the inevitable links with the Saudi Pro League, we dive deep into the fallout of the most significant departure since Jurgen Klopp. #LFC #LiverpoolFC #FACup #ArneSlot #Anfield #BloodRed Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon to never miss an episode of the Blood Red podcast.

0:09.5	Hello, welcome to the Blood Red podcast, a special edition of Blood Red podcast today.
0:14.5	Coming hot on the heels of the news, obviously, that Mohamed Salah will be leaving the Reds at the end of the season.
0:37.5	News that we weren't expecting, obviously, to come during what's normally a quiet international break. But when the news broke, it must cost quarters a little bit on the hop, a little bit. But we're here to discuss it today. I'm delighted to welcome Chief Sports Writer of the Daily Mirror, Andy Dunn, to discuss the Salon news. Good to see you, Andy. Thanks very much. And, well, first of all, what do you make of it? How did you take the news last night when you saw it break him?

1:22.5	that was announced at this time
1:23.8	am I surprised by the timing?
1:26.4	Yes, do I think the timing's good? Not really. Am I surprised by the timing? Yes. Do I think the time ends good? Not really.
1:30.2	Am I surprised that he's going in the summer after this season? No, I'm not surprised. I'm not
1:35.2	surprised that he's leaving in the summer. I think we probably could have flagged that up fairly
