Orion1871Sutekh Have to say that this award is utterly meaningless really and does not warrant the profile. The consistency the Salah has reached with his “numbers’ season on season is amazing yet these hacks still vote for the latest “flavours”! Perhaps Salah should start spelling his name M-E-S-S-I.
Salah not winning seems to have wound you up pretty well for a "meaningless" award, Sutekh. He may well have had a chance if his form didn't drop off in the last three or four months of last season with Liverpool getting knocked out of the CL pretty early.
I do agree that the award has lost it's lustre tbf after the recent Rodri and Messi wins. In fact, probably since the Modric win, as great a player as he has been, in 2018.

It winds me up because it should be a decent award, makes sense to recognise the great players and managers , yet it’s wasted when you see obviously outstanding talent continually overlooked for either the same old same old or whoever can most efficiently persuade those voting. Perhaps the prize should be adjusted so that is awarded based on more definable measurements, or opened up to a greater voting base
