      Yea, my initial reaction was "F**k, 46M loss and only 3 months of the pandemic are included". However, while we'll have the remaining impact from matchday revenue, it looks like it would be offset by media revenue that pushed out of this reporting period due to date extension of the PL. Still expect another loss in the following reporting period, though.

      Pearce has been saying the total hit is around 120m.

      Which really shouldn't be that big a deal since we are now worth about 10x what FSG paid for us...so I'd suggest they suck up the loss and back the boss and Edwards to get us some new players this summer. No excuses.

      Value does not equal to revenues.

      You can have debt + assets that contribute massively to value and worth but it doesn't mean you are liquid enough or you carry enough cash to buy players. You need revenue to contribute.

      You can't expect us to go buy 50 or 60m players in the summer when our losses are around 120m, unless you are ok with the club increasing their debt to finance new players.

      Don’t think it’s as easy as that - maybe an inter club loan etc but the club may well suck up the losses but then have to look at the spend that can be made during the summer

      I’m ok with our owners eating the debt, they can finance it with a loan to the club that never gets paid back for all I care.

      Liverpool have made a pre-tax loss of £46m for the year ending 31 May, 2020.

      Having made a pre-tax profit of £42m for the previous year, it represents a swing of £88m for the Reds.

      The figures cover the start of the coronavirus pandemic, which caused the Premier League to be halted between March and June 2020.

      When the campaign did resume, it did so behind closed doors as Liverpool went on to win the top-flight title for the first time since 1990.

      The club said the results showed the "initial impact of the pandemic" and that "matchday revenue was down by £13m to £71m as a result of four fewer Premier League home games during this period".

      Media revenue was down by £59m to £202m and, while commercial income rose by £29m to £217m, overall revenue reduced by £43m to £490m.

      The results have been published nine days after it was announced that Liverpool, along with five top-flight rivals, had signed up to join the European Super League - although all six clubs then withdrew.

      In October 2020, Manchester United announced a net £23.2m loss, while Manchester City reported a loss of £126m for the 2019-20 season in April 2021.

      I am not a financial expert but having looked at lfc's accounts I reckon if we stick all the players on minimum wage and sell the ground we can afford haaland and mbappe.  I believe the phrase no brainer is appropriate

      Likely out of the CL next year too, so not great news there for the pencil pushers.

      Somewhere between 70 to 90M depending on how far you go.

      No CL is about the same amount as no fans in Anfield all season.

      Yes we have at least been on par with these teams, but no investment in January when we were desperate will set us back Two seasons in which time will we recover
