Liverpool announce £57m loss in clear cost of Champions League absence

Liverpool posted a loss before tax of £57 million last season as their Champions League absence and soaring administrative costs took their toll.

On a positive note, bank debt decreased by £10m to £116m, while the return of Champions League revenues – finishing top of the group stage is believed to have been worth at least £83.8m with a further £47million to play for – plus potential Premier League success, and a fully-operational Anfield Road will provide an important boost to finances which is likely to push the club towards a healthier financial position.
