Matchday revenue is also up by 85%, so the costs are surely covered? The club’s total revenues have also grown by 133% to £703m.“As supporter representatives we face a unique challenge – wanting the very best for our club in the short, medium and long term.

Decisions made by the current custodians will impact supporters, some of whom are not yet born, for generations to come. We want to be able to say: we did all we could to ensure the support and traditions continue to be passed on.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
