Many things could happen, but I'm going on what seems likely to me. It would leave us with Mama - an unknown quantity in the PL , and Jaros - who's spent almost all of his adult career on loan. Why would we do that?
Cheapness is the assumption. People miss the point. Lfc are rich but have a budget too. We can afford 150k wage alisson is on as long as he sells merch.
I think the most important thing is to see is thst without cl football and high performance cl are a loss making organisation. 2 seasons ago lfc lost 9mil despite being in the cl Last season lfc were not in the cl and lost 57 mil. However the underlying numbers are strong. 300mil in commercial revenues and growing 100mil+ in matchday and blunder to grow Tv money and prize money will be linked to success and blund to be a bumper haul this season However the wages and staffing (not necessarily players) is getting more expensive all the time and you'd question if there's numbers in there thst are really delivering thst 300mil and working for the club or are they fsg hangers on This hints to why whoever it is that has decided to offer a low ball to salah has done so. This hints to why konate hasn't signed a new deal despite being offered one and similarly Diaz. Lfc are up to 614 mil in revenue without cl so you can basically call that over 700mil this season Real madrid declared 883mil in pounds as the world's biggest club You could wonder how lfc can continue to grow revenue when anfield is now constrained and we will never get near the bernebau capacity. Real have 100mil more revenue than lfc in commercial revenues. That won't be easy to get near. Realistically lfc are at the point where tjey are examining the costs and i think someone will be looking at man utd's stupid antics and thinking hownthry can sack a few hundred staff. .
I don't really understand club financial matters but I do find the Swiss Ramble analysis easier to follow. He will probably have something up soon, so I will wait for that.
Pity he went behind a pay wall. The one number I've not seen yet is the amortisation figure as that goes forward in time. Thry have not bothered to put the detail up on the lfc website yet.
I didn't know he'd gone substack. Might be able to pick up his latest on Liverpool if it's posted elsewhere.
I've downloaded the LFc accounts from yougov. some points: LFC cash on hand 7.5mil up form 3.394mil the year before bank loans 115.595mil inter company loans stand at 198.7mil (what we owe FSG) this seems a massive amount and its increased by 127.3mil over the 12 months . basically this is "equity" and the financial statemnt includes an undertaking that FSG will not call in that loan unless LFC can actually pay it back. total amortisation/depreciation etc 130.773 million.up fomr 121.824 mil In short FSG have actually put money into the club to protect its liquidity. LFC owe 344million, but ower FSG 198.7million of that.
