Champions League Absence Hits Revenue 1g5t4g

Liverpool’s failure to secure a top-four finish in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign relegated them to the Europa League, which offers significantly lower financial rewards.

This led to a £38 million drop in media revenue.

However, this was partially offset by increased match-day earnings, thanks to the opening of the expanded Anfield Road stand and a higher number of home fixtures.

Jurgen Klopp’s Departure Costs £9.6 Million 3p3ac

A key expense in Liverpool’s financial report is the £9.6 million severance package paid to Jurgen Klopp and over ten of his backroom staff following their departure at the end of the 2023/24 season.

Despite this, the club remain financially stable and compliant with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, which permit a maximum loss of £105 million over a three-year period.

Unlike Manchester United, who recently announced up to 200 job losses as part of cost-cutting measures, Liverpool continue to operate within financial sustainability guidelines.

Chief Finance Officer Jenny Beacham emphasised the club’s commitment to balancing financial responsibility with competitive ambition, stating, “Operating a financially sustainable club continues to be our priority and, with the continued increase in costs, it’s essential to grow income streams year on year to maintain financial stability.”
