In three years, “Anfield”’s utility costs have doubled, and administrative costs have increased by 88% - from £320 million to £600 million since 2018.
The good news is that the club managed to reduce its debt by £10 million, bringing it down to £116 million. The forecasts for the next financial year are optimistic due to Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League playoffs, as well as the likelihood of winning the title in the English championship.
