Last season for Liverpool was something of a strange one. Fighting on all four fronts until the very last day, the quadruple was within their grasp it seemed. Having bagged both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, a Champions League final and Premier League title shootout with Manchester City stood between the Reds and footballing immortality.
But defeat in Paris to Real Madrid in European football's most prized club event, and City overturning a 2-0 deficit against Aston Villa in the final 15 minutes of their Premier League season in May meant that Liverpool ended up being so near yet so far, a season that was on the cusp of greatness ended being just a great season.
The impact of the on-pitch success last season had a positive effect on club finances. According to a report published on Monday by renowned football finance website Off The Pitch, the Reds are forecast to make £602m in turnover when they publish their financials early next year for the 2021/22 financial period that ended at the end of May. It is a forecast rise of some £115m from the £487m that turnover that was posted earlier in the year for the significantly pandemic-affected 2020/21 accounting period.
