Liverpool published their accounts for the 2020/21 financial year on Friday, a period that included the Reds being crowned Premier League champions and a season played almost entirely without fans due to the pandemic.
Indeed, 2019/20 began as normal but then felt the brunt of the onset of the pandemic that resulted in a season being suspended before being finished after the financial year ended, Liverpool saw their 2018/19 pre-tax profit of £42m swing to a pre-tax loss of £46m.
In the latest accounts there was another loss, but at £4.8m it was a fraction of that seen by some of their Premier League rivals for the same period. The combined losses of the Premier League's 'big six', the clubs who were agitating to form a new European Super League last year, stands at £775m over the two pandemic-affected seasons. Of that figure Liverpool, whose losses for the past two seasons come out at £50.8m, equated to around 6.5 per cent.
