Newcastle United set for 'club record' deal that could explain FSG Liverpool sale

While potentially having one eye on an exit strategy at Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group remain focused on the Reds' growth both on and off the field.

Liverpool's revenues have risen significantly since FSG acquired the club, when turnover stood at £184m at the end of the 2010/11 accounting period. Through a combination of greater commercial deals and hugely increased media rights, revenues have risen to what is expected to be around £600m for the 2021/22 financial year, something that would represent a 226 per cent increase over the past 12 years.

Liverpool have been able to leverage their success on the pitch and their huge global fanbase and turned it into major revenue streams that have been able to support the vastly increasing wage bill over that time, as well as investment into the first team and the club's infrastructure.
