00:00Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has analysed Liverpool's latest accounts, revealing
00:07the £57m loss for the 23-24 season. The main reason was missing out on Champions League
00:14football, with media revenue falling by £38m as the Reds played in the Europa League instead.
00:22Despite this, Liverpool's overall revenue increased to £614m thanks to over £300m
00:29from commercial deals with UPS, Google Pixel, Peloton and Orion Innovation.
00:35The wage bill rose from £373m to £386m, partly due to bonuses from their 22-23 Champions
00:44League run. Meanwhile, former manager Jurgen Klopp and his backroom staff received a combined
00:50£9.6m in payoffs following their departures last summer. Maguire also examined the club's
00:57player trading section, which states Liverpool's net spending for the season was just £0.1m.
01:05He reacted on social media, saying Liverpool's accounts are now visible. It looks like they're
01:10destined to win the Premier League title this season on the back of a net spend of just
01:15£0.1m. Since Arnie Schlott's arrival, Liverpool
01:19have made just one signing, Federico Chiesa, for £10m, while offloading Sepp Van den Berg,
01:26Fabio Carvalho and Bobby Clark. Meanwhile, Everton's new owners, the Freeking
01:32Group, are finalising key appointments to reshape the club's leadership.
01:39Further changes are expected, including the likely departure of director of football Kevin
01:45Thelwell. Moyes is expected to have greater influence over transfers as Everton prepare
01:51for a major squad overhaul this summer. With 11 players out of contract, including key
01:58starters, big decisions await. Leeds United's Angus Kinnear is reportedly
02:04in line to become CEO, as Everton gear up for their long-awaited move to Bramley Moor
02:09Dock for the 2025-26 season.
