The giant strides Liverpool are making off the field - and what it says about FSG

Now we know Liverpool are in a very good place on the pitch. One look at the Premier League table will tell you that. But the recent release of the club’s latest accounts show the Reds are also in a very good place away from the pitch as well. For the 2017-18 season, Liverpool posted a record-breaking pre-tax profit of £125million. And while that figure owed much to the proceeds of Philippe Coutinho’s sale to Barcelona, the special guest of this podcast explains why that figure underlines the huge strides Liverpool continue to make off the field. Kieran Maguire is a leading football finance expert and a lecturer in the subject at the University of Liverpool. And as well as the impressive annual accounts, he talks to Paul Wheelock about the FSG policies that are really beginning to reap dividends, why Liverpool have now surpassed two of their top-six rivals, why it was a quiet transfer window, and what the Reds can expect as they get set to negotiate a new money-spinning kit deal. Enjoy – and we’ll be back on Wednesday with Peter Hooton’s Allez Les Rouges podcast. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
