Andy Hughes, said: “Some of the numbers in these latest accounts look slightly skewed as a result of the previous reporting period being impacted by the global pandemic. However, the underlying strength of our financial position remains strong. And we continue to operate a sustainable club which is our main objective from a financial perspective.”
“It was really great having supporters back at Anfield. Returning to some sort of normality after a really challenging period for everyone.”
“For our men’s team to play the maximum 63 games in this reported season is an incredible achievement. And winning more trophies is exactly what we continue to strive for.”
“The cost of running a football club does continue to rise. But we maintain our position of growing this club with significant investment. With new and existing players signing contracts. The construction of the new Anfield Road Stand which we look forward to coming on stream in the summer. In the last five years we have invested over £250m in infrastructure and created world-class facilities for our players, staff and supporters.”
“What is important now is to finish this season as strong as possible, both on and off the pitch, while we continue to manage costs and explore opportunities for growth in our commercial operations so we can continue to reinvest revenues in players and infrastructure.”
