“I can understand money in football is about spending, I am part of that as well. At this moment we have rebuilt a new stand which will improve the best atmosphere in the world. Main Stand, AXA, Melwood back..lot of stuff to keep club healthy.
“It’s not that we need a budget for £200m for the better place we’re in the more we can spend. No CL is a massive blow but we improved the team anyway, which is difficult but possible. But [Dynasty] is good news. Money will be well used.”
According to The Times, Liverpool’s accounts up to June 2022 showed a net debt of £74 million, while inter-company debt was £71 million.
