The Reds also sit above rivals, Manchester United, in the table for the first time ever as the Red Devils sit in fourth.
Last year, the club came seventh in the money league so revenue has massively increased over the last year.
The report also states that the club were “only one of five clubs to report over £100million in matchday revenue, which was the first time the club had done so, as fans returned to football stadia in their masses.”
They also back Liverpool to continue to grow their revenue in coming years, saying: “This is expected to increase further in coming years, with the expansion of the Anfield Road Stand due to be completed ahead of the 2023/24 season.”
However, many supporters have been left frustrated claiming it isn’t a coincedence that Fenway Sports Group have allotted the most revenue at the same time as wanting to sell the club.
FSG’s sell to buy policy has become extremely frustrating for supporters, who claim the policy isn’t sustainable and is very risky.
As good as it is to see the club being ran well as a business, the huge ticket prices, the out of date transfer policy and the attempts to take Liverpool into the European Super League has all turned the fans against FSG.
It’s clear to see that Liverpool as a football club has outgrown the capabilities of FSG and new owners remain top of the Kopites’ wishlist.
