Liverpool enjoyed record revenues during the previous financial year.
Accounts for the Anfield club in the year ending May 2022 were published on Tuesday and revealed their returns from the first post-coronavirus season.
The return of fans at full capacity saw the Reds enjoy an £83M uplift in their match day revenues from the previous campaign, which stood at just £3M.
Although media revenues dipped slightly, dropping by £5M to £261M, Jurgen Klopp’s side saw their overall revenue streams increase by more than £100M.
Increased wages, generated by the signings of Luis Diaz and Fabio Carvalho as well as 22 first-team contract renewals, saw admin costs rise by £69M.
Those outlays factored into Liverpool posting pre-tax profits of just £7.5M for a period when they played a mammoth 63 games in all competitions last term.
Andy Hughes, Liverpool’s managing director, 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 and 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.
“Our women’s team also had success by gaining promotion to the WSL was a great achievement and exactly where we need them to be competing.
“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 and 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’s 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.”
