Supporters made their feelings clear during the win over Crystal Palace, raising yellow cards in the 13th minute at Anfield, and the latest financial insight only adds fuel to the debate.

Liverpool revenue rise under FSG questioned

Speaking on X, finance expert Kieran Maguire broke down the growth in matchday income since 2010.

“In the season FSG acquired Liverpool, (2010/11) matchday revenue was £40.9m. Last season it was £115.6m, an increase of 183%.”

The figures go even further when looking at what we as supporters actually pay to attend games.

“Taking this into account, the price paid by a fan have increased from £42.44 to £82.11, which is 93.5% during the time that CPI has increased by 49.6%.”

That contrast between ticket prices and inflation is at the heart of the current frustration, especially given how vital fan culture has been to Liverpool’s global appeal.

“Liverpool’s success in attracting fans from all over the world is partly due to the vibrancy, the passion and the legend of the Kop… current owners FSG have benefited from that.”
