Just throwing this out there as it baffles me a bit. So Mo out on a free,Robbo too,Virgil off next summer,Allison possibly off. Slot,Hughes & Edwards out of contract in a year. No long term planning. Are fsg cutting the wage bill for a potential sale?It's the only way I can make sense of it. Bring down the squad age & have no staff on long term contracts. Pump up the value.

Perhaps - if you want to talk
gross.. and despite that we would be 5th on gross for the last 5 years.
In reality - it was nothing like half a billion spent. Actually, not even half of half a billion. It was bang on the nose of £200 million…we sold Diaz, Nunez, Quansah, Doak and Trent for £207 million. £407 out £207 in.
And that came after a £27 million profit the summer before. So around £86 million across both windows…
…So prior to last summer, we were bottom of the top 6 in net spend (recording a profit in 2024), but the £400m+ gross last summer moved us up the rankings significantly to 5th.. And we were 10th in the net spend league for the 5 years prior to that.
And don’t forget - every penny is spent from what is left after loans plus interest payments are made on the infrastructure. So you could argue that IF they were to try and sell without last summers investment - accusations of neglect could be made after the best manager on the planet couldn’t fulfil his contract due to exhaustion - and walked.
I think there is a good chance that they are actively looking for a sale. However Liverpool FC is far and away their biggest asset. Not just in revenue terms but in gravitas. The leverage they have while owning us cannot be overstated.
I live in hope.
We never did hear how much the club received from Diogo’s life insurance policy.
To put it bluntly our first team players are very valuable assets and will be heavily insured
Doesn't really matter what we think - what matters is the actual valuation and according to many sources is as follows:
If Liverpool FC were put up for sale today, its estimated value would sit between $5.4 billion (£4.3 billion) and $5.8 billion (£4.6 billion). As of April 2026, Liverpool remains one of the most valuable sports properties in the world. Its valuation has seen a consistent upward trend since Fenway Sports Group (FSG) purchased the club for approximately £300 million in 2010.
Recent financial analyses from 2025 and early 2026 place Liverpool in the elite "Big Four" of global football:
Forbes (2025/2026): Consistently ranks the club 4th globally, with the most recent estimates placing the baseline value at $5.4 billion.
Sportico & Financial Benchmarks: Other industry analysts often suggest a slightly higher "sale premium" for Premier League clubs, pushing potential bids closer to the $5.8 billion mark due to the scarcity of such assets.
Key Value Drivers
Several factors contribute to why the club’s price tag has soared over the last decade:
Infrastructure Growth: The completion of the Anfield Road Stand expansion (bringing capacity over 61,000) and the state-of-the-art AXA Training Centre has significantly increased the club’s physical asset value.
Global Commercial Reach: High-profile minority owners like LeBron James** and recent investment from firms like Dynasty Equity have solidified the club's "lifestyle brand" status, particularly in the U.S. and Asian markets.
Revenue Stability: Liverpool consistently generates annual revenue exceeding 770 million, backed by lucrative broadcasting rights and long-term commercial deals with sponsors like Nike and Standard Chartered.
The "Sale Premium"
It is worth noting that "market value" and "sale price" are rarely the same. Following the sale of Chelsea FC for £2.5 billion (plus £1.75 billion in investment) and the partial sale of Manchester United at a valuation exceeding $6 billion, most experts believe any serious takeover bid for 100% of Liverpool would likely need to exceed $5.5 billion to be considered by FSG.
We are looking at a potential 1400% return on their tiny minuscule joke - laughable (were it not so corrupt) total commitment to Liverpool FC...which to date... stands at the princely sum of .....wait for it.....drum roll..... ......£300 million.
All made possible via a mate by the name of Bob Diamond...(look him up) But don't worry - there was nothing shady about it at all.![]()
