Liverpool have endured a shocking start to their Premier League title defence, which will cause concerns <\/strong><\/p>\n

Liverpool spent close to \u00a3450m<\/a> over the summer on new additions, including the likes of Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n

So far, Arne Slot<\/a> has struggled to get all his new signings to gel, which has left the Reds trailing Arsenal by seven points and sitting in seventh place.<\/p>\n

The Merseyside club have now lost each of their last four Premier League fixtures, which will raise alarm bells as to where they could end up this season.<\/p>\n

However, TBR Football\u2019s<\/strong> head of football finance, Adam Williams<\/a>, and Kieran Maguire from Beyond The Back Four podcast have explained why missing out on the Champions League football wouldn\u2019t cause complete financial chaos at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> are well-equipped to deal with a season not playing Champions League<\/a> football, thanks to FSG\u2019s tightly run ship, according to Maguire.<\/p>\n

The Reds\u2019 American\u00a0owners have set up the club to ensure there is a strong stream of cash coming in through matchday and commercial income.<\/p>\n

In the last financial year, Liverpool earned \u00a3410m<\/a> from matchday and commercial income, which is the amount they are more or less guaranteed even before Premier League and Champions League prize money.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Merseyside club have a \u2018lot of leeway\u2019 in the event of missing out on the money from participating in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Explaining the situation on Beyond The Back Four, Maguire claimed: \u201cThey\u2019ve got an awful lot of leeway, Liverpool, because FSG run quite a conservative ship, so that they\u2019ve not incurred huge losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo one year out of the Champions League is something which they can deal with easily, two years is imperfect, if it gets to three, then you\u2019ve got a problem, but I think we\u2019re a long way off that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent expansion of Anfield, the new deal with Adidas, I suspect there will be a renewal of the deal with Standard Chartered as well. They will prime the pump very well as far as the money coming into the club is concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cChampions League participation, it\u2019s desirable but not essential, simply because Liverpool are such a well-run club on other issues that they can survive without it. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more of an issue for attracting players. Players want to be playing in the Champions League, especially off the back of a World Cup summer, whereby Champions League 2026\/27 will be fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool now face a tricky run of fixtures<\/p>\n

Life doesn\u2019t get much easier for Slot and Liverpool, who have a tough run of games ahead, including an away trip to the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Reds\u2019 next Premier League game sees them host Aston Villa, before travelling to face Manchester City.<\/p>\n

In between those two matches, Liverpool will welcome Real Madrid to Anfield in what could be a crucial decider of their fate in the competition.<\/p>\n

Then there are games against Sean Dyche\u2019s Nottingham Forest, an away trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham and a very interesting fixture at home to a high-flying Sunderland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have endured a shocking start to their Premier League title defence, which will cause concerns Liverpool spent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,162,32882,4884,179,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-534312","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-english-premier-league","11":"tag-fsg","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115454584419008671","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
