Liverpool fans haven’t been afraid to voice their concerns about the running of the club over the last few years.
The general consensus around Merseyside is that the Reds have edged closer and closer to being run as a business, not a football team, with the concerns of the shareholders taking priority over the supporters.
That has now been all but confirmed by the‘CIES Football Observatory’ – a research group in Switzerland, as brought to our attention by the Mirror – who have it that Liverpool are officially the biggest selling club in Europe.
The good news, therefore, is that they have made £379million since 2010 by selling the likes of Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling.
And, as goes without saying, the bad news is that it’s clearly had an effect on the football, as their squad has gone neglected and they have struggled to compete.
Tottenham were the next biggest selling club in the Premier League, thanks largely to the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid in what was then a world record transfer.
