I think turnover last year was around £100million, and figures for last year (i.e 2003 as a year, not a season) that were recently produced by an analyst in the City of London show that Liverpool were the 8th richest team in the world, with Arsenal at 7th and Man UTD at 1st.
This is down from Liverpool at 5th the previous year.
The figures were based on turnover/revenues.
Liverpool are a private holding but analysts can still get a good idea of turnover as UEFA and the Premierleague publish the amounts of monies given to the clubs and gate receipts can be very accurately estimated.
We are doing ok, but an increase in capacity and regular CL football would probably put us back up in the top 5 or 6.
Currently UTD, Milan, Juventus, Bayern, Arsenal, Madrid arer ahead of us (there's someone else there that I can't remember) and while we had a greater turnover than Chelsea last year, the figures don't take into consideration money coming out of someone's pcoket, liek Abramovich, Motti or Berlusconi.
