Eds, was just reading about Lovren getting his new contract and saw some of the various weekly wage packs that are floating around lfc and the premiership, which for some reason got me thinking about prior to the new sky deals how clubs found themselves in massive financial debt.

I suppose I'm referring to lfc and indeed the situation that man united are in after the glazers bought them.

My question/ questions are should clubs have much financial debt nowadays (bearing in mind new sky deals) and I know eds in general dislike commenting on this topic, but financially, for want of a better word, how healthy are lfc and Man U ATM?

Thanks eds.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United have a far, far higher income than Liverpool but are still servicing debt of old. LFC still carry a lot of debt.}

Man UTD have a lot of debt but because of their massive revenue each season they are able to service their debt with ease.

Liverpool on the other hand rely on FSG pumping money into the club each season which is not good for them and neither is it good for LFC.

Without getting into specifics Ed002, how long can a club like Man United go with such old debt? Surely they have to pay it off at some point and can't go on leaving it unpaid?

{Ed002's Note - It is not unpaid. They are servicing their structured debt - it is not an issue at all.}
