Liverpool confident they have not broken Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules

Liverpool expect to be cleared of any breaches of Uefa’s Financial Fair Play rules after it emerged that they would be quizzed for more information on their accounts.
The Merseyside club will be named alongside Monaco, Inter Milan and Roma as one of those clubs that must provide further detail to the governing body regarding their finances over the past three years.
As these clubs were absent from European competition last season, Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body will request talks about their financial health beyond the past 12 months.
Liverpool believe that such probes are part of the ongoing process, something they anticipated upon returning to European football.
John W Henry, the club’s principal owner, has been one of the most vocal supporters of the Financial Fair Play concept, consistently calling for its stringent application.

As recently as last spring – after publication of the most recent club accounts – Henry was reiterating his support for FFP so it seems inconceivable Liverpool would be in breach.
“We really don’t have Financial Fair Play, or at least people are not abiding by it,” Henry said in April 2014. “I’d love to think that Uefa can do and will do what needs to be done, but we’ll see.”
There is a possibility of Uefa winnings being withheld pending further investigations into club accounts.
Liverpool will be of interest because they have incurred significant losses of £49.8 million for the 2012-13 season, and £40.5 million for the previous 10-month period.
The club attributes much of those losses to the legacy of the former regime of Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr When Fenway Sports Group abolished Hicks’s plan to build a new stadium on Stanley Park they were writing off £39 million in the process.
Uefa’s FFP rules say losses must be no more than £35.4 million over the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons, but allow expenses such as on youth development and stadium costs to be written off.
Liverpool have invested in the club’s infrastructure over this period.
Uefa has been taking a strong line on FFP more recently, with Manchester City one of the most high profile to be punished.
They were fined £49 million and hit with restrictions on transfer spending and their Champions League squad size.
There has been a legal challenge to the FFP rules led by Belgian agent Daniel Striani lodged with the European commission.
