Shrewsbury boss says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s call to rest his stars has cost club £500k

Shrewsbury boss Sam Ricketts says Jurgen Klopp’s controversial decision to rest his Liverpool stars has cost the League One club £500.000. Liverpool will face Shrewsbury Town for their FA Cup fourth-round replay after holding 2-2 draw at New Meadow. Ticket prices have been slashed to £15 for adults and £1 for kids and the tie is not televised so the visitors also miss out on a £75,000 FA live broadcast fee per club. Asked about the impact, Ricketts said: “It is huge. The revenue is vitally important for a club like ours who are self-sustaining. For someone like us if we are playing Liverpool’s first team you are generating up to £600,000 as opposed to £100,000. At a club like ours every penny counts. That is the biggest disappointment that we will lack revenue.”  Source- The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
