Liverpool will hope to avoid any sanctions by writing off a big chunk of losses as allowable stadium expenditure.
The 2011-12 accounts reported that £49.6m was associated with Liverpool’s stadium costs, £35m of which was related to the aborted plan to build a new home at Stanley Park.
UEFA’s FFP rules say losses must be no more than £35.4m over the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons, but allow expenses such as youth development and stadium costs to be written off.
Meanwhile, Rickie Lambert has asked Liverpool’s conditioning team to intensify his training regime in an attempt to kick-start his Anfield career.
The England striker made his first start since his £4m move from Southampton in Tuesday’s Capital One Cup win over Middlesbrough and was made captain. But he was substituted in the second half.

Lambert, 32, has been a bit-part player so far and believes
a lack of time on the pitch has hit his form. He said: ‘I wasn’t happy with my
performance, so that overshadowed the honour of being captain a little bit. I
didn’t feel as sharp as I want to feel. That’s the main thing I want to look at
going back into training.
‘I want to get my match fitness up because obviously
everyone knows I’m not playing every game, so I have to adapt now. I’m going to
have to do more, so my fitness is up to the same level as everybody else.
‘It’s my sharpness and my fitness which I need to get on the
training pitch and start improving. I do work, push myself to the limit, but
maybe I am going to have to go to the fitness coach and see if I can do more.’
