Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan has revealed the club have plans in place if they fail to finish in the top four and will continue with their development off the pitch to mitigate any financial consequences.
The Reds are ninth in the Premier League following a difficult start to the season. Jurgen Klopp's side are currently four points outside of the Champions League places and have already lost significant ground in the title race after winning just two of their opening seven league matches.
That gap could grow in October as they face a tough month that includes matches against Arsenal and Manchester City.
