The only good thing about the release of those figures last week was that it brought home just how much the club has suffered since Tom Hicks and George Gillett took over.
The debt has got bigger and the chances of refinancing with the banks in a few weeks have to be very slim. But that might not be a bad thing.
Because I, like thousands of other Liverpool supporters, hope this will finally be the wake-up call the Americans need to convince them to get out as quickly as they can.
And if there is someone waiting in the wings to relieve them of this situation they have created, then happy days!
