The debt didn't come from player transfers Its the cost of some Americans buying you in a manner that means they don't have to put their own money in.
Although you could argue our most successful spell has been under the Glazers ownership which in turn means having the debt!

Lol. Even Arsenal have succeeded in one of the two!!!
Liverpool lol
But they are going to win the Prem this year tho of course.
Joking aside - I do think Liverpool will win a cup this season.

It's a ridiculous amount of money that 25% may go for, that must surely go a long way to clearing some of the debts,
Step number one to being bought out tbh
