Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp concedes missing their Champions League qualifying cash could be a problem this summer.
It's predicted Liverpool face a 50m hole next season after missing the top four.
Klopp said: "It has to. We all think like that. This is not the season we want. We know that for a while.
I really think this was not a season we will talk about. Yes we failed to give the people more to enjoy but we had our moments.
It would have been a 'normal' season if we ended up fourth, not great but still qualification for the Champions League, but that is the big disappointment.
I am here for seven and a half years it is a really long time and that things always go in the right direction is not likely, there are dips. Usually after three years you change manager. It is a really good thing I am here for that long but a challenge as well as you have to invent yourself new, that is what we started now, and that is super-exciting.
In a difficult year I felt the unity between us and the supporters, it is so important people really appreciated it.
This season was not great and from a financial point of view that is actually the only problem but a big problem in football.
But we have European nights next year but instead of Tuesday or Wednesday it's a Thursday. Who cares?"
