Liverpool Football Club have revealed the staggering total of £15,669,000 attributable to redundancy costs for the recent financial year, according to theDaily Mail.
The vast majority of the costs, up until the end of the financial year in May 2016, were due to the sacking of former boss Brendan Rodgers who left the club just over a year into a four-year-deal.
Now at Celtic, the Northern Irishman received a figure in region of £7m when he was fired by the Reds after a draw with Everton in October 2015.
In addition to this, further reports confirm that the former boss could receive up to a further £5m from Liverpool depending on his future work situation - meaning that his departure accounts for the vast majority of the hefty £16m figure.
As well as that, the Reds revealed a near 25% rise in their total wage bill when financial documents were submitted at Companies House on Friday.
Wages in the previous season were £166.1m, with the likes of £110,000 per week Mario Balotelli accounting for a large part of the figure. The following year, however, the figure rose to a staggering £208.3m following the signing of £140,000 per week Christian Benteke & Co.
Similar to club record signing Benteke, Rodgers was ousted from the club following a string of poor performances which led the fans to believe that neither of the two were a good fit for the club.
After leaving Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp arrived to succeed Rodgers and immediately took the club to two cup finals that season - losing both.
The Reds aren't in Europe at the moment - or any cup competition for that matter - leaving them with only their league position and a battle to qualify for the Champions League next year to focus on.
A poor start to 2017 saw them knocked out of the top four but wins over North London clubs Tottenham and Arsenal allowed them to climb back up to third, where the teams around them have a game or two in hand.
