Considering that £95 mil comes from let's say 60000 people. I'd say they contributing more per head than said TV clappers.....

Still worth more to the club on the TV.. hence why the paymasters get to pick game times.

I'm sure Liverpool match goers would love a few more Saturday 3pms
 
Considering you "hardcore" fans only add 95 million euros to Liverpool's accounts and the telly clappers add 300 million you get what your given.

Shouldnt those "hardcore" fans who also pay full whack for Sky/BT get more of a say than just those telly clappers who sit at home "watching" and posting on social media simultaneously?

I'm certain all fans of PL clubs would love more 3pm games,for example getting to Newcastle or Brighton for a 1230 KO can be a trek.

Likewise asking Southampton Brighton Newcastle fans to do the same.

You are just a number to them. Sad fact.
 
Because it IS (specifically) allowed - provided owner funds it.
Actual allowable losses have varied over the years and there are proposals to change the rules still.

I thought the rules were in place to stop a billionaire buying a football club and pumping in money to try to make them successful. Probably need more info on which years the losses occurred as I imagine a lot of it was over the first few years of his ownership.

There were still limits to the allowed losses, though significantly larger. Here's an example. http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk/financial-fair-play-explained.php
Without delving, I'd expect your 'first few years' comment is likely correct.
