Again, that was a stake in FSG, not Liverpool.
Dubai is notably absent from that listâŚ
Notice Bahrain is too, just read a piece about Al Khalifa (apologies if spelt wrong)âŚapparently a massive Liverpool fan
I mean itâs not exactly a hot take, just listing nations states which already own high profile clubs.
Iâd breath a sigh of relief if that were true
Obviously more than just a fan holding a season ticket then if heâs able to negotiate deals with buyersâŚ
Whoever he is, needs to be put down and quickly.
They have been completely transparent about being open to it. Their clarifying statement on the back of the Ornstein story was just a restatement of what they had said several times before.
So would I, who would I argue with about politics?
Defers a lot of awkward questions from outside at the very least, but it is also a way to take some of your capital out. At this point FSG could probably sell a minority share for more than they paid for the club, plus a reasonable rate of return.
Typical Tory. Always thinking about yourself
That wouldnât be consistent with their modus operandi at least when it comes to Liverpool. Are they going to sell a stake, pocket hundreds of millions and then sit back and watch their asset underachieve due to lack of funding?
Itâs possible, but not probable in my opinion.
Depends on the deal structure but if retaining a stake they would want to have influence on running it in accordance with that remaining share of ownership wouldnt they?
The minority stake given up presumably could be split with some cash returned to FSG members and some going into the clubâŚ
Perhaps they see a way for us to be competitive in the future, just that the uncertainty around that being higher, hence cashing out some now and locking in a solid return on investment.
Got a $100 to so I have decided to take a 6 day vacation before I start.
Dear Conor,
Thankyou for your interest in purchasing Liverpool Football Club, however after a brief deliberation, you can get fucked.
Yours Sincerely
LFC
