Worked for Leipzig before and signed some of their current players for them.

It’s about fucking time that we get someone with a solid track record for spotting talents and getting them!
Not sure if irony or not

We sure as hell can spot them but we can’t get them for a myriad of reasons.
"BSJ: Given some of the activity surrounding Fenway Sports Group (FSG) and its various holdings (purchase of the Pittsburgh Penguins, rumoured interest in buying an NBA team, potential for sale of Liverpool or at least taking on additional investors), can you state with confidence that there are no plans to sell the Red Sox in the near future?
JH: Yes. I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC (Liverpool Football Club), but I keep to the facts: we merely formalised an ongoing process. Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won’t be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?"

Wont stop writers referring to the club having been “put up for sale” or referencing an announcement from the club (that doesnt exist) about it being up for sale.
Have a word. Ffs.

Always expected it would be investors, fine for me as long as some capital is made available for expenditure.

This is good, but shame he wouldn’t speak to us directly rather than sharing LFC info with Red Sox reporters

I think it was reported from the start that they’re prioritizing new investors rather than selling the club.
The rest, well, fans and media are crazy as always.
What did we think, that we’d have new owners over night ready for the summer transfer window?

Perhaps they just didn’t find a buyer willing to reach their valuation.

To my mind what people say is important, but what they do is most important. At face value we are looking for investment and we are talking to interested parties.
Several blanks to fill in there:
Did they not achieve the price they wanted for the whole lot? Per above.
Assuming it is a minority stake, and always was, will it be a minor stake in FSG? Or a minor stake in LFC as a separate subset of FSG?
If a minority stake, how minor? Lebron James token minority holding? Or 49%?
If a minority stake, will the stakeholder want to eventually own the whole club? And will they have the means? And will an arrangement be in place to progress to that?
If a minority stake, what guarantee will there be that the money sees its way onto the pitch at LFC? Rather than to shareholders? Or other sporting ventures such as the Penguins?
If a minority stakeholder is not on board before the transfer window, will that affect Klopp’s budget for, at the least least, the midfield overhaul we need?
