If you forward me your account number and sort code by cousin in Nigeria will do the rest.

Is this because Linda wants a new yacht? I suppose the old fart figures he's going to die soon might as well cash in his chips.

Be interesting if we get taken over by oil money. We've been on our high horse about Chelsea, City and Newcastle for a while now.

Sell it to the fans, just need some fans to set up an investment vehicle so that fans can buy shares. I'll do it.

If we all invest 5k through PayPal then that might be enough to buy …a bit..? and make PayPal even richer…?  hang on I’ve not thought this through.

I'm pretty sure we'd be far more vocal in our disdain for such potential owners. We wouldn't roll out the welcome mat at the very least

[clockspeed]

What benefit did we see with the red bird “investment” . Get that FSG need return on their  investment but it would seem they are “shorting” portions of their ownership. Doesn’t feel like a long term i.e next 20 years strategy. Would not be surprised if they were minority share holders by the time Jurgen’s contract runs out .

Either FSG read this thread or don't fancy a sterling based investment in a fucked economy . Add to that the team is probably past it's best and requires an expensive overhaul with the increasing likelihood of no CL money next season.

 

I think we can definitely forget Bellingham and who knows what Klopp will think of all this. I would be amazed if he knew about it before we did.  FSG are complete cunts for dropping this bombshell  but most of us probably knew this       

[coachpotato]

Hope King Charles buys us, he must be worth a good few bob, then we can be called Real Liverpool.

Liverpool’s owner Fenway Sports Group has enlisted major investment bankers to establish the club’s value as they look for new investors.

 

Although the Boston-based group expects to remain in control of Liverpool for the foreseeable future it has confirmed they are seeking new shareholders ‘in the best interest of the club’.

 

The major investment banks - Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley - are overseeing any proposals which may be put to FSG, who have been engaged in pitching the merits of outside investors buying an Anfield stake for several years.

 

The latest developments are understood to be exploratory, to assess how much appetite there is to buy shares in Liverpool and ascertain what valuation that would put on the club. Chelsea were recently sold for £4.3 billion, and the FSG move could be interpreted as a direct reaction to establish what Liverpool could fetch on the market. 

 

In the short-term, at least, there is no expectation of Liverpool being thrust into a bidding war. Nor are FSG well-advanced with a choreographed exit strategy.

 

Having just tied down manager Jurgen Klopp to a new long-term contract - and with the construction of a new Anfield Road stand nearing completion - the club’s owners will reassure their manager that he should not anticipate a new owner any time soon.

 

Klopp’s relationship with FSG - especially the president Michael Gordon - was fundamental to him signing the new deal last April.

'FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool'

In a statement issued on Monday, FSG said they are aware of interest in the club and are open to discussions about diluting their shareholding.

 

The statement read: “There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.  

 

“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.

 

“FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”

Principal owner John W. Henry has been open about Liverpool’s keenness to find external investment since his Anfield buy-out in 2010. There have been numerous meetings with interested third parties over the course of 12 years, many of them lacking substance, which is why the club is delegating responsibility to assess the authenticity of expressions of interest to the banks.

In March 2021, FSG sold a 10 per cent share of their entire portfolio - which also includes the Boston Red Sox - to RedBird Capital Partners for £543 million.

 

Given the financial challenges of competing at the top of the Premier League and Champions League, Liverpool want more.

I will have a dig down in to this, but those sort of numbers are pure fantasy!

 

580 million supporters from a global population of 7.8 billion would mean that one in every 14 people support Liverpool!

Yeah they are huge numbers but if you Google Hogan and 580m fans you will soon find his comments. If they are selling the club I imagine they will be quoting a much higher number to pump up the price.

Why don't we just get PayPal to buy us?

[m0e]

1- this same story comes out every 2 years. Hedge funds always use real life offers to value their assets

 

2- there are no oil states left to buy us

 

3- there is a massive recession coming and 2023/24 is going to be really fucking hard for most people. These are the times when cash rich fuckers get even richer, so it could well be a play to free up some cash to invest in undervalued shares and assets

The more you read the more you think that FSG realise we need serious investment now and don't want to/can't move the money from elsewhere and so will sell part of the club to fund it. 

They maintain control of the club and its value roses and the people coming in see an increase in their share value. 

Seems like the Redbird deal again but in the club instead of the holding group.
