I think you're either being thick on purpose or you are genuinely thick.

I didn't ask that question. I asked why you'd want to go to Qatar if you were LGBT+ You can get all offended if you like, but your apparent outrage is pretty pathetic.

Yes. And Qatar doesn't offer that. So why would you want to step foot in that country?

He's also made the point that we can't get transfers wrong. And that makes the most sense to me. FSG, and any business owners worth their salt, hate paying salaries for useless employees. But to sell is the method, but most peo0le don't seem to understand what that actually means. They give him a salary budget and of he makes the wrong signings, we're stuck with them until we sell someone to fee up the wages. Otherwise, their whole business model gets out of hand. And that's how most businesses fail. Too much expenditure on too many commitments.

My neither. I was just putting forward another possible group of equally appalled individuals with regards to your answer.

There are millions of footy fans who can't travel to a winter world cup, and a considerable number may also not have missed their country's games. Tough fucking titties.

If you are LGBT+ why on earth would you want to step foot anywhere near Qatar?

There is so much wrong with this post, I honestly don't know where to start.

It's not much use to them. How can it be? They're hardly here and the people they want to network with aren't going to go there either. Fenway is a different story.

I think having an iconic venue brings so much access which leads to unprecedented influence. I've been in the venue business for over 20 years, and nothing beats it for networking. And I don't think influence is solely about money. It's more about power, status, and the ability to 'win' over the competition. These guys are ultra competitive. Also, I don't think now is a great time to cash out of Liverpool unless: 1- they're worried we won't maintain CL football, or 2- they have better things to do with the cash now that the recession is hitting hard The whole idea of PL football is to wait until the TV rights go to the big-tech companies. That could double our value.

Not particularly. But I know at close quarters why very wealthy people buy franchises. And it's either access (indirect ROI) or asset growth (direct ROI). Red Sox gives them both. LFC doesn't. Anything I'm missing?

I'm off to to buy the domain

Red Sox gives the a whole lot more value than LFC. If you think the Red Sox is purely financial, then you don't understand the power of influence. LFC is purely financial now, because they did what they promised and nothing more will enhance their reputation any further in the business world. The opportunity cost is just not there anymore.

The Red Sox is lucrative, not just because of it's profitability, but also because of the unbelievable access it gives them. The don't get that at Liverpool. A local asset is completely different to something somewhere thousands of miles away, that brings them fuck all outside of asset value, but bad press from its supporters. It allows them to host, network, and leverage influence at every level. You're comparing apples with oranges here.

I didn't say they aren't selling. I said putting the club for sale has been done before. I'm also saying that this time it may be for real because of the upcoming recession, depending on how much cash they want versus how much they can get. That's how hedge funds work. Where is the money more useful? Hope that clears it up.

There may be. There just isn't yet.

I'm saying they do this every year.

VVD is fucking boss and most of the posts on here are batshit mental.

Depends who they buyers are, doesn't it? Saudi or an Abrahamovic type wouldn't give a fuck. And we're making an assumption there are buyers. There is absolutely no indication of this.

What have they publicly announced this time?

See my post above Edit - and read my original post again.

It's exactly what I said in my original post. Every hedge fund puts every asset for sale regularly because that's the ONLY way to determine it's real market value. Of course they'll sell if they make enough money. They would have done that every year since they bought us. The only reason they may consider it more tempting now is because those with cash over the next 2 years are going to make an absolute fortune while the rest of us practically starve to death.

Ok mate. You keep your fingers crossed and we'll see what happens.

Only one journalist set the wheels in motion and that is Ornstein. Every other piece is a copy of that.

Who announced it? Here is the FSG statement in full: "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."
