[Football] For Sale, one soiled football club.

Prior to the current car crash, didn't the Liverpool fans love John Henry and FSG?

I thought they were in a slightly different camp to the glaziers etc, i.e capitalist yanks but with decent investment and infrastructure.

I once spotted John Henry at box at the Boston Red Sox, I was in the crap seats looking in. He was living the dream with a hot wife (at least 30 years younger) sipping on a cold beer whilst people were running around looking after his kids.

Who is going to buy LFC? No American will. They might have quite a difficult job to get out of this one quickly and that could impact LFc's finances , certainly in the short term.

 

[StonehamPark]

Do Liverpool have the best Brazilian player in the premiership?.

For me?, no.

Good stuff

Well, they understand leveraging debt. Not sure if that's the same thing as making money or creating value
Q
"Most of the capital used by Glazer to purchase Manchester United came in the form of loans, the majority of which were secured against the club's assets, incurring interest payments of over £60 million per annum."

I

Exactly this. Now they can crawl back into their scummy little leverage hole.

Bollocks! The club is fine. The manager is fine (Klopp spoke out against the ESL). The players are fine (see statements by Milner and Jordan Henderson, strongly against the ESL). The fans are fine. The owners are shit.

If Liverpool can get rid of the owners and dispatch them back to the financial gutters of the States where they belong (admittedly it will cost them a lot, because the American shysters will milk it all the way) their reputation will be enhanced rather than tarnished.

Right-o. All those Liverpool fans out on the streets on 25th June last year must have been protesting against FSG ownership. Good on them, I say.

If these clubs actually have the fan numbers that they claim then they could all club together and buy it for about a quid each. That's be an interesting test of the true value.

..... and some Brighton fans wouldn't have done just the same in the same circumstaces? Get real!

No they couldn't, any more than we could all club together to buy out TB for a quid apiece.

Not knowing which league the club is in, you sound like the type of fan who would be attracted to the ESL.

A quick search of how many supporters Man U claim to have throws up a BBC article from 2013 referring to a reported 659million adult fans around the world. I was making a reference to how ridiculous these figures are.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Oooh, I do hope they struggle for a buyer like Mike Ashley at Newcastle who been up-for-sale for 10 years now.
During which time they have mostly been sh1t.

It would be brilliant for the EPL if the "big-6" [or at least some of them] lost their footing [money-bags owners] over this ESL debacle and came back down to the other 14's level-ish
EPL could become like the Scottish prem - a 2-horse-race and all the other clubs look upon 3rd place as the real target.

Maybe ....

 

[Weststander]

FSG are reportedly putting Liverpool up for sale, as the fallout from the now defunct ESL continue.

Still waiting for the link from a reliable source.

A present just Collymore and some twatter gossips who pretend they’re ITK on football matters.

 

[RexCathedra]

Nothing in the Boston papers as of 05:20 GMT re FSG selling out....

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Possibly a bit of both but mostly, I should imagine, because their continued ownership is now completely untenable. They've made one of the most respected clubs in world football into a complete laughing stock. Shambles.

Football: you either 'get it' or you don't. And 'getting it' is nothing to do with simply understanding the Laws of the game.

I think that most people with any knowledge of football and how it works will realise that it isn't Liverpool FC who are a complete laughing stock, but merely the club's owners.

A club is all about it's supporters, (or should be), and for me Liverpool's fans, love them or hate them, are amongst the best in the world.

An apology from John Henry https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...es-to-liverpool-fans-for-super-league-attempt

With the £500m they recently raised, I can't see FSG going anywhere. - They'll bring in Clint Dempsey to take over from Klopp and build from there....
