[Football] Liverpool FC up for sale

[raymondo]

The Saudi’s will be gutted, should have waited a year.
There will be serious interest in Liverpool. Let’s see where the scousers morals go when a petro state start waving £billions about……..

Surely the Saudis can afford more than one club

Who can compete with national wealth funds from oil rich states ?

PL rules forbid more than 10% ownership of more than one club though……

Thank you, good research . So technically could they own 10% of all the other clubs then? (Hope the rafting was good )

On basis you would not get a wealthy British business person buying aa American football team because they know nothing about the sport Why do Americans buy PL clubs.

Well, the Glazers would say money.

The Glazers have taken approaching a £billion in terms of dividends, share releases etc. out of Man Utd - I suspect that has tempted a few in...

more than one Saudi prince, corporate vehicle...

 

[Dr Q]

North Korean Investment Group perhaps?

 

[Springal]

Pretty much every club is up for the sale, in full or partially for the right price I’d imagine. FSG are an investment vehicle so makes sense especially having seen what Chelsea sold for they might be interested in a return!

Surely there's another investment group in Saudi Arabia (which defintely doesn't have ties to the Saudi state) who can buy them.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Jim Ratcliff and Ineos seem desperate to own a football team.

Yeah but a different family member could but them.

 

[Lenny Rider]

What about a Nigerian Prince? They've always got a few quid knocking about

 

[dejavuatbtn]

The right coloured shirts for blood money.

We seem to have read headline not whole article. Every chance they are looking for more investors rather than selling up. Real situation quite opaque though.

 

[Zeberdi]

Oh heaven forbid … !!

 

[EliasTaproot]

Which nation state is going to come in for them then? Qatar? Or does owning PSG forbid that?
