It's not just Trump... It's also criminalizing abortion. That's a big issue that has lost Republicans a lot of votes.
Where is the "somewhere in between" option. I'd rather we keep slogging through with FSG for now. I think they've done wonders for us. But if we have to sell, I'd prefer another competent group like FSG... But if the options were clueless goons or sugar daddy oil... Sugar daddy oil is preferable.
Think we'll always be effectively in the shadow of Hicks and Gillet. One more of them and we'll be another Sunderland
Twitter is how we’re electing the next prime minister as well isn’t it, cos it’s full of sane people rather than trolls.
Btw a Twitter poll We've got a very active local and match going fan base and fan representation at board level. No oil states will be buying us.
seeking investment to grow by selling a stake of the club is not leveraged debt though is it. I might be wrong as I’ve not read everything but I’d guess that They’re going to sell a stake in the club for a sizeable number, some of which which can be pumped back into the club. Debt will remain low. If they don’t do this, the value of the club will stop growing and potentially decline as other clubs replace us. £2b for 40% of the £5b valuation, spent properly (and we’ll only see a quarter of it at most) gives you a decade of similar success to what we’ve witnessed for the last few years. Valuation of the club will grow and their £3b share turns back into a £5 or £6b share…..plus the 1.5b or so that they’ll withdraw from this exercise….it’s great business, everyone wins. The alternative is that the club doesn’t get the investment required and we fall back into fighting for scraps and the price of the asset falls. I might be wrong and they might totally sell out for the right offer but I’d wager that they’d want to be at the table if they’re handing Klopp hundreds of millions…..because they’re smart.
If they sell a stake, they're not going to put that money into the club. They've not done that before.
There was article online yesterday saying a Qatari investment Group had already agreed to buy the club (they also pointed out Dubai trying to). Won't believe any of it until I see something more concrete. Bound to be a bunch of crap flung before any truth is told.
I agree, Twitter poll is meaningless. I do suspect FSG would have made sure not to cripple themselves by letting fans veto selling of club. I'm sure their legal team made sure to not paint themselves in a corner so they couldnt sell.
Sos think they have something written into clubs articles of association. However the supported board on gets to attend meeting related to "fan facing" strategic issues. All fsg need say is ownership shouldn't affect fans and ignore them
of course they would. Why would they not maintain the value of the share they still own. It would make no sense to not put some back into the club at all.
Well guess what they did with red bird money? They effectively sold a stake in lfc to them. It was 10% of fsg but in effect why would red bird want anything but in to Liverpool. All the money went on pet projects for red sox and buying and ice hockey team Lfc didn't benefit one jot.
