Elon Musk?

He could hopefully deport all their fucking cultish supporters into space which would be a massive plus for the planet.

I can't believe this has come as a surprise, you'd have thought that Trent would have seen this ages ago.

We need to start a rumour Mike Ashley or Michael Knighton are buying them.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Given their fanbase would that not make them UK state-owned?

I don't think you can have a criminal record and pass the Fit and Proper Persons ;)

Not sure how this is funny/good news..?

Well it's bad news for the global asthma inhaler business, that's for sure. Stock market down 25% today.

I imagine.

I believe Hicks and Gillett are after buying a club

They're going all out to beat the rags page total this season again.

It's a bit like getting to the Simod Cup final.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I want them to crowd fund and be owned by their shitty fans. What could possibly go wrong!

Aldo as CEO?

FSG have seen the writing on the wall. Liverpool did not prove to be the cash cow they expected.

The club has limited potential for growth without serious investment - having backed the cheap option to extend an outdated stadium with no scope for development. Their club and fans are disliked to the extent they are finding it hard to attract new interest. Everything about them is ageing, including their history.

It is hard to make a business case to justify a premium price when the competition grows stronger offering more scope and options. Buyers will not want the baggage of Heysel and Hillsborough let alone the fanbase. It could prove a harder sell than FSG anticipate.

It said on SSN before that they turned down a £3bn offer in April, so they will clearly make a significant profit on their initial outlay. The question is whether or not the club is worth more or less now than that £3bn?
