The big chunk of money they were in line for when joining up would have helped the debts they had racked up. The super league is dead in the water as far as the premier league is concerned with the legislation put in place to stop clubs joining it.
As for Liverpool who would buy them? Someone raised a very good point before that the rags would be better value for money when you would be putting north of £4 billion in. There’s no area for growth around the ground for infrastructure, they don’t have the largest arena in the U.K. being built which puts money into City’s coffers when it’s open. A buyer could save a lot of money buying other clubs and realising their potential which is happening at Newcastle. What a joyous day yesterday was when they announced basically they were chucking the towel in as they’ve ran out of ideas.
