Possibly owned by the Saudis and Qataris. Beautiful!


A joint Saudi-Qatari partnership is "planning" to offer Fenway Sports Group in the excess of £4bn to acquire ownership of Liverpool Football Club, according to reports from the Middle East.

The Reds' American owners had "held talks" with two Middle-East-based consortiums over a potential takeover of the club, Jordan-based publication Albawaba has claimed that former Saudi Arabia international Saeed Al-Owairan has publicised plans for a possible Saudi-Qatar combined offer for Liverpool.

Speaking on the Egyptian programme Remontada, Albawaba verified that Owairan confirmed the construction of a partnership between the two Middle-Eastern countries. However, no additional details were revealed on how a potential bid for the 19-time league title winners (1 time PL winners) could look.

Saudi-Qatari partnership 'planning' to offer FSG £4bn to buy Liverpool

Liverpool have been linked with a whole host of suitors since FSG opened up to a potential sale of the club last month

Recently had to go to a Neurologist,so obviously a smart chap, eventually got talking about football, he supported the dark side from when he was a kid in India ( no I didn't ask him where he was from,he volunteered this)Has been in the U.K.for 15yrs working in Dipperland,and was really surprised and amazed at the cult like hatred the Dippers have for other teams,and complete lack of self awareness of any failings in themselves.He obviously to professional to give a diagnosis on them ,but I got the distinct impression he considered their mentality is suspect.

A Saudi/Qatari takeover would be too good to be true. I’m afraid life rarely gives you these gifts, but you never know.

The mental gymnastics would be a sight to behold. The desperate scrambling to find an obscure point of differentiation would be beyond hilarious. It already is from some quarters. The state owned distinction being a case in point already, even though as a matter of law and fact, we aren’t.

It’s already started in the press. Think we’ll see the true colours of the paid shills if this becomes reality.

These are a far better investment than united btw. For lots of sound business reasons.

A big hurdle for the rags is that massive crumbling stadium. No new owner wants their first job to be spending half a billion quid on a new ground.

One of the big attractions to Mansour was our brand new (at the time) stadium.

Liverpool makes so much better sense to buy than Salford FC.

The rags have a lot of space on their car parks it they wanted to go down the Spurs route of building a new stadium around the current stadium and then knocking it down. City have been fortunate to have the extra land around the Etihad to build things like the new arena which will provide more money into the clubs coffers.

Fenway sport went for the cheap route, they didn’t want to build a new stadium and instead extended two stands. This is as probably as far as Liverpool can go on infrastructure spending to boost revenue. What they have now is all that any new owners will get, they will have to look at ways of shafting more money out of the commercial side of things to grow the club.

Yes, the stadium is one of the main obstacles. Also the opaque nature of united’s accounts, their anachronistic footballing infrastructure (especially the training and youth set ups) and the amount of dead wood in the club make them a riskier investment, especially as I suspect the Glazers’ disposal may be under a little duress and they will need a huge payout to get themselves out of the shit financially. Anything less and they may as well keep milking the cow for all its worth.

About 15 years ago didn’t Liverpool and Everton float the idea of building a new stadium and sharing it? I remember it being on North West Tonight.

Obviously was never going to happen but taking rivalries and emotion out of it, it would make the most sense.

Clubs in Europe do it successfully don’t they.

Yeah they did in Stanley park, Everton long term will have a much better stadium than Liverpool which would make them attractive to new owners. Ground sharing seems to be a lot more common in Italian football with the Rome and Milan teams as notable examples.

So much so, they wanted to knock it down and build a new one
