HazzaJet 252 Posted November 7, 2022 I’m very interested to see what happens to the clubs owned by oil billionaires in about 20 years time. Although it’s believed that our oil reserves will still last for about another 40 years, most countries are already trying to cut down on their fossil fuel usage as much as possible. Will probably still have enough money to run the clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've only gone public to bump up the price I think more than the super league failing... because some clubs seem to think that dream is still well and truly alive, it could be as much to do with how their own fans responded to that and the proposals of the rescue package for the EFL. As much as people enjoy slagging of Liverpool, they generally have a decent idea about what is right and wrong. Their fans have been overwhelmingly against those proposals not just because of how it may impact upon them, but also because how it would impact on other clubs. They are not that detached from reality. A cursory glimpse across such things on social media will find you plenty of plastic Man Utd, Man City fans who support the idea, but then they are watching most games on Sky so wouldn't make a difference to them.

dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted November 8, 2022 Interesting report on 5 Live this morning. They suggest that the sale is due to the Liverpool fans attitude to the Super League and its subs failure, but also because of the rise of Newcastle United who FSG think will take one of the 4 places every year in the near future.

DraytonBoy 151 Posted November 8, 2022 I think it's purely a business decision to cash in whilst Liverpool are still able to compete for trophies, they have an ageing first team and a re-build will take time with no guarantee of success. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,561 Posted November 8, 2022 It is a perfect example of the truth about the Premier League and the money it requires - that it is always too much and still never enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barham Blitz 653 Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Bought in for £300m or so 12 years ago. Now worth upwards of £4bn. I'd be tempted to cash in my chips given the need to radically overall the squad and the costs associated with maintaining a top 4 place in a division with 2 state funded clubs and Man United (should they ever get their act together.) I didn't think they were selling the whole club though - just offering shares for external investment ? But I haven't been paying too much attention to be honest - been a few years since I bothered myself with the goings on in the top six of the Premiership as it just depresses me about where the game is headed.
