Hey Ed's,
May be a bit off topic. Just wanted to know if fsg still looking to sell shares or possibly even the club, there was a talk about this few years ago and nothing seems to have developed. Are they stilll looking for sell?
Many thanks
I m happy with fsg but still aware that net they have not spent much. need good backing this summer regardless we sell Nunez jota etc.
{Ed001's Note - they are looking for investment.}

Even if we were owned by someone with infinite money who loved wasting it and wanted to spend 600bn a year. he can't. There's literally rules which state nobody can spend more than they earn.
If we want to spend more, got to earn more. That means more overseas commercial tours. More corporate boxes at anfield. More sponsors etc.
The old way of sugar daddies piling money in is now illegal in football.

That’s not true though Nevada, clubs can lose £105 million over a 3 year period so they can’t only spend what they earn, they can lose money every season within reason.

Ed001, would that investment be in FSG, or would they consider investment in Liverpool specifically?
{Ed001's Note - either or. They just want funds to work with.}

I know the guy at JPM here in New York that's working on the deal. They are looking at investment specifically in Liverpool.

FSG is looking to expand their sporting portfolio and has been actively looking for another Football Club in Europe (possibly Malaga) .
There will be no great investment in Liverpool this summer from outside sources. There are parties interested in buying LFC outright, but FSG has shown no interest in selling the club outright.

Thunderbird - if a club lost money ‘within reason’ every season then it would cease to exist pretty quickly. The £105m over 3 seasons is a maximum value and not something to actively aim for.

Actually think you will find quite a lot of clubs lose money within reason every year. Also the 105m excludes a fair few bits aswell so you can lose even more than this. Keep on printing!

The richer the owner the more money the clubs seem to make ?.

Clubs operate at a loss but have an asset value that exceeds that loss.
FSG bought Liverpool for £300m and could sell for £3b
That’s called, regardless of year on year operating costs…a profit.
It’s a significant ROI.

Word is FSG has developed stronger relationships with investors/ sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East over last few years with interest in multiple sports.
Don’t be surprised to see more investment vehicles like Dynasty being set up to facilitate Middle East investment.

That's true thunderbird but the point still stands, it doesn't matter how rich your owners are the days of piling money in are over.
