Concerning part is this, if they accept a Ā£3 billion offer which they entitled to do, I canāt see a new owner then ploughing more money into the team, it would leave us exposed to player sales, these inflated prices for clubs should concern everyone.
They do concern me, and they have done since uber rich foreign owners started buying into the Premier League.
We have no idea when or if FSG will sell, but reading between the lines, it looks like empire building rather than a fast quid.
I really don't know how I feel about that.
Liverpool is likely to be the Flagship club for any European expansion of the group, and as such, they'll want maximum exposure, which in turn means winning as much as possible.
I reckon these types of groups are going to become more common, with owners having one big club, and several (or many) smaller clubs, both as feeders and revenue generators.
Wealth always accumulates assets, and the trick then is to increase the worth of those assets.
This doesn't necessarily mean selling them once they reach a certain level, it can also mean clout, prestige and power.
Exactly the things billionaoires look for, because they cannot spend all the money they already have.
