They can't do that SoG, because FSG will have the major stake. They'll have some say for sure, but they won't be hiring and firing anyone.
They can hire Suarez, Reus, and a LB though
I'm not adverse to multiple shareholders if that's the idea. I do have concerns over one major shareholder though.
It seems Chinese state companies have a thing for Liverpool and possibly see us as part of their 'football revolution' where vast sums of investment are going towards the game under Xi Jinping.
Arsenal aren't for sale, Chelsea have Abramovich, City have oil tycoons, Man Utd obviously aren't going to sell. That leaves Liverpool as the other lucrative name who could possibly be willing to do a deal with. I really don't know what the idea would be behind it all, and whether there is credibility to this.
The fact is Liverpool will always be attractive to investors. But you just don't want anyone - I remember some of the hysteria that followed Hicks and Gillett's buyout. I don't know, I just think foreign ownership is massively overrated these days - on a quick assessment of all clubs who have been bought out one time or another over the last few years, they seem to have done more harm than good to the national game.
Again, FSG aren't perfect but it's a case of once bitten, twice shy for me with regards to the ownership of Liverpool FC.
