      When they showed her on the American telecast of the match, Arlo White and Lee Dixon (and me) were at a loss for who she was.

      The only article link that came up when I googled it was from the you-know-where (I try not to use profanity). I didn't click but the link only mentioned she might be interested in Newcastle.

      On the podcast, the guy makes the point that PCP has more than enough money - well in fairness, there are plenty of people who have more money than John Henry and FSG - plenty of them.

      Wishful thinking by the anti-FSG crowd, seems to me.

      But they will sell someday, so I suppose this will continue until then. I don't think it's imminent, however.

      Well there has been no contact with Ashley over the sale and she was not invited by NUFC to the match, she was sitting alongside her husband ( both LFC) supporters & the Maragtet Aspinall who was invited by Rafa..

      So was she also a guest of Rafa with rumours she met in in his office after the match..

      Got to be some truth in this..

      She was involved with getting DIC (I meant DIC to takeover LFC) at the time when Hicks and Gillette were in charge, she's quite well known.

      I thought it was to do with Newcastle and not us?

      Amanda Staveley was invited to the game by non other than...

      Kenny Dalglish who is our current ambassador..


      One of the big questions that was repeatedly being asked by both media and fans was, who had invited her to the game?

      Tuesday morning has seen Clubcall report that their information is that the person who invited Amanda Staveley along to the game, is none other than former Newcastle manager, Kenny Dalglish.

      Dalglish is also of course a former Liverpool player, captain, manager, role at the youth academy (appointed by Rafa Benitez), ambassador, manager (again), and currently he is a Director at Anfield.

      Many of the more respected journalists covering Newcastle United were at pains to say Amanda Staveley wasnā€™t at the game as a guest of Newcastle United.

      Probably missed the boat on getting a decent price for LFC.  Should have bought at the bottom of the market not the top, or near top which it must be at now.

      I heard on the radio too that her interest was based towards Newcastle who are probably, financially, a great opportunity for an acquisition.

      It was my understanding she was at the match regarding a Newcastle buyout. Maybe she just wanted a laugh and turned up to watch the best comedy duo in town - The Matip and Lovren show.

      Liverpool owners slap Ā£1BILLION price tag on club as leading financier begins takeover talks
      Liverpoolā€™s American owners have slapped a stunning Ā£1billion price tag on the club after preliminary buy-out talks.

      Sunday Mirror Sport can reveal that leading financier Amanda Staveley, who has strong links to billionaires in the Middle East, made initial soundings about the clubā€™s availability on Sunday.

      Staveley, who runs PCP Capital Partners, a fund with global assets of more than Ā£28billion.

      She was at the 1-1 draw between Newcastle and Liverpool on a fact-finding mission - and has made previous attempts to acquire the Mersey giants.

      http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-takeover-amanda-staveley-price-11303882

      Don't believe it at this stage, but I wont lie in hoping it could be true.

      Pretty sure it's a takeover of Newcastle she's meant to be brokering. If it was us then why turn up at an away game? A game involving a team she's been linked to for months. She'd be at the United game next week if it was us.

      Be careful what you wish for. New ownership could result in less money being spent, even if they're richer than our current owners. They're going to want a return on their investment and not all owners see spending more money on the squad after spending it on the club, as a return on their investment. The last thing we want is owners who are genuinely out to milk the club rather than invest in it.

      I thought the same, although a good way to throw off the scent would be go to an away game I suppose. However, the sensible part of me thinks it is for Newcastle rather than the hopeful part which thinks they were being clever to throw off the scent.

      Yeah that's a fair shout if she's trying to be discreet.

      I didn't know she'd tried brokering takeover/investment deals in the past regarding Liverpool. Seems to be that the Mirror have found out about her history with takeover bids for the club and put 2 & 2 together and got 26.

      Newcastle is at least 4/5 times cheaper than LFC. With LFC, they would be Ā£1.5bn down just in buying it whle with Newcastle, they can get a proper team for less than Ā£1billion. and make them a force agai (they already have a great manager).

      I know what I would buy.

      I think this is non story.

      Think this has legs,
      why would a business woman of her standing want to invest in a club with a limited fan base, lets be honest here Newcastle utd  is hardly the global brand  and certainly doesn't hold up to being very successful in its entire history......

      Whereas Lfc on the other hand is quite the global brand and has a history of success other clubs can only dream of, not only that its value is far more likely to increase  with the potential of being one of the best club sides on the fooking planet.....with the right investments its possible LFC could make the likes of  PSG look like  F***ing  paupers.

      Perhaps a tad exaggerating but you get my drift, One BILLION Smackeroonies ?  sh*t thats a proper shed load and to be honest who's eyebrows wouldn't be raised at the Boston tea party....Ā£700m profit isnt a bad return after 8 yrs is it ?

      I reckon Linda's eye's will be fluttering as we type, and there will be definitely some twitching going on in J W's trouser department  !

      So F**k it I'm a new member of the Amanda Steveley supporters club  !

      LFC has the potential to be every bit as big as ManUtd in a commercial and revenue sense as it already has a massive fanbase around the world so its by far the better investment, even at Ā£1bn. Newcastle has a very limited fan base and would take a hell of a lot more work before you turned a good profit but for the budget investor it might make sense.

      Don't think FSG would have any problem offloading for the right price.
      Someone would have to stump up the cash though.
      Not sure how much credibility to give this, but it's deffo getting publicity.

      Think this has legs,
      why would a business woman of her standing want to invest in a club with a limited fan base, lets be honest here Newcastle utd  is hardly the global brand

      Neither was Man City though. In fact possible that Newcastle now are better supported than Man City were back in pre-Sheikh times.

      Have Liverpool fc reached their maximum value? If the answer of yes FSG will sell, if not then there's no chance of a sale.

      As far as The fans are concerned though......




      FSG can f**k off!

      If Liverpool have reached their max value the question isnā€™t why not sell, it would be why buy?

      I know f*** all about global business, but given the emerging markets and how much they love their football a billion quid will probably look cheap in about ten years time. If I had a billion quid I'd buy it in a heartbeat, which probably explains why I'll never have a million quid never mind a billion  :laugh:.

      Good point, but Reaching its max value under FSG to me means, it's not going to go up further without substantial investment in the team, something FSG
      wont be doing.
      Chelsea and City have overtaken us in income and revenue due to signing top well-known players thus drawing in more glory hunting plastic fans Ā£Ā£Ā£.

      The next owners may have to invest in the same way in order to "grow the franchise".

      But other than expanding the stadium further (not really possible right?) there isnā€™t really another avenue for raising more revenue without either raising ticket prices or selling more shirts (or sponsorships) and we are already a global presence. I just donā€™t see us as an attractive growth proposition as much as a mantle piece.

      Now if this is true, this does change things considerably in my opinion.

      If anyone could shed light, or insight on who she was the guest of that would turn things one way or the other. Still think she was there for Newcastle. Buy a club on the cheap and make it a big name is a simple way to cash in right now in my opinion.

      Sure Ashley isn't going to sell at rock bottom but the inflation rate of this league is ridiculous and as an investment of huge sums and relatively low risk then the Premier League looks incredible. Add in the fact that the pound is at an all time low, then to me things just look prime for mega money to be made. Not that I want that for any owner.

      Corbs could be on to something there. We will just have to wait and see. It was her who almost brokered the deal with DIC and that's why I can't and won't dismiss this until she either makes a bid for Newcastle or us.

      Bingo, give that man a prize, that's how big business works, its all about risk/reward and how much you are prepared to invest. That why you get Facebook, Microsoft, Google paying what seems like crazy money for smaller startups, but to them its cheap as it adds to their product portfolios and eliminates competition etc, plus they CAN invest more money to take the business to the next level, similar to how huge investment could propel us to the same level as Manure.

      Newcastle is at least 4/5 times cheaper than LFC. With LFC, they would be Ā£1.5bn down just in buying it whle with Newcastle, they can get a proper team for less than Ā£1billion. and make them a force agai (they already have a great manager).

      I know what I would buy.

      I think this is non story.

      It isn't all about money though with these gulf state investors.

      It's about power and status and there is probably more to be said in anyone owning Liverpool than Newcastle.

      Money is literally no issue for these people. They have a never ending supply of it. In the end they want status and recognition for political and cultural power and that is what draws these people to the game.

      Throughout the Gulf region you have the Princes competing with one another in who can out do the other by building the tallest building not only in the region but the world..

      Where were these Princes in the pre-FSG days when the club was on the market for Ā£300m?
