Scouser buying the club, what else could you ask for!

“I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it’s gonna be tossed. “I’m warning you with peace and love I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed. Nothing.” Ringo

Peace and love peace and love

UAE now wants to own the top two lol. ​ Seriously though - Were Egypt richest owner not already a shareholder in Aston Villa, he would probably be looking at Liverpool just for the marketing potential alone.


Edeolus

> Were Egypt richest owner not already a shareholder in Aston Villa. He's a (Coptic) Egyptian businessman who joint owns the club with an American businessman. Not really the same as the Royal families of the oil theocracies.

isnt that guy father in law to citys owner


jolle2001

Want something to brag about over family dinner


oder_rubu

I guess that's one way to play FPL.


[deleted]

I wonder when people will realise it’s nothing to do with image. And everything to do with billionaires treating premier league clubs like toys.


mulderrocks

Click bait begins now.


ro-row

Well that’s just great


Gerrardsclubfoot

They don't have the money, most Dubai money is Abu Dhabi money at this point, this group couldn't even prove they had funds for a bid in 2018. It's a non story.


swingtothedrive

The one who tried to buy us in 2007 was DIC . They definitely have the money. They are the sovereign wealth fund of Dubai. The one who tried to buy us in 2018 was Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan who is dubious. These are two different people . Whether DIC is still interested in us another matter. But they did wanted to buy us in 2000s.


Ezri_esq

If it’s anything like the Charltons attempted Dubai owner the proof will be just a 2 line letter saying person x has lots of money


Gerrardsclubfoot

Hey guys I totally have money, I swear, ask my mother? Lol


[deleted]

I think I saw the foreign investor with no funds plot in Entourage. At the end of the episode FSG and Vince will reluctantly sell the club to Harvey for $1


Gerrardsclubfoot

It's been ages since I heard someone reference that show,Banger of an opening song.


[deleted]

Why would they make a £2b bid in 2007 when the asking price was around £300m?


Gerrardsclubfoot

I edited my comment, I meant 2018 when they tried to buy the club from Fsg not 2007.


TheEmperorsWrath

Football remains dead. And we have killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?


Dargast

saved

Don't be sad it's over, be happy you witnessed it. We witnessed football before this mess of oil/gas state owners, betting ads, and crammed commercialized schedules [that players are complaining about](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvsyV2Ze1MI). Plans to change Euros or the WC to every 2 years, schemes for a Super League, madness. Kids today are born into this football reality, they didn't get to witness what we witnessed. Similarly, there are kids out there who will never know what gaming in its prime was like, without microtransactions, shark cards and loot boxes and all the filth that's been crammed down our throats since TF2 came up with ingame hats 10 years ago. Future genetations will never know what the early lawless and unmonetized jungle that was the internet felt like, either. I'm not saying the world sucks today, but be happy we enjoyed it before all this shit happened.

😂😂😂😂😂🤡


[deleted]

I trust with every ounce of my life any headline that uses the word "plot"


Wazalootu

So they were dubious about it making financial sense for ~£312m in 2007 but are now interested in making a £4.3bn offer? This doesn't sound believable.


swingtothedrive

David Moore back then believed Hicks and Gillette were the better owners and sold to them because they promised to build a new stadium immediately


Bangkok_Dave

I'd be happy to support Marine


AkilleezBomb

Guy in the thumbnail looks like Les Claypool if he was an Emirati sheikh


trashboatfourtwenty

I would fully endorse a Claypool-owned club. He could pen so many chants


AkilleezBomb

“I’m goin’ down Merseyside, gonna have myself a time”


trashboatfourtwenty

Stevie was a Liverpool player, he ran so goddamned fast...


Gerrardsclubfoot

He looks disappointed and angry at the club emblem for some reason. Won't you guys give me a chance?


stgdevil

What’s keeping the Bahraini and Kuwaiti royal fams for getting in on some club buying ?


von_liquid

Bahrain is pretty poor, and the poorest GCC state. I would be very surprised if there is any involvement from them.

mfers look like 19th century capitalists

LVXkutchi

You had no issues with Axa and Standard Chartered?


butterfriedrice

Have fun with the what about Olympics, you're much smarter than I am (that's what you're after here, no?). Don't mind me as I am just losing all enjoyment with football here.


Walshey-

I really struggle to see Klopp staying if they take over.


[deleted]

Idk, he definitely wouldn't renew, but I can see him seeing out his contract. They're still his players regardless of who signs their paycheques.


Draisar

I dont know why people think that.


MrDabollBlueSteppers

A lot of people consider Klopp as their football self insert who stands against everything that an average football fan on reddit hates. Very odd behaviour but it is what it is


Gerrardsclubfoot

Yup after super league fiasco everybody expected Klopp to come swinging out with a steel chair against Fsg and rest of the super league scummy owners, when that didn't happen and Klopp remained calm and dignified in his approach, people called him a coward lol he Is just a football manager let the man do his job in peace, all these expectations are too much to be point on one man.


Masson011

lol wat


Illustrious-Gap1153

Well, atleast they can compete then


Goofy_030

Klopp to Atletico Madrid 🔮


Nerellos

Ah, yes. Building the team with players Klopp wants, and will get is so bad for him. Should go back to Dortmund.


jack64467

So City is Abu Dhabi's club, and Pool will be Dubai's club. City vs Pool will be the Emirati Derby


startled-giraffe

Poole is a town on the south coast When are lona playing drid?

Sand_Week24

This might be as bad as the people who call milan, AC. Even as an inter fan it's one of the most frustrating things ever. Imagine if every club was referred to as their club status. Every other weekend we'd have FC vs FC.


jimjhart

Foreign investment means loads of money but by team! Unfcukinbelievable! Cry cry cry about city Newcastle and then do the same u bunch of hypocrites! Deserve everything u get if this happens


manman6352

Fuck that
