Hmm I am made to believe that FSG are cashing out of the club and a significant offer is being postulated from Middle East to make them whole.

There is a FZ LLC involved as a broker and my friend will play major role at the club if FSG do decide to sell.



Fingers crossed then I can become ITK. ?

All though I cant see any ME entity having interest in stumping up 7-8B in these times. Someone has not the memo.

Cafu posts cryptic message at 4.24am.

Has he been out on the sauce?

Make of this what you will.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - more likely he is in a different time zone from you.}

I practice in ME, and I can assure you, in these times, no ME king or prince has a spare 8B to buy LFC.

I don't know, though, and am not in the know, but my friend does run a company that works with acquisition and investment for a select few ME rich houses and remains adamant that one of his clients is interested in buying LFC. But won't give the name, citing some privacy law to a legal guy.

I would take it in jest but it's a rumour that has never died with FSG.
Oh, and he knows about all Man-City stuff, as he is close to that family, so I can't totally write him off and hence decided to share.
Also, just a deduction from my side - since he is using FZ LLC license I can be certain it's a Dubai based entity that wants to invest (if what he says is true).

It is a rumour on a rumours page.

Cheers, Cafu.

To be fair, you don't need cash to buy a club.

If they really wanted to, they could raise the cash. They might just need to sell off their other sport-washing projects.

A couple of hotels will suffice.

As someone who spent many years working in M&A in the UAE, it is not just Dubai that has FZ LLC. Each emirate does. For instance, in Abu Dhabi, there is the ADGM free zone, which most of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund vehicles (Mubadala, ADIC etc) invest via.



I still have a good couple of mates that work in some of the SWF entities in the UAE, and they all easily have the means to acquire Liverpool if they wanted to - I just personally don't think they are that key as it doesn't align with their current investment strategies!

Perhaps we'll see something on BBC or ITV with regards to FSG and LFC.

That's correct, Red. But my friend's entity is Dubai FZ based and I don't think they can work in other Emirates in UAE. Hence, I thought it's someone Dubai based.

As much as I've been sceptical about FSG in the past, overall they've been good owners, they've made mistakes and some bad decisions, but those mistakes don't overshadow the good work that has been done. The club is on a good footing financially and commercially, they got the rebuild of Anfield sorted, the club is in a far better place than when they bought it, I'd probably rather stick with them as owners than being sold to some random "consortium" who may not be as stable and savvy.

Cheers, Cafu.

It's certainly not a favourable economic climate for a sports team acquisition, unless it is a fire sale.

But, as always, would-be investors will be constantly kicking tyres on potential deals.

It actually wouldn't surprise me if FSG cash out soon. They want an NBA franchise and the NBA is going to expand, so this is a way to generate the money to go all in.

Thanks for sharing, Cafu. I posted a few weeks back asking if FSG might be looking to sell in the next year or two. Rumours like this keep popping up now, I can really imagine it happening sooner rather than later.

Wow, is this thread the record holder for the most initialisms ever used in one rumour? TY and GN
