Fsg Sale

[KingCanny]

Just throwing this out there as it baffles me a bit. So Mo out on a free,Robbo too,Virgil off next summer,Allison possibly off. Slot,Hughes & Edwards out of contract in a year. No long term planning. Are fsg cutting the wage bill for a potential sale?It's the only way I can make sense of it. Bring down the squad age & have no staff on long term contracts. Pump up the value.

Except they just spent almost half a billion on new players last summer transfer window.

Not exactly the kind of thing you do when you're planning on selling the club soon.

Perhaps - if you want to talk
gross.. and despite that we would be 5th on gross for the last 5 years.

In reality - it was nothing like half a billion spent. Actually, not even half of half a billion. It was bang on the nose of £200 million…we sold Diaz, Nunez, Quansah, Doak and Trent for £207 million. £407 out £207 in.

And that came after a £27 million profit the summer before. So around £86 million across both windows…

…So prior to last summer, we were bottom of the top 6 in net spend (recording a profit in 2024), but the £400m+ gross last summer moved us up the rankings significantly to 5th.. And we were 10th in the net spend league for the 5 years prior to that.

And don’t forget - every penny is spent from what is left after loans plus interest payments are made on the infrastructure. So you could argue that IF they were to try and sell without last summers investment - accusations of neglect could be made after the best manager on the planet couldn’t fulfil his contract due to exhaustion - and walked.

I think there is a good chance that they are actively looking for a sale. However Liverpool FC is far and away their biggest asset. Not just in revenue terms but in gravitas. The leverage they have while owning us cannot be overstated.

I live in hope.

We never did hear how much the club received from Diogo’s life insurance policy.
To put it bluntly our first team players are very valuable assets and will be heavily insured

What do we think the club's valued at?

I think we'd garner an awful lot of interest, but I'd think only other US or City/Newcastleesque Arab owners are likely to be able to afford to purchase the club.
