Liverpool

Liverpool are going to be linked with a host of billionaire investors amid news FSG are prepared to sell. But cash isn't always king: ask the club's rivals.

FSG have certainly integrated those valuable qualities throughout their tenure on Merseyside, with the Reds almost becoming a footballing version of the Boston Red Sox over time. If the American owners do decide to sell up, Liverpool supporters should be mindful of whoever takes control. Since Sir Alex Ferguson left his post at Old Trafford in 2013, the Glazers have dedicated over a billion pounds to new players, yet the Manchester club haven’t won a Premier League title since his retirement. When Farhad Moshiri became majority shareholder in 2016, he was committed to spending for the Blues, who hadn’t previously known such wealth having operated under Bill Kenwright. The current owners are commonly associated with shrewd and efficient spending in the transfer market, which is why some fans believe new owners will deliver expensive signings in comparison. After 12 years on Merseyside, it seems Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are willing to consider selling their prized asset for the first time.
