Sheikh Jassim's Next Move: Anfield in Sight?
Following a surprising twist in the top-flight football takeover narrative, Sheikh Jassim, once a prominent figure in the pursuit of Manchester United, has reportedly shifted focus towards Liverpool FC. The Qatari magnate's interest comes after his foundation, Nine Two, retracted their attention from the Red Devils, stirring the...
FSG (Fenway Sports Group) have had several parties ready to make very big offers in recent months but nobody was willing to reach the £4.5 billion ceiling required for John W Henry to part ways with Liverpool FC.

Ever since the news broke on Monday that as many suspected Liverpool is ‘prepared to listen to offers’, social media has understandably gone into overdrive. Whatever the ‘sales deck’ Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have created contains, it’s hard to imagine FSG will be short of...
It was always inevitable that FSG would sell the club sooner rather than later, but the key point is to understand the timing of their ‘For Sale’ sign and statement, and what has led the Boston-based consortium to choose now as the moment to cash in.
