Looks like the owners of Liverpool FC are looking for offers to sell, I wonder if our Joy could be interested and bugger off up there.

Mike Ashley was treding on twitter for a bit, mainly fans of other clubs hoping he was going to make a bid for Liverpool

I suppose sharing the CBS with Liverpool wouldn't be as bad as Wasps

They're talking about 3.5bn. Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi already have PL clubs leaving Qatar (heavily invested in PSG) and Dubai with the latter having tried before. Probably rules Sisu out ...

That was my only question. But I think so due to recent success. Also I meet a lot more foreign Liverpool fans from Asia and the Middle East than I do Man Utd fans.

Did you think FSG is a hedge fund? incorrect. Fenway Sports Group Holdings, LLC, is the parent group company of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, Premier League club Liverpool F.C., and the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins

They're owned by a hedge fund. See Peter Temple's book 'Hedge Funds: Courtesans of capitalism'.

In the same way Sky Blue Sports and Leisure are ultimately owned by SISU...

I have not read Temple's book but FSG are not a hedge fund nor are they owned by one. JW Henry (the founder) owns 40% and is the major shareholder. Chairman Tom Werner is the next largest shareholder. RedBird Capital Partners do have a significant (3rd largest) holding, but they are a New York based Private Investment firm and are primarily involved in Private Equity rather than traditional Hedge Fund business. The 4th largest holding is owned by Michael S Warner a Boston based Asset Manager. It seems that JWH wants to consolidate his business globally and expand it in the US. Not a question of hedge funds and toys. Hope that clears that up?

Would you be happier if my comment, which is rather less pithy (and it's not hedge fund avenue for SISU to own CCFC either) to say 'that's the majority shareholder, whose wealth derives from his hedge fund business, that therefore funds Liverpool's ownership through the conduit of his personal wealth gained from such activities, bored of his toy', then?

It's not so catchy!

rumour doing the rounds was TAA’s defending on Sunday was the final straw for the owners.

I know he is bad but to want to sell up thanks to a player being shit at defending is a bit OTT!

Not a question of "pithy" but more about accuracy. Your original comment was wrong and misleading, so I felt obliged to point that out. If you find that defensive, that is entirely your problem. Have a nice day.

I would laugh if SISU bought Liverpool [not that it would ever happen].........those fans would soon find something substantial to moan about.
