\t\tLiverpool’s owners are in talks to sell a stake in the club\t<\/p>\n
Liverpool FC\u2019s former CEO Peter Moore believes the club\u2019s owners may be preparing to sell up but has poured cold water on talk of Jeff Bezos buying into the Reds.<\/p>\n
Fenway Sports Group is in talks to sell<\/a> a minority stake to former QPR co-owner Amit Bhatia \u2013 a process some reports have suggested could lead to the Americans\u2019 exit from Merseyside.<\/p>\n Moore, who ran Liverpool from 2017 to 2020, pointed to the advancing years of FSG chiefs John Henry and Tom Werner, who are both in their mid-70s.<\/p>\n \u201cI am in my 70s and let me tell you, when you hit 70, you start looking at things a little differently,\u201d he told the Blood Red podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cYou go: \u2018OK, what is my legacy going to be? How does my estate look? What am I leaving behind for people?\u2019 It sounds somewhat morose but that is how you have to think. It is the responsible thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n FSG paid just \u00a3300m to buy Liverpool 16 years ago, meaning they could cash out with a huge profit<\/a>. Moore added: \u201cIt may well be that you have a club now that is worth \u00a34.5bn.\u201d<\/p>\n Why Jeff Bezos won\u2019t buy Liverpool<\/p>\n Billionaire Amazon founder Bezos<\/a> has been linked with joining Bhatia\u2019s bid but Silicon Valley-based Moore suspects the world\u2019s fourth richest person has no interest in football.<\/p>\n \u201cSure, someone sends an email to Jeff Bezos and says: \u2018Would you be interested in doing this consortium?\u2019 That doesn\u2019t mean Bezos [will accept],\u201d he told the Liverpool Echo<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYou also have to look at people\u2019s passions because as much as football or sports is a commercial business and high stakes, you need people who understand the culture, understand the pitfalls and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think that is probably the attraction of Amit Bhatia and the Mittal family generally.<\/p>\n \u201cJeff has never shown any interest and even if he did, if he put in one percent of his net worth that he is going to throw in here and he can bring his wife, Lauren Sanchez, to Anfield, where she can come to Anfield<\/a> and the cameras will be on her and she can have a right great time.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t want or need that [if you\u2019re FSG], so the Bezos thing to me is a red herring.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRead more<\/p>\n
