Why wouldn't we get someone like Dubai?
How is a club's value determined? Is it just a case of supply and demand? How is it possible that a club like Liverpool is being sold for £3bn and United, with all its developmental requirements, for more than double that?
not entirely sure about clubs, but most companies are sold based on a multiple of their EIBITDA. Normally this can be 5-10 times but in exceptional cases more.
one reason is United has more fans
Why do Primark sell dresses at £15 and Versace sell dresses at £15,000?
And that's worth £3bn?
In fairness, that sounds like something I'd do...without the billionaire part. I'm not even a thousandth-aire.
no, it’s just one reason
but having more customers and potential customers is obviously important
Talkshite reporting on minority investment from Qatar for Liverpool.
Interesting
Interesting
Isn’t that shit for them?
Depends how you look at it.
Qatar probably morally terrible owners on one hand.
Liverpool always were looking for investment not a whole sale but a minority takeover will probably lead to a full takeover.
In this instance I would say we can rule out Qatar unless they have another consortium available to buy us.
Value would be based on a lot of things like assets, stadium, social media presence, debt, EIBITDA, their amount of sponsors, presence around the continents and, most importantly, cash flow.
We're going to be bought by Todd 2.0 - Chad
We are not worth 7billion and the Glazers are delusional if they think they can flog us for that much. It's putting off potential buyers.
Yeah but they can’t take over Liverpool while owning PSG so it’ll only ever be a minority stake. They still keep FSG who won’t put any money in while there has to be a natural limit to how much Qatar puts in themselves.
If Liverpool fans do get excited about a taste of ME money then Qatar being a minority stake keeps the potential full takeover of that nature from happening.
Seems like a halfway house. I’d be raging if this happened with the Glazers
Who says this is happening?
Can we go back to being morally superior now?
FSG aren't the Glazers though. They know how to run a club and they are genuinely invested in it
Liverpool fans hate FSG and their transfer policy / under investment.
I think the Qataris will end up chucking PSG in the bin. Even signing the best players in the World they have obviously realised that the interest isn't there and it's difficult to build a CL winning squad in France where there are no competitive matches to keep the players sharp. A sportswashing project with United or Liverpool is on a different planet, you can go anywhere in the World and people know these clubs.
I hope it's not true, ideally we'd have no state takeovers in football. But with Newcastle, City and Liverpool all potentially swimming in unlimited funds over the next decade and more, the top 3 will basically become a closed shop.
It’s not Qatar state , it’s said to be a Qatar backed consortium. Big difference with no ownership ties to PSG
Really? They seem to have invested very wisely and had brought some important trophies to Liverpool.
Funny that a large part of the Chelsea purchase cost was the huge debt owing to Abramovich, which massively overinflated the final figure, without the debts Chelsea would have probably been valued at half, I am sure that the financial stratosphere of billionaires is better versed in these things but our value and Liverpools seems to be being inflated by the media based on the total Chelsea sale cost which was perverse
Anyone know anything about this guy?
I recognise his name and I have him blocked. Which means I realised he was a BS account somewhere along the way
Although I do think Dubai will be one of the bidders
Yep, an ITK account. I remember someone posted him saying FDJ is a United player. So clearly wants likes and retweets because we have seen alot of ITK accounts saying takeover is complete.
I find it funny that ITK's think that anyone would tell them if its done, considering this is not a transfer or something, its a £5-8bn takeover where only people who need to know will have any idea what is going on.
He's a bullshit artist, look at the replies to him, lots slating him for the mulitple wrong calls he had, Timber, De jong and a few others, he's only verified for $8 a month.
Just a bored click bait artist. Block him and move on.
He was saying all summer De Jong is a definite blah blah
Top man, agree completely.
Nobody but the Glazers has any say, and it will be 'biggest cheque wins', the rest is irrelevant in terms of who might own us. Sad, but that's the reality.
Almost sure of it. And probably not good ones either. After the initial optimism (And I am still glad we will hopefully get rid of the Glazers), I can't help but feel like we will end up with owners who are not much better than them.
I am in no doubt that the Glazer's number one priority will be to make as much money as they can, will not matter who or where from.
As a bonus to that I am sure that given several similar options they would take the deal which is worst for the club out of spite.
I agree with the first part. As for the second part, they are businessmen and frankly they won't go so far as to feck over the club which will probably make them billions.
Block him as quick as possible.
I sincerely hope not, but it's what I fully expect. It will be one of those that failed to get Chelsea.
Yep and that’s certainly not an attractive proposition considering Todd Boehly was deemed the best of that bunch, and so far he comes across as an absolute clown.
Once again, this doesn't fit with ICD's MO at all unless its personal for Sheikh Hamdan or that they want to take the ICD in a different direction.
Full blown bullshit. United are a PLC, they'd have to suspend trading on the stock market if a potential takeover was even close to done.
