thomas Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Why would FSG even sell? And do any Liverpool fans want them gone? They seem to be doing everything right in terms of getting in a highly rated manager, backing him, not selling Coutinho etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Amanda Stavely apparently holding talks with FSG for a potential Liverpool takeover according to reports... Leading financier Amanda Staveley has made initial soundings about Liverpool’s availability, according to reports. The Sunday Mirror say that Staveley, who runs PCP Capital Partners, a fund with global assets of more than £28billion, wants to acquire the Merseyside giants. The investor was at the 1-1 draw between Newcastle and Liverpool last weekend – although it was reported she was set to meet with Mike Ashley over the potential sale of the Tyneside club. I thought this from the beginning tbh, wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that's exactly what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nothing new really. Im guessing due diligence late in the process? Like the last thing before a bid if they are happy with what they have seen? Clutching Mike Ashley wants a 'quick sale' of Newcastle and four separate groups are interested - NUFC gossip Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is believed to have reduced his asking price for the club in order to drum up interest Four separate groups are hoping to purchase Newcastle United before February - and owner Mike Ashley is also aiming for a “quick sale”, according to a report. The Magpies owner is believed to have reduced his asking price for the club from more than £450million to around £380m in an attempt to attract interest. Amanda Staveley, a businesswoman whose company PCP Capital Partners oversees a portfolio worth £28billion, held informal talks with club officials at St James’ Park earlier this month following United’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool. The Times claims that PCP are one of four interested buyers but, unlike the other three groups, Staveley’s company has not yet signed a non-disclosure agreement with United. Interestingly, however, it is reported that the three additional consortia have been conducting due diligence at Newcastle - and are attempting to push through a deal before the next Premier League TV rights package is completed in February. The lucrative TV rights deal is expected to increase in value once again, and therefore the groups hope to complete any purchase before the cost of the club rises. Though Ashley could demand a higher price for Newcastle once that new TV package is confirmed, it is also claimed that the Sports Direct magnate is also keen to conclude any sale as soon as possible. It is suggested that Ashley has “conceded that Newcastle’s squad requires strengthening” during the January window, but that the United owner does not want to plough further money into a club he is looking to offload. Certainly the Magpies are for sale at the right price but whether any prospective takeover occurs between now and February remains to be seen.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If any of the groups looking to buy are serious you'd think they'd want to get it done in time for the January transfer window. A new owner would hopefully want to provide a transfer fund which could go to strengthening the squad to increase our chances of staying in the Premiership. There'd be no point taking over in February or later if there was a chance NUFC could be relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If we do get taken over by Staverley or someone else who wants to make us a force, I wonder if Rafa would turn his attention to someone like Butland. He’s at Stoke but surely he would jump at the chance to come to us with Rafa being backed and building a squad to compete. I’m not sure if hhis distribution skills would be good enough for Rafa, but surely the players like him who are at clubs like Stoke and are being overlooked by the bigger clubs because they want bigger names are the sort of players Rafa will be after and with him having financial backing we may finally be in a position to snap them up.

As soon as i started reading your post i was going to mention his distribution being abysmal. I don't think he's the type of keeper Rafa would be after at all. I agree on your point about going after that type of player though, that would be class! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
