팬웨이 스포츠 그룹은 2B 파운드 (2조 6천억원)에 달하는 인수 제의를 거절 후 리버풀FC는 판매 불가라고 말했다. 하지만 리버풀의 미국인 소유주는 적절한 투자가 돌아올 수 있는 소수 지분의 판매는 받아들인다고 말했다.
셰익 칼레드의 대규모 기업의 이사 Midhat Kidwai가 리버풀 이사회 톰 베르너와 뉴욕에서 만나 2B 파운드로 시도한 금액은 축구 역사상 가장 큰 금액의 인수 시도 였다.
데일리 메일은 그 인수가 셰익 카리드와 중국 소수지분 파트너와 공동 투자였다고 말한다.
클럽 성명에 따르면 FSG는 명확하고 일관적으로 말한다. 클럽은 NFS다.
하지만 소유주가 얘기한 바로는 반복해서 명확하고 적절한 계약조건과 지급조건 아래 만약 우리의 상업적 이익과 클럽과 팀의 지속적인 발전과 성장을 증진시킨다면 소수 지분의 투자자는 고려할 것이다.
Details of Liverpool takeover bid revealed as FSG remain open to minority investment
FSG open to selling minority stake in the club but talks with Sheik Khaled over £2billion takeover didn't get past vetting stage
Fenway Sports Group have reiterated that Liverpool FC is not for sale after a proposed £2billion takeover of the club failed.
However, the Reds' American owners remain open to the idea of selling a minority stake in return for the right investment.
It has emerged that Abu Dhabi-based Sheik Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan, the cousin of Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour, tried to buy Liverpool earlier this year.
The £2billion offer would have been the most expensive takeover in the history of football with Midhat Kidwai, the managing director of Sheik Khaled's conglomerate of companies, meeting Liverpool chairman Tom Werner in New York.
The Mail report that the buyout that would have been a joint venture between Sheik Khaled and a minority stake Chinese partner.
FSG admit there was interest but have played down the significance of the discussions that took place.
Liverpool's owners use the services of Allen & Company, a New York-based boutique investment bank, to vet and filter the succession of inquiries from potential investors.
The ECHO understands that the proposal from Sheik Khaled didn't get past the vetting stage with Allen & Company because it was judged to be neither credible nor worthwhile to be put to major shareholders John W Henry and Mike Gordon.
Proof of funds wasn't forthcoming but FSG insist they did not agree to sell Liverpool for £2billion and that all dialogue with Sheik Khaled ended in January.
A club statement read: “FSG have been clear and consistent: the club is not for sale.
“But what the ownership has said, again clearly and consistently, is that under the right terms and conditions we would consider taking on a minority investor, if such a partnership was to further our commercial interests in specific market places and in line with the continued development and growth of the club and the team.”
City Football Group, which owns Manchester City, sold a 13% stake to a Chinese consortium in 2015 for £265million and FSG could enter into a similar agreement for Liverpool if the right partner is found.
The Reds' Boston-based owners have transformed the club both on and off the pitch since their £300million takeover in 2010.
The appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager proved to be a master stroke and they have redeveloped Anfield with the new Main Stand as well as given the green light for a new training ground complex to be built at Kirkby.
This summer saw a major show of ambition in the transfer market with £170million worth of new talent added to Klopp's squad and the Reds have made a perfect start to the new season.
Last October, Werner told the ECHO that there was “no truth” to reports in the Middle East that FSG had rejected an offer of £1.5billion for the club from Dubai financier Amanda Staveley and her firm PCP Capital Partners.
