I am not sure what to make of the substantial investment in LFC. FSG in the main have been good owners. LFC are very well run Football Club. While not being reckless, I hope that the new revenue streams this investment will open maybe equates to one more signing per window?

Ye should thank your lucky stars like I am, that he chose LFC, every billionaire has skeletons in the wardrobe these days. Amazon is worth nearly three trillion dollars, so he must know what he's doing, one would guess?

I wouldn't expect massive changes in the medium term, but we will need a new sporting director and replacements for the front of shirt and sleeve sponsors as they expire soon. Wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon as front of shirt sponsor. That would bolster record revenues further.

Agreed, 007. I don't know about the rest of the consortium, but Bezos, outside of his 'babies', has a track record of investing from a distance, not getting too involved and letting the experts run the show. Whatever people think of him personally, he is an excellent businessman.

Let's be honest, folks, this will make pretty much zero difference to the day to day running of the club. It's merely FSG taking some of their profit from their investment over the past 15 years.

I feel this is part of an exit strategy for FSG. Henry and Werner are both 76 now. I doubt they want a family member to inherit Liverpool and would rather cash in first. This new group are likely buyers, but both sides will have to see how it works out in the meantime, which is a good way of going about their business.

I'm interested in potential infrastructure investments. The work on the stadium, the re-purchasing of Melwood for the women's teams and the growth of the AXA centre. All these things are taken into consideration when determining a club's adherence to PSR. More investment in the above has a positive impact when determining if we are within the three year rolling £ 105m loss.

Give me a choice between Bezos or Mohammed Bin Salman, and Bezos wins out every time. There's no accusation of sportswashing here, self made man.

I agree @Vik, he's at the decent(ish) end of the obscenely rich pool.
I saw somewhere that he recently invested £330m (think it was £ but might have been USD) in a British AI startup company, which is a good thing for British industry / workforce.
