Liverpool owners FSG strike momentous £40m deal with Chelsea's Todd Boehly
Collaboration between Premier League owners is rarely advised outside of ownership meetings on rule changes and the like.
Particularly not between direct rivals at the top of the league like Liverpool and Chelsea have been for over 20 years now.
But Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly has proven that he doesn’t exactly play by football’s unwritten rules, whilst Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are planning multi-million dollar investments.
Earlier in the month Anfield Watch reported that SpringHill had merged with British entertainment production company Fulwell 73. It is now reported that Chelsea owner Boehly himself is also an investor in Fulwell 73.
WTF FIFA: Liverpool SNUB proves 'The Best' awards are a JOKE
FIFA’s ‘The Best’ awards have long been a popularity contest designed to satisfy the egos of the football players who weren’t good enough to win the Ballon d’Or the season before.
A subjective ‘best player in the world’ award makes sense. Most sports do it and there is a purpose to crowning someone year on year.
‘The Best’ seems to be, at best, an ego-driven mess. And this year is no better.
FSG to DUMP £71m flop
Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are on thin ice with Liverpool fans.
Ticket prices are set to soar in the Premier League, and there will be widespread frustration and anger should one of Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk or Trent Alexander-Arnold be forced to leave the club due to failed contract extension negotiations.
However, Liverpool Football Club is not the only major asset that FSG own. As a conglomerate organisation, that has direct control of many different entities, their focus responsibility is not just to us.
And over at the Boston Red Sox, things aren't going smoothly either.
