Liverpool fans seek clarity on Bezos bid to buy stake
Liverpool supporters say similar sales at other clubs have led to changes in their operations and decisions they would not want to see at Anfield.
Liverpool supporters' group Spirit of Shankly has called for more clarity and a meeting with Liverpool FC following reports of a possible deal to sell a significant stake in the club to a consortium including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The group emphasized that the interests of the club and its fans must come first. Bezos, with a fortune estimated at over $280 billion, is part of an investor group led by Amit Bhatia, son-in-law of steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, and includes Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
FSG, Liverpool's owners, confirmed the approach in July, and Sky News reported Monday that the consortium is nearing a deal to buy roughly a one-third stake in the club. The group has written to Liverpool asking for further information and a discussion on the potential changes, stressing that preserving LFC's identity and operations is of utmost importance.
