It's almost like he has had a clear plan to make money isn't it?

The fella looking to invest in Liverpool looks a bit of a fraud. The poor relation of Sheikh Mansour and struggling to display he can meet the asking price. In fairness the price FSG are asking for seems a bit steep too.
The deal though, is not about bringing more money into the club to spend, but about FSG covering their initial investment.

City sold a 15% stake to a Chinese consortium a couple of seasons ago and that paid for the £500 million Guardiola splurge and helped them bypass FFP strengthening their squad.
Crazy how much PL teams cost now,no wonder Ashley laughed at the the bid of £350 million from Amanda Staveley's Dubai consortium last season,The Geordies must be worth double that in today's PL climate.

I'm not sure the 2 things were linked really. City's spending, relative to the rest of the league has probably been reigned in slightly in that time. But yes the Sheikh's are running things very differently to FSG and may well have used that money in that way.
From everything I have seen, and everything before from FSG there's not a chance it would be used in that way though. The best case scenario would be some of the funding they get is used towards the stand. That seemed to be the link last time, it was mentioned around the time of the Anfield Road development. They want £200m for their stake but would likely only get £150m (and do well to do so) which would likely pay for the entire project of the Anfield Road end redevelopment (minus a few add on costs which may mean some would be funded by the club).
The alternative is the money is used to pay off the initial investment into the club. Maybe they sell 20% to get to the £300m million figure? That I find more plausible. They will be looking for ways to minimise their own exposure and risk.
Everything said so far of this guy is that he's a major blagger. The fact he can't get £25m together is pretty damning. Any idea from the reds that if this fella comes in he splurges serious money should be questioned.
I also think it shows the desperation of FSG, either to cover their initial investment or to have the upgrade in stadium paid for. The fact that they were negotiating with a guy who couldn't get £25 million together is pretty shambolic on their part.
One left field theory on this might be that City are looking to buy and undermine a rival. There is a lot of precedence in this for oil companies and also for Sheikhs. If competition begins to look serious you buy them out and run them into the ground. It's quite unethical to the team involved but would certainly benefit City which is their prime focus. That is unlikely, but it is far more likely than the Sheikh's will provide serious investment to Liverpool. I would laugh if it turned out to be the case.
Either way, you don't send in your less affluent, less well connected, more incompetent relation if you want to seriously build something.
To me this episode shows for whatever reason (possibly the exposure from the debt) that FSG are a little concerned.

The midfielder of the future?????? What does that even mean, I guess it is true as he is a midfielder and what ever he does from now on will be in the future but seriously who laps up the guff...........I think we all know that is a rhetorical question.

Hahaha what a cry baby, seriously, I mean I can't imagine a Swansea fan writing an article asking why everyone hates them because every set of away fans chant "sher shaggers" haha.
The only correct thing in that piece was this :
When Reds from Merseyside to Melbourne argue “it’s going to be our year” the ridicule pours out from all-comers.
They're continually mocked because of how deluded and stupid they are, it's got nothing to do with fear. The whole prem fears a much better man city team, but they don't hate them.
Leicester actually won something, did everyone start hating them? Did they fudge. Not many hated the great arsenal teams Wenger produced.
They're so dull, when they write kid's stories like this everyone laughs at them.

So that theory suggests that they are a big club and a threat to man City?. I thought they were supposed to be a joke?
