 State-Backed Chinese Consortium Looking to Acquire Stake in LiverpoolThe financial services conglomerate are believed to be working with PCP Capital Partners, an investment and advisory firm, with the aim of becoming major shareholders in Persons in the know have said that plans aren't finalised as yet, but the consortium could also bring other Chinese state-backed groups as investors. Fenway Sports Group have dismissed selling the club outright, however, they are willing to sell a minority share. Speaking via the Liverpool Echo during the week, Liverpool chairman Tom Werner said: "We've said in the past, under the right conditions and absolutely with the right partner, we could look at some small investment stake in the club but only in the framework of doing what would be in the club's long-term best interests. "I'd say that from time to time somebody says they have made an offer to buy us but they are really saying that just for publicity. "People throw offers to us which we don't think are real. "We haven't had a discussion or a negotiation with anyone because this club is not for sale." A source close to FSG, however, claims that Liverpool's owners have tasked advisers with guiding them through serious talks of a joint venture or purchase of an equity stake. Meanwhile, the Reds, coming off a thrilling 4-3 victory over Arsenal last weekend, lost 2-0 away to Premier League newcomers Burnley on Saturday. |

They're taking over football one club at a time.
I never had the Chinese down for football fans, but they're spending a lot of cash recently.

The premier league is the fashionable league so the rich want to get in on the act and boast to their friends they own a football club. They couldn't give two s about the clubs they own. |
