For the last 16 years, Liverpool Football Club ownership structure has brought about invaluable stability at the club. How much is Liverpool worth?



The club is now reportedly worth around £4.5 billion, so this consortium is going to have to pay an astronomical amount to accrue even roughly a 30% share. What impact will this investment have for Liverpool?

This time though, Bezos, Saverin and Bhatia's group would buy a large enough stake to potentially have a say on major decisions. Many Liverpool supporters have been frustrated by FSG's lack of spending in recent transfer windows, so perhaps this will help them compete with the wealthiest clubs around.
