great news .... https://www.empireofthekop.com/2020...dfall-that-could-boost-summer-transfer-plans/ Liverpool will receive the full £175m prize package for winning the Premier League – and the payments will not be reduced as a result of the coronavirus, reports the Times. There will be cuts at some point in seasons down the line, because there is still a potential £330m rebate to be paid to TV broadcasters, but the Premier League has agreed it will not affect any payouts this term – meaning Liverpool will receive the full whack – the highest amount ever paid out to a winner.

Liverpool have announced record-breaking kit sales following their release of their first-ever Nike strip last month. And the club will celebrate the numbers by donating 100 home kits to young people in the Anfield area who have helped their local community during the lockdown period. Liverpool's third kit, which was launched on general sale earlier this month, has achieved record sales across the club's online store compared to previous versions at Anfield. The ECHO understands that online and in-store sales are up by over 15 per cent for the new home kit and as much as 30 for the away strip.
I keep reading that, I keep reading their home kit sales aren't anywhere near where they thought they would be. They need to make up their damn minds.
I suspect what it is that the kit is not selling well in individual stores, but because Nike have so many stores worldwide and a good distribution system, cumulatively they’re selling record numbers. As in, not selling well in 100 stores as opposed to selling very well in 28. Something like that.
Let's not forget that 60% of the developed world can't go to a shop and pick one up right now. A lot of people, especially when spending a hundred quid on a shirt, want to try it on first. All you middle-aged guys with the over developed dad bods just can't figure out if they need a 2 or 3X shirt.

either they or individual investors, it all produces revenue in the (relatively) short-term to plug the ticket losses. could be great timing.
A SPAC is a shell company that is created to acquire another company. It raises money via a public market to achieve that end. Nobody is going public to plug short-term revenue losses. If FSG thinks that fan-less football is going to be here for a few years, then raising capital in the short-term to deal with long-term, catastrophic change is a smart idea. And would best achieved by a public listing with sales of new shares. BUT, by pursuing a tie-up with a SPAC, FSG isn't raising new equity to plug any holes. It would be selling a minority position (the SPAC isn't well capitalized enough to be buying the whole of FSG's holdings), one which would give them a new currency of shares (ie, NOT CASH) to further scale their holdings (the New England Red-volution, anyone?).

The proposed reverse merger that could have seen Liverpool publicly listed on the stock market has broken down, reports in the US suggest. Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group had been in talks with RedBall Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company founded by American billionaire Gerry Cardinale and baseball analytics guru Billy Beane, since October over the potential for FSG selling a 20 to 25 per cent stake in their business, which includes the Reds, the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise and the NASCAR team Roush Fenway Racing. While the two parties never stated, nor could they owing to strict regulation, that they were in talks it is understood that discussions were taking place into 2021 over the potential of a public listing on the stock exchange. But US business website Axios reported late on Monday evening that talks had broken off and that RedBall would now turn their attention to trying to buy a stake in another sporting organisation, likely to be in European football. But that, however, does not mean that investment is off the table for FSG and the Reds. Sources close to the deal have told the ECHO that "talks are ongoing" over the potential to strike a deal with other forms of investment, although any such deal would be through Cardinale's Redbird Partners private equity firm. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...pool-fsg-redball-investment-breaking-19700243
