same reason as 99% of the people buying bitcoin - they think it'll make them rich coz the market will go up. when NFTs first hit the airwaves there were stories about huge gains being made. kinda like the whole GameStop stuff. or Dutch tulips for that matter. get rich quick ideas always generate frenzies.
Interesting read: John Henry may have sacked 'wrong person' at Liverpool as £120m transfer plan seen in new light - Liverpool Echo
Interesting read, indeed. But those days are gone and we have a great squad and a manager who doesn’t see the need to claim he makes the final call on all transfers..
again, I am forced to the question... GameStop???? wtf?? (that's what the fvck, btw and that's ... ok - I'll just get my coat ... that's gmc ... a close relative of GMO.... *This damn game better start soon*
Normally I would agree but there was this one lady friend I used to hook up with and her's were out of this world. I wanted to find her plastic surgeon and give him an award. Anyway, I digress. Liverpool business, Liverpool business...
you should ask this guy Crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi made headlines in March 2021 when he paid $2.9m for an NFT of Twitter boss Jack Dorsey’s first tweet. But his efforts to resell it have run aground, with a top bid of just $6,800 as of Thursday. Estavi put the tweet up for resale on the popular NFT marketplace OpenSea last week, initially asking for $48m https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/14/twitter-nft-jack-dorsey-sina-estavi
The team is looking to double their annual shirt sponsor money once the Standard Chartered deal expires. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si...nsorship-deal-from-standard-chartered-in-2023
I think double will be difficult - but we should be able to go from 40m to 60-65m pretty easily given our success the last few years and high visibility of the team in general.
LOL, I think there is a specific phrasing they are using there. As of 2021 we were in third after Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. https://www.footballtransfers.com/e...ch-soccer-club-sold-most-football-shirts-2021
I just hope we're not taking a flyer with some random crypto company that will be on the shirt for a season before going bust in the coming recession leaving us pitching companies for precious marketing budget in a downturn. I have liked that we've had long-term relationships with the shirt sponsors.
An investment vehicle which owns a stake in Liverpool Football Club's parent company is trying to gatecrash a €1bn-plus takeover of AC Milan, one of the giants of Italian football. Sky News has learnt that RedBird Capital Partners has approached the Serie A team's owner - the US-based hedge fund Elliott Management - about a deal. Sources said RedBird was trying to prise AC Milan from the clutches of Investcorp, a Bahrain-based investor which had secured a now-lapsed period of exclusivity within which to seal a takeover. It remained possible that Investcorp would still strike a deal instead, trumping RedBird or any other suitors, they added. RedBird has become one of the world's most prolific investors in elite sports and associated technology companies, such as India's Dream Sports, which organises fantasy cricket competitions for millions of Indians, and Toulouse, the French top-flight team. Last year, RedBird bought a stake of just over 10% in Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool's owner for the last decade, for a reported $750m.
American investment group RedBird Capital have reached an agreement to buy AC Milan from Elliott Advisors. The deal values AC Milan, who were crowned Serie A champions for the first time in 11 years at the end of last month, at 1.2bn euros (£1bn). RedBird own a stake in Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool and baseball team the Boston Red Sox. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61660438
