Liverpool Football Club - up for sale?

BBC Sounds
About this episode

With reports that Liverpool is up for sale, we’re asking what could the future hold for one of the world’s biggest football clubs.

The owners of the nineteen time League Champions and six times European Winners have confirmed they would "consider new shareholders" after the Athletic broke the news that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have put the club up for sale.

In a statement, FSG say they remain “fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch" but they stopped short of saying the club is not up for sale.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Simon Hughes.

Guests: Simon Chadwick and Neil Atkinson.

Producer: Craig Lowe
