Jeff Bezos nears deal to buy stake in Liverpool FC

Robert Hindle43

F*** Bezos, we don't want to be associated with that a$$hole.

@lfccincinnati.bsky.social has posted some links to contact forms for FSG and also Mackenzie Scott, Jeff's ex, who is much more community and progressive minded with her money, and would be much more welcome at the club. 😄 I'll be writing in my displeasure. Will they care? Who knows.

This Scouse Born, Tx living old lady is with you 100%. Been LFC fan for 70 years and this sickens me. Even if he's looking at a small stake in the club, I don't want him anywhere near it, other than a spectator.

Bezos is incompatible with Humanity

Jeremy Alexander12

You’re certainly no git and I agree with you 100%. We’ve had enough of foreign ‘businessmen’ taking over our English clubs. The only decent one was Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and he was universally adored by the Leicester City fans.

I am a LFC fan but if Bozo gets involved I will have to pick another team.

I'm sorry guys but the entire top tier of the UK Premiership is owned by Zionist billionaires and Russian gangsters. Ted Lasso it is not.

Make Bezos FIFA president and he will get rid of the water breaks for the next World Cup.

And pay them the lowest possible salaries so that they have to sign up for gov subsidies!

The way he treats his workers On off days expect the players at your door delivering your new toaster That’s how his algorithm works you to death

Football clubs should be owned by their communities, essentially be a sort of social enterprise that contributes to the wider community positively as well as doing the business of affordable entertaining football. Give football back to the fans.

Legwill23

Yet Reynolds and McElhenny have been amazing for Wrexham - ploughing money back into the community. It's not black and white.

LFC already belongs to US billionaires. These 2 would be massively worse.

Premiership Owned by billionaires Played by millionaires

oldsputnik.bsky.social13

Yes I much prefer the German model with the clubs owned by supporters or local businesses and supporters!!

Now you know how we felt when Rupert Murdoch came to town!

Jennifer Dokey4

Stop shopping Amazon. That'll punch him in the pen!s if billions of people follow suit.

when I heard that the Fleming family was retiring the Bond movies, I was not glad but they have made a great run and was due to fade away. If this bozo gets the rights, to me, Bond shall remain retired and I'll not spend a penny watching in the future.

NorCal Curmudgeon3

I, for one, will be shifting my fandom to another EPL club if Bezos acquires the team. Can’t stand that smarmy jerk.

Adam Macqueen2

Sounds like Jeff Bezos is angling for a threesome.

LFC Joe5

I feel the same, Scott. Genuinely gutted today. This looks like it's going to move forward. I hope not. Wrote to FSG to voice my displeasure, respectfully as I could. fenwaysportsgroup.com/media/

I'm probably going to turn my back on them after 57 years of supporting them. 💔💔💔 I always went to watch Brentford with my Dad when I was little because they were his team, so may just keep with The Bees

The deep state oligarchy wants to exert control over every aspect of people’s lives, so it’s no surprise they’ve launched an attack on football by seizing control of governing bodies and individual clubs. Do our bidding or something nasty will happen to your club will become their mantra.

Are fans willing to boycott? Consumers hold all the power, all the cards, they just don’t seem to have the will.

Pay for play. Betting on every single aspect of the game. It will be turned into a fighting game because that’s what brings in money.

jakeschu.bsky.social9

As a Liverpool fan, HELL NO! Mo leaves for Trabzonspor and now this BS? Absolutely not there Bezos.

Luc de Ruijter7

To all liverpool fans. Look away now! And simply accept FIFA la corruption as a corporate value of the soccer club.

Nich Starling5

Trump sycophants owning Liverpool. Thats sounds bad.

Dorette Marie5

All of this while his workers require food assistance paid for by US taxpayers. He and the wife might want to read the room. Met Balls and Space Joyrides and Sports Teams… not a good look.

“Infantino is ruining football!” — The FA “Let us suck in your teat, Jeff!” — The same FA

Penny Flynn1

That's a shame. Always had a soft spot for Liverpool. No doubt it will be a destructive tenure. Everything Bezos touches turns putrid.

Chesterfield Football History1

No hydration breaks; can't leave the pitch at half time, and pee into a bottle if you're desperate... I can't see that catching on in the Anfield changing rooms. Players will get the ball into the penalty area and just dump it anywhere.

I understand your frustration with Amazon's treatment of its workers, but did you know that Amazon has actually implemented a $15/hour minimum wage for its US employees since 2018, significantly higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25? This move has improved the liveliho...

Willie Shankly was a socialist, aye, but Liverpool FC? First team in the English League to sell advertising space on their shirts. Bought out the streets around the ground & canned them up leaving poor people living in squalor. Sponsored by an investment bank with a history of money laundering.

Gerry 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍀1

You just know that cunt would buy The S*n if the Murdochs left the picture.

steveflynn373

Hahahahahaha, do leave off. Try supporting the team I do. Your “lows” would be our dreams.

Somefella1

To be fair the lows are pretty high compared to everyone else.

Rusty Mckeever1

If I had 6 billion dollars hanging around, I’d buy them…🤷‍♂️

Damion1

We can simultaneously love the club and hate the owners

Alan L.1

Agreed, but Elon is my line in the sand.

Alex Briggs1

Will he deliver, though? 😉
