Liverpool: "FSG remains the boss" clarifies Amit Bhatia
Amit Bhatia clarified the hierarchy at Liverpool following the acquisition of a 38% stake, confirming that FSG remains the club's majority owner.
Amit Bhatia, head of the consortium that recently acquired a 38% stake in Liverpool, has made his first official comments regarding the club's new ownership structure. Speaking to the club's official channel, he clarified the hierarchy and the objectives behind this significant investment.
FSG Retains Control
Despite the substantial entry of the new consortium into the shareholding structure, Bhatia emphasized that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) remains the majority owner and the ultimate authority. The new investor group has been brought in to contribute and support FSG’s leadership, rather than replace it.
The Role of Jeff Bezos
The consortium led by Bhatia includes high-profile figures, most notably Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The involvement of such prominent business entities in the 38% acquisition strengthens the financial foundations of the Merseyside club, aiming for sustained improvement across all departments.
Responsibility and Future Goals
The incoming vice-chairman of Liverpool acknowledged the immense responsibility of joining a club with such history. He stated that the investment is driven by the desire to see the club move forward, ensuring that the team continues to make its supporters proud through consistent progress.
