American Businessman Bankrolls Liverpool
In one of the biggest acquisitions in football history, the Fenway Sports Group has sold their majority stake in Liverpool FC to American billionaire Bruce Wayne, president of Wayne Enterprises, in a deal thought to be worth over £5,000,000,000. Wayne, 37, inherited most of his wealth through inheritance but has vowed to bring a new, exciting approach to Liverpool.
"I don't have much to say on my takeover. This is a new area for me and one I have not touched, but I cannot wait to get underway, I will be the chairman you deserve."
Wayne has insisted that his ownership of Wayne Enterprises will have no impact on the club, keeping his business away from the workings of the football club. However, one of the most notable members on the new board of directors is Wayne Enterprises vice president Lucius Fox in a major reshuffle of the backroom. James Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth and Richard 'Dick' Grayson have also been instated as directors, with the latter also being tasked with the day-to-day running of the club. Grayson spoke to the press shortly after Wayne.
"Liverpool are a club that should be doing a lot better than they are now. Moneyball? What is that s**t? We're playing trophy-ball. Big signings to fire us to a league win. Bruce and I are going to work together to take this club to where it should be."
Jurgen Klopp, who's position has been confirmed by the new ownership, has been given a rumoured £90 million budget to play with and some big names are reputed to be on the wish list of Liverpool. Whether or not the new hierachy can indeed make Liverpool a powerhouse again remains to be seen.
