Jeff Bezos consortium could be majority Liverpool shareholder within a year

A consortium led by Amit Bhatia, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, could become Liverpool’s majority shareholder within 12 months, depending on decisions by Fenway Sports Group (FSG). Under the announced terms, 1892 Holdings has a right of first refusal and an option that would let it buy a controlling stake if FSG sells or reduces its holding. The deal gives 1892 a 38% share for just over £2bn, valuing Liverpool at about £5.5bn. FSG stressed the agreement is not an exit plan from its 2010 £300m purchase and remains in operational control.
