Sir Martin Broughton has laid out FSG’s likely thought process after putting the club up for sale, suggesting that the Americans are continuing to gauge the market reaction.
The Merseysiders are said to remain in talks with Qatar-based entity QIA, according to Alex Miller, whilst a host of options are being considered.

Likewise, we’d have serious concerns over talks with QIA being taken any further given the group’s clear links to the Qatar state, which remains a nest for human rights violations.
