Glazers are Republican party supporters

maybe you need to read that article in full......i'll just copy this bit at the end. This guy is not in the livepool management structure and is a minor, let me repeat that MINOR, shareholder in FSG

the rest was small donations from various directors to which JW Henry, the principal owner of Liverpool FC did not donate.

Er, they do.

They've made donations to political parties, it's not a secret, and with money comes influence, or at least consideration.

Come on, one of the donations was $780...........the guy making the huge donations has nothing to do with liverpool, he's a minor fsg shareholder thats it.

Doesnt mean they have political power, unlike the hugely sanctioned billionaire russian oligarchs

Unless Abramovich gives Chelsea away they're stuffed. Can't sell any match tickets or charge money at the gate, can't sell merchandise, can't buy or sell players.

He could just come out in support of Ukraine and categorically denounce Putin's actions...

I'm not sure how you can say someone who is a shareholder in FSG has nothing to do with Liverpool...

Anyway, here's an article about the various political allegiances that US investors have in English football, it's a couple of years old but you get the idea:

So many questions that need answers.
Can they let fans in for free? Can they sell food and drink? Or a match program?
Are they allowed to book travel for away matches? Will any sponsors still pay?
What happens to debentures?

It’s so complicated. But if you get in bed with an Oligarch you run this sort of risk.

I'm just glad he never bought CPD Y Rhyl, think of the sh-t we would be in now!!

Again, nothing in there to say any of them have political power…………if i donate to labour, would that mean i have political power, not in the slightest.

more straw clutching.

Probably cause that what it said in the article vickster posted……it stated, he has nothing to do with the managerial structure of liverpool. Also fsg invest in many different companies, his investment maybe going towards those other brands and not towards liverpool.

but i doubt the guy who donated $780 has much political power.

 

[jowwy]

Anyway im out……..politics section is that way ⬆️

He would end up with a noxious substance on his knob ! . . door knob that is.

that's his look out...or he deals with the sanctions

I wonder if it was him sneaking around Farnborough airport on his private jet

Apparently not https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60671843
