Former Liverpool CEO Peter Moore believes the 38% sale of the club by Fenway Sports Group to 1892 Holdings will eventually pave the way for a full takeover by Amit Bhatia's consortium. The deal, valued at £1.65billion, grants the group an option to buy Liverpool outright for £6billion within 12 months. Bhatia, who stepped away from his role at Queens Park Rangers after nearly 20 years, has been appointed vice chairman of the new ownership group, which includes Jeff Bezos and Eduardo Saverin. Moore, who served as CEO during Jurgen Klopp's tenure, highlighted the financial responsibility of owners to plan an exit strategy, noting the age of FSG co-owners John Henry and Tom Werner. He emphasized that the sale sets a higher valuation benchmark and could accelerate discussions for majority control. Moore also stressed the importance of growing commercial revenues to meet Squad Cost Ratio requirements, suggesting Bezos' involvement could unlock new revenue streams for the club.
