Elon Musk buying Liverpool would be like seeing your dream home bulldozed - he is everything this city cannot stand and even if he made every ticket free I would never sit on the Kop again, writes DOM
Daily MailNot in a million years. There had been mirth in the city last weekend when phones started pinging with WhatsApp messages showing the front page of the Weekend Sport — a publication best known for its pictures and taking a sideways look at things — with a headline pronouncing: ‘Elon Musk set to buy LFC.’ It felt a bit early for April Fool’s Day but, lo and behold, Musk’s father, Errol, went on Times Radio on Tuesday afternoon to set out his son’s wish. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has reportedly expressed a desire to buy Liverpool Liverpool owners FSG thankfully have no interest in selling the club to the billionaire I would never sit on The Kop again if Musk showed up at Liverpool, even if tickets were free Contract stand-offs can easily get resolved when you have billions in the bank. ‘I don’t like bullies and I don’t like hypocrites — and he embodies both those things,’ John Amaechi, the pioneering British basketball player, observed on a podcast with American sportswriter Dan Le Batard last month. FSG have their critics amid contract stalemates with stars like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk But Musk's views and his behaviour don’t chime with how the people of Merseyside act George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who nearly took Liverpool into administration, would be more appealing than Musk Musk taking over Liverpool is like asking whether you'd like to see your dream home bulldozed ‘He doesn’t do anything unless he knows he’s going to get something back for it.
