Lebron James buys a small stake in Liverpool fc

[barcelonafc]

strange one this, never had Lebron down as a soccer fan.

WTF can he possibly bring to Liverpool FC?

[SiMON2g]

Lots and lots and lots of $$$

[GTS925]

Did Lebron buy the Liverpool soccer team because they have 18 rings while he has 0?

not a fan, just a business deal.

[SoV]

Doesn't affect the club in business, but might help build and expand our "brand" the US.

[revnecro1273]

not a fan, just a business deal.

exactly...don't need to be a fan to invest

[alka07]

i never thought lebron had a clue what soccer is

[HustleGetPaid]

Business deal, good one at that. Keep the paper rolling in Lebron...

[TeamTT]

He has too much money...

[meckis]

It could be good for both sides.

[branrave]

How much money did he spend?

[Greekbet]

I don t think Lebron can drive Liverpool to the road for the summit of Premiership.

[OGUCCI-SBR]

i never thought lebron had a clue what soccer is

and you thought/think right.

[Soon2BRich]

probably a idea from his money managers on how to bring in and make MORE money

[BookiesBernanke]

HAHAHAHAHA - during a major world economic depression where half of England is rioting and the other half is burning some owner sells this dumba$$ a bridge to nowhere

You cant make money off of a sports team when the local fans are unemployed

[Soon2BRich]

its not like he owns the club now, hes only a minority share holder and i doubt he even cares about it

[acestreet]

Good for him,i reckon..he doesnt tell us where to spend our money!!

[Gtawatson]

Haters in the club back up. Lebron can do whatever he wants with whatever money he has EARNED! I love lebron

[ICE-BLOOD]

how much did he invest?

[3PtShooter]

good investment,,,

[macmane]

Must be nice. Should have a good return on it.

[alon7777777]

King James welcome to Liverpool

[Muggy]

Larger network for him to schmooze and possibly have more buy in for folks who are non-football fans currently who watch the NBA.

[Josu]

A classic example of someone who has too much money.

[JOHON8]

Looks like he'll be taking his talents to Formby Beach...

At least he's tall enough to reach the bottom of the bins....
