Explained: Why FSG have agreed to sell Liverpool stake to 1892 Holdings as Bezos role clarifiedOn Friday, Liverpool FC owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) confirmed the sale of a minority stake in the club to 1892 Holdings, a consortium led and managed by Amit Bhatia and including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.A statement on liverpoolfc.com affirmed that FSG will continue to retain majority ownership and operational control of the club and didnt disclose any details about the size or value of the stake, but according to sources with knowledge of the investment, its expected to be approximately 30% (The Athletic).The proposed transaction has prompted LFC fan group Spirit of Shankly to seek transparent answers to multiple questions about the process, such as whether due diligence has been undertaken on the investors and whether this is part of plans for a future sale of the club as whole.FSG to retain day-to-day control over Liverpool FCA report fromThe Athletic clarified that FSG have agreed on the partnership with 1892 Holdings because they could see the benefit to their global operations, with Bhatias involvement expected to open doors in Asia and Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin set to assist in growing the clubs already strong brand.FSG will retain majority ownership and operational control of Liverpool FC, continuing to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the club, and the Boston-based firm are incredibly selective when it comes to giving up any of their controlShould the investment go through, Bhatia will assume the role of vice-chairman and be joined on the clubs board by Elaine Saverin (wife of Eduardo) and Bryan Baum of K5 Sports. Sources with knowledge of the situation have indicated that Bezos wont have a seat on the board.Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?

Is there a legitimate worry that match-going fans could be priced out by capitalism-driven cost increases?Its no secret that FSG have been open to outside investment in Liverpool FC in recent years, and selling now would yield John Henry and co a mammoth profit on the 300m for which they purchased the club in 2010.While the current owners have been far from perfect, at least the growth of LFC on their watch has been undeniable and theyve taken fans opinions on board by reversing some unpopular decisions. For as long as they retain majority control at Anfield, we can rest assured that there are steady hands at the wheel.

As India prepare to play their landmark 600th Test, the setting could hardly be more fitting. The first Test against Sri Lanka, beginning on Saturday, coincides with Indias 80th Independence Day and will be played at Galle International Stadium, itself celebrating a milestone by hosting its 50th Test. Nestled beside the Indian Ocean and overlooked by the iconic 17th-century Portuguese fort, Galle has long been Sri Lankas spin fortress.India, meanwhile, arrive seeking not just a series win but a revival of their fading Test fortunes after an inconsistent year under coach Gautam Gambhir. Leading India in the historic Test is skipper Shubman Gill, who described the occasion as a huge honour.Leading my country in our 600th Test is a big honour and privilege for me and doing that on Independence Day is even more special, Gill said on Friday.Only England (1,097) and Australia (883) have played more Tests than India. Since beginning their Test journey at Lords in 1932, India have won 186 matches, lost 188 and drawn 224, with one famous tie.The significance of the occasion, however, is matched by the challenge facing Gills men. India have slipped to fifth in the World Test Championship standings after losing 10 of their 20 Tests under Gambhir.With only nine Tests remaining before the next WTC final cycle concludes, Gill knows there is little room for error.The main goal is to play the WTC final next year. We probably need to win six or seven of our remaining Tests to have a good chance, the Indian captain said.Selection remains one of the key talking points. Going by Gills comments on Friday, Prasidh Krishna appears set to partner Mohammed Siraj with the new ball ahead of rookie pacer Gurnoor Brar. While Gill praised Gurnoors ability to extract bounce and make an impact with the old ball, he hinted that Prasidhs recent form may have given him the edge.On a pitch expected to aid spin as the game progresses, India are likely to field a three-pronged left-arm spin attack comprising Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Manav Suthar.

Georginio Rutter and Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion react after the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the American Express Community Stadium in Brighton and Hove, England, on May 9, 2026. (Photo by David Watts/MI News/NurPhoto via Getty Images) | NurPhoto via Getty ImagesNewcastle Uniteds midfield rebuild could take an ambitious turn after Matthias Jaissle identified a Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder as a potential target.The player would be 22-year-old Cameroon international Carlos Baleba, who is considered someone the new Magpies manager admires. According to Transfermarkt, Baleba has an estimated market value of 55 million.Newcastle remain desperately short of established options following the departures of Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, and Wednesdays 3-1 preseason defeat to Everton offered another reminder of how much work remains before the Premier League opener against Liverpool.According to the Daily Mails Craig Hope, Baleba is among the midfielders Newcastle is considering as Jaissle pushes for further reinforcements, even though hes more of the young variety than an established veteran.We understand that Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is among those the manager admires, and the club have him on their list of targets, Hope reported. Baleba would be an ambitious move, but Newcastle need to be just that if they are to give their new boss a squad that is able to compete in the top-flight this term. For right now, you would forecast a season-long struggle at the wrong end of the table.A move is not currently in any advanced stage, however, with the midfielder sidelined by an ankle injury. Hope nevertheless indicated that Newcastles interest could develop before the Sept. 1 deadline.It is not an active transfer the 22-year-old currently has an ankle injury but our sources say it is one to keep an eye on as the window progresses, Hope reported.Jaissle acknowledged those shortcomings after the Everton defeat without publicly identifying his transfer targets.I think you all see the matches. Youre also smart enough to see the needs in the squad, Jaissle said. We handle these things internally. We are aware of what we need. Theres still some time.Baleba would represent a considerably more ambitious addition than some of the experienced midfielders recently linked with Newcastle, including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who rejected a move to St. James Park, and although young, hed come with Premier League experience after playing 112 games for Brighton throughout his time there, including 92 total EPL games.Whether Newcastle turns admiration into an actual approach remains unclear, but Jaissle has now seemingly added one of the Premier Leagues most highly regarded young midfielders to his rebuilding shortlist.Would Baleba be worth a major investment, or would you rather try and land a more established, veteran midfielder?

Islam Makhachev (2nd-L) poses for a picture with his coach Khabib Nurmagomedov (2nd-R) and Russian social media star Hasbulla Magomedov (R) after defeating Charles Oliveira in the lightweight championship at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 22, 2022. (Photo by Giuseppe CACACE / AFP) (Photo by GIUSEPPE CACACE/AFP via Getty Images) | AFP via Getty ImagesIslam Makhachev has a chance to make history at UFC 330.Later tonight (Sat., Aug. 14, 2026), Makhachev attempts to break his shared record with Anderson Silva by extending his current win streak to 17. If hes able to dispatch Ian Machado Garry, hell also score his first Welterweight title defense to accompany the record-setting four defenses he accomplished in the Lightweight division.Already, Makhachev is more credentialed than his friend and coach, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired at the top of his game as an undefeated champion. Makhachev has more UFC wins and more title wins already, yet to some extent, he still lives in the shadow of his longtime training partner. Naturally, when fight fans compared the resume and legacy of the two Russian greats, its a lively debate about which man was the superior fighter.Also known as: who would win?UFC analyst and fellow American Kickboxing Academy trainee, Daniel Cormier, has more insight into their respective skills than most. When asked about a potential head-to-head, prime vs. prime contest between the two, Cormier couldnt help but favor Nurmagomedov.I've waited YEARS for Daniel Cormier to answer this question on the record. pic.twitter.com/nXGkN3cwX7 RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) August 14, 2026Ive seen those guys spar, and it was always so fun, Cormier began on the UFC 330 weigh-in show. And sparrings different, but Im telling you, bro, Khabib had something different. He fought Justin Gaethje and just kind of walked him down, beat him up. Dustin Poirier had him in a guillotine I never for a second thought he would tap. Then, when he got him in the rear naked, Dustins neck was the size of a toothpick. He was going to break his neck with the rear naked choke. He had something that was just different, that you cant teach. Im telling you, I dont know who would have beaten him. Khabib Nurmagomedov would still be the UFC lightweight champion today if he stayed in fighting. Thats how good he was.Seeing as no fight between Khabib vs. Islam will ever happen let alone in some mystical prime vs. prime setting knowledge from an insider like DC is the best well ever get. On the bright side, Khabib and Islam will share the cage in a fashion tonight as a united front opposite Garry, who should provide some interesting challenges to the new Welterweight king.
