'It's the biggest and the greatest football club in the world' - Bhatia

New Liverpool investor Amit Bhatia says he recognises what fans want from their football club and has referenced the "enormous responsibility" his consortium of investors now has by buying into the Reds. Bhatia will be at Saturday's game at Anfield against Nottingham Forest - his first visit since a deal was agreed for his consortium to buy into the club. The company - 1892 Holdings - includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and, subject to regulatory approval, will own around 38% of the 20-time English champions. A beaming Bhatia, who has previous involvement in football with Queens Park Rangers, told Liverpool's website: "The opportunity to be involved in a club like this, with people like this, with management like this, with potential in the way that we know that this club has, is only positive thoughts and only positive feelings. And I get it, I understand that with it comes an enormous responsibility to the supporters, an enormous responsibility to make sure that people always feel the club is moving forwards. "This club has been around since 1892 and the club will be around long after we're all gone. For a short period of time, if we were lucky enough to be part of an ownership group that can help support the club for a period of time, then all that we can hope for is that we can bring more success to the club. But more importantly, that we can make the fans even more proud of the football club that they support, that they represent, that shapes their Sunday mornings or their Mondays in the office. "And that's a huge responsibility. But I think that that's something I recognise, something that I have interacted with and it's been very important to me in my heart throughout my involvement in sport. "How can you not be excited? It's the biggest and the greatest football club in the world. And so to in any way be associated with it, it is the stuff of dreams, right? But it also comes, we know, in time with great responsibilities. And so that responsibility has been shouldered by FSG, we believe, in the most spectacular way over the last 16 years. And so if we as their partners can be involved, help, elevate the club, help the club in any way – and I hope that they see some value in us, which is why they've welcomed us to the table – we are ready, willing, champing at the bit and can't wait to help in any way that we are called upon to help the club. So, incredibly excited, incredibly honoured and very much looking forward to it."
