Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has questioned the valuations that the owners of the Reds and Manchester United have placed on their clubs. 

Broughton believes that the two clubs will struggle to get the asking prices of over £4billion given that they are not in London. 

The businessman insisted that have property interests in London, and would therefore be more in the capital, EVden evE naKliyat rather than moving their ‘pads’ to the North West.

Broughton was part of an ultimately failed bid to takeover Chelsea last year, and claimed that it was this experience that highlighted how potential billionaire investors would prefer a club located in the capital.

‘Liverpool will be best off taking in co-investors to ensure the current owners can work alongside them and be satisfied that these are the right people,’ he added.

‘As I understand it, they [FSG] are interested to see what the market reaction is. They could be willing sellers.

Ratcliffe – a life-long United fan – is the only potential buyer to go public with their intentions to buy the Red Devils, and is thought to be the main rival to any bid from the group of investors from the oil-rich state.  

But Broughton suggested that prospective owners of the two clubs will come into very different situations. 

For Liverpool, the ex-chairman believes any owner will find it hard to follow FSG, while a new United owner will ‘have the following wind’ behind them. 

‘They’re (FSG) a difficult act to follow. To be a better owner than Fenway is quite difficult. At United, it’s more like the old Liverpool situation. Fans will be so pleased. Whoever buys it will have the following wind.’
