This is perhaps why, Kop Limited, a firm owned by two American businessmen, Billet and Cricks, has been contemplating a prospective takeover of the Football club. Billet and Cricks present their offer to LFC’s board of directors and manage to win the approval of some of the board members. However, when the news of a prospective takeover finds its way to popular media, many fans are outraged as they see this as commercial exploitation of the club’s legacy.
