Amit Bhatia becomes Liverpool vice-chairman after $1.9 billion investment

Amit Bhatia is set to assume the role of vice-chairman at Liverpool FC following a $1.9 billion investment led by the 1892 Holdings consortium. The investment includes a 30% minority equity stake in the club, drawing from various investors, including the Mittal Family Trusts and EE Capital. Bhatia has worked alongside Fenway Sports Group (FSG) throughout this process and expressed pride in joining the club's leadership. The financial infusion is not expected to change Liverpool's daily operations, with FSG President Mike Gordon maintaining oversight of football matters. The deal awaits final approval before Bhatia officially takes on his new role.
