Just done a bit of research regarding Billy Beane .

He chairs a company called RedBall Acquisitions who recently tried to purchase a 25% stake in Fenway Sports , Fenway Sports is owned by JJ Henry and they own the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool .

The deal fell through due to Beane having a conflict of interest with his association with the Oakland A's but it was also reported RedBall didn't have the funds either .

Could we see RedBall making an offer to the consortium to buy the club I wonder ? .

Clearly there's a connection with Beane's involvement here and we could be a more realistic purchase for RedBall .

Beane and James Cryne work together on recruitment here so again there's a connection .

Pure speculation of course on my part but at the same time you could see this happening .
