Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has reportedly decided not to pursue a takeover at Anfield following FSG ’s decision to sell.
The 75-year-old was linked with a takeover attempt of the Reds following the announcement that the club’s current owners were looking to relinquish control. He was touted alongside a vast array of other potential buyers.
According to CBS Sports, he reportedly gave a move ‘serious consideration’ over the festive period but has decided not to pursue a deal. Broughton was originally appointed as the Reds’ chairman in April 2010 but was only with the club for a matter of months after Tom Hicks and George Gillett sold the club and was eventually replaced by Tom Werner.
