Sir Martin Broughton has revealed he spoke to members of a consortium of billionaires about potentially investing in Liverpool.
But the former British Airways chairman admits London is generally viewed as a more viable option to those looking to invest in Premier League clubs, despite Reds owners Fenway Sports Group open to offers for either a partial or full sale at Anfield.
Last year, Broughton, whose brief stint as Liverpool chairman in 2010 helped lead to the removal of Tom Hicks and George Gillett as owners, was spearheading a consortium that was in the running to buy Chelsea before it was purchased by the Todd Boehly-led Clearlake Capital group.
