A "historic" decision for Liverpool's ports could play a part in who becomes the next owner of Liverpool Football Club.
Following a Government decision to approve Liverpool City Region's Freeport status, reported by Place North West, where £25m of seeding funding will enable the project to get off the ground and make the port more appealing to international markets, the saga of what happens surrounding the ownership of Liverpool moving forward could play a part.
Specially designated economic zones, Freeports are not subject to the usual tax and customs rules so as to encourage import, export and other commercial activity in the region.
