Basketball star LeBron James has aquired a minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, as part of a deal with FSG. "Eighteen championships," Mr. James said. "I see myself trying to do the same things they have." FSG chairman Tom Werner added: ""There are very few athletes who can match his global reach, appeal and iconic status. "We feel the business opportunities for both working and being identified together in emerging international markets will result in unforeseen opportunities that neither would have been able to realise alone."
