[Cotillo] According to an industry source, FSG is not involved in the bidding for the Celtics.
Hallelujah!
Good. The current FSG group doesn’t give a shit about winning. Just a portfolio
They probably weren’t expecting the Celtics to go up for sale, but I’m guessing their priority is still to get an expansion team in Vegas with LeBron as the front-man and a sparkly new building that will be the jewel of the league for like 15 months until it’s just another sun-baked building with pumped-in air that smells of old nacho cheese, cigarettes, and regret.
edit: spelling
I miss her.
Want her back?
They also literally cannot buy the Celtics unless LeBron retires or sells his stake. It was just a BS clickbait article
Thank god.
They had to get us all worried like that for half a day
Following Liverpool for the last 15 years has already raised my blood pressure to elevated levels. Nevermind the nightmare that is the Red Sox.
This cunt owning the Celtics would put me in an early grave.
Liverpool have had a historic run over the last 15 years. Literally won every trophy possible and heavy favorites to win the Premier League again this year and go deep in all cup competitions. All the while up against teams that have Sovereign Wealth funds boosting them.
As someone who has followed Liverpool for the last 30 years, FSG has been the best ownership group in the Premier League.
Ohhh my frustration is based in total entitlement. I’m not ignoring that fact.
I just can’t bear to hear Henry use the “buying baseball players is expensive” quote for the Celtics.
Like, he clearly cannot afford the teams he has. He doesn’t need to buy any more
FSG has been the best ownership group in the Premier League.
Not only no but hell no
Their Net Spend is less than West Ham, the only saving grace is they have put the right people in place to run the team but the fact Salah, Van Dijk and Trent are all about to leave for free because the club doesn’t want to pay them what they’re worth is nothing short of total embarrassment.
The amount of times that the team was one player short and lost at the end of season and came 2nd by 1 points because the players were burnt out due to the owners being cheap is again a total embarrassment
Doesn’t sound like I’m going to change your mind, but for the sake of argument here are the positives of the FSG era (hard to do this without sounding like a corporate bootlicker, but here I go):
Name one ownership group in the Premier League that you would prefer.
Liverpool fans will tell you the opposite, if you are talking about profits yes the are great but they only look at the club as a business. Can you fault them for that I guess not but fans obviously won’t be happy
Doesn’t LeBron have a share in FSG? That would be a pretty big no-no.
Aggregators suck ass.
All these fan pages (looking at you, “Savage”) erroneously crediting Kurt Helin…who was improperly aggregating a story from the Boston Globe.
It’s like a shitty game of telephone.
That savage account irritates the hell out of me. They retweet fake shit all the time and everyone runs with it.
And Gordo
This is the second time this has been reported and walked back.
Current owners probably don’t want that rumor out there. I certainly wouldn’t renew my ticket package if the team were owned by FSG. Team would rapidly decline.
It’s because this story was written by AI which was copying the original story and re-reporting the story for click bait because of the news of official bids being accepted this week
I blame NBC Sports boston for using AI to write posts.
Yaaaaaaaaay! They can fuck right off.
OH THANK GOD
Anyone else getting the feeling that this impending ownership change is starting to affect the players directly?
Can’t be too good of a feeling knowing that there’s gonna be a lot of uncertainty towards contracts and extensions to most of this expensive roster once the new ownership comes in. JT and JB are probably the only untouchables we actually have.
Kinda makes sense with DWhite’s recent comments about this stretch being the “most difficult” they’ve ever experienced.
Add to that the extra games we played during the finals run and the Olympics, and you’re gonna have a gassed, emotionally and mentally tired team resulting in the slump we see before our eyes.
No
Yeah this is probably nothing but my copium-addled mind making me make connections out of everything
Kinda makes sense with DWhite’s recent comments
I think everyone read way too much into that comment, I think he just meant worst regular season W-L stretch since he joined the team, which it was
Yeah my copium-addled brain is just looking for anything to explain this agonizing stretch of .500 ball
I get it 😂🤝

Thank Christ.
They’re an awful ownership group
Kurt, big dawg, you gotta lose that source you used for that story
the baseball reporters have been pretty clear for months that FSG isn’t in on the Celtics but national people keep bringing it up for rage clicks and many fans are way too paranoid to stop and think for a second
Better be true.
Snip snap snip snap
Good, take your stinking paws off, John Henry
So not full throttle huh?
Thank Fuck for that
ok but now I’m mildly concerned because if it wasn’t going to happen for sure this story wouldn’t have been brought back to life after being killed a fee months ago
Thank god
I was really shocked when I heard the bid, makes sense that its not true, I dont think they have close to a billion dollars in liquid assets
Thank god. Didn’t want them to buy the Celtics.
They are, they’re not, they are, they’re not. I’m getting whiplash.
If that’s true then it just made my Monday.
And we praise the lord
focus on getting facts lol
TLDR Lebron can’t own an NBA team while playing, which is why they’ve denied every rumor for the past year
Lmao seriously when ever I see the “FSG bad” crowd all I can do is laugh and ask so where things better with the previous owners? Nope you say? Ok then carry on . I know some will hate me for it but you can’t deny what FSG has done to several teams that never tasted victory .
I’m so sick of news like this when it comes to sports. The constant back and forth. Idk why everyone gives it so much attention every time. Just tell me when something is official
