NEW: Filming restrictions were in place at Liverpool’s training base in Dubai earlier this month but as well as concealing anything potentially secretive, the decision prompted gossip about who was entering and leaving, even inside the club. #lfc [simon hughes - the athletic]
Certainly, at the team’s hotel, there were visitors from the Middle East. And in position, for a few days at least, was Billy Hogan, the club’s chief executive, who flew in following a short stay in Qatar during the World Cup there, as per @Simon_Hughes__
When a decision is made about the future of Liverpool, it might transpire that Hogan laid some of the groundwork but the final call is expected to be made by FSG’s partnership, which is headed by principal owner John W Henry, as per @Simon_Hughes__
