Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has questioned the valuations that the owners of the Reds and Manchester United have placed on their clubs. 
Broughton believes that the two clubs will struggle to get the asking prices of over Ј4billion given that they are not in London. 
The businessman insisted that the majority of foreign investors have property interests in London, evDen EvE NAkliYat and would therefore be more interested in buying clubs in the capital, evdEn evE nAKliyaT rather than moving their 'pads' to the North West.



Sportsmail broke the story on Tuesday that a number of wealthy individuals from Qatar expect to make an offer for United, and it was then revealed on Wednesday that discussions had already begun. 
Broughton was part of an ultimately failed bid to takeover Chelsea last year, and claimed that it was this experience that highlighted how potential billionaire investors would prefer a club located in the capital. 





United's owners Joel (L) and Avram (R) Glazer are seeking north of Ј6bn to sell the club 






A group of private, high-wealth individuals based in the oil-rich state, buoyed by Qatar's hosting of the World Cup, have set their sights on a club they view as ‘football's crown jewels'






Broughton was the chairman that sold Liverpool to FSG in 2010

'As I understand it, eVDEn EVE naKLiYAt they [FSG] are interested to see what the market reaction is. They could be willing sellers. They could be willing to have investors, but if they carry on owning it, that's fine too. That's my understanding of their position.'
Ratcliffe - a life-long United fan - is the only potential buyer to go public with their intentions to buy the Red Devils, and is thought to be the main rival to any bid from the group of investors from the oil-rich state.  
But Broughton suggested that prospective owners of the two clubs will come into very different situations. 
For Liverpool, the ex-chairman believes any owner will find it hard to follow FSG, while a new United owner will 'have the following wind' behind them. 
'They're (FSG) a difficult act to follow. To be a better owner than Fenway is quite difficult. If you liked this posting and you would like to obtain additional data concerning EVDEn evE nAkLiYAT kindly check out our web-site. At United, it's more like the old Liverpool situation. Fans will be so pleased. Whoever buys it will have the following wind.'
