   ​David Lynch reveals what to expect from Amit Bhatia at LiverpoolWhat Amit Bhatia and 1892 Holdings Could Mean for Liverpool’s FutureLiverpool’s ownership landscape has changed significantly with the arrival of Amit Bhatia and 1892 Holdings, but the more intriguing question concerns what could happen next.Fenway Sports Group agreed in August to sell a substantial minority stake in Liverpool to 1892 Holdings, the consortium led by Bhatia.
