Rihanna linked to Liverpool FC takeover

Barbados: The Barbados beauty earned herself a legion of new fans with her tweets during the World Cup and now she reportedly fancies a move into ownership.

We all know Rihanna had a great time during the World Cup, tweeting her views on matches, attending the final and sharing pecks on the cheek with members of Germany's victorious side.

But we didn't realise that her enjoyment of the game would extend to wanting to share a boardroom with the likes of Mike Ashley and David Sullivan.

Last week came reports that the singer wants to set up her own footballing academy in Barbados before branching into football ownership, with the diamonds singer said to be fancying a jump into the English game.

And now, Spanish news provider Mundo Deportivo reports that the club the pop star wants to call her own is Liverpool!

The Reds finished second in the Premier League last season playing an adventurous style - something the good girl gone bad knows all about.

However, she may have found love for the Merseysiders' it could well leave her in a hopeless place.

Liverpool are under the ownership of the Fenway Sports Group - who have splashed the cash this summer as they look for another sustained title challenge - and FSG have shown zero inclination that suggests they could sell the club any time soon.

So while she may want to take care of the 18-time English champions, she may not be able to run this town.
