FSG puts Liverpool up for sale

Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has put Liverpool up for sale.
A full sales presentation has been produced for interested parties.
FSG has looked at opportunities in the past but decided against moving forward with them. It is unclear whether or not a deal will eventually be done, but FSG is inviting offers.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been retained to assist with the process.
A statement from FSG, who also own the Boston Red Sox, to The Athletic read: “There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.
“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.
“FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”
The group has owned Liverpool since October 2010, when it bought the club from George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks.
During that time, Liverpool appointed Jurgen Klopp as manager. They won their first Premier League title in 2019-20, which was also their first championship for 30 years. They also captured the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and the Champions League.

FSG and the culture wars at Liverpool

During FSG’s ownership Anfield has been transformed, with a new £110million Main Stand, while the Anfield Road Stand is being redeveloped. That £80m project will be completed next summer and boost capacity to around 61,000.
FSG has also overseen the club’s move from Melwood to a new £50m training facility in Kirkby.
It is principally owned by John W. Henry, who was one of two founders alongside chairman Tom Werner. FSG also own the Red Sox, television network NESN, 50 per cent of Roush Fenway Racing and Fenway Sports Management.
Fenway Sports Group: what's next?
FSG sold an 11 per cent stake in the company for $750m (£655m) to RedBird Capital Partners last year and subsequently bought a controlling stake in top-flight NHL ice hockey team the Pittsburgh Penguins.
There have been controversial elements to FSG’s ownership of the club. In 2019, they were criticised after the club tried to trademark the name Liverpool, with supporters’ group Spirit of Shankly campaigning against the move.
Liverpool were also one of six Premier League sides to commit to the failed European Super League last year. After protests, they withdrew from the project. Henry apologised publicly to the fans.
When Werner spoke to The Athletic in May, he insisted FSG wasn’t going anywhere. He said: “Yes, we still see it as a long-term project. We are hungry to win more trophies for the club.”

Goldman Sachs , there you have it . Most dubious institution on Wall Street.

I swear I almost want this to happen and the new owners to be arabs just to hear Klopp.

But otherwise, I love their board, hope they have a change of mind.

Bit of a shame the Saudis are already in with Newcastle.

Kim Jong Un might be interested though.

We should buy them, sack flopp, appoint bruce, sell all their best players, keep trent and andy carroll, in three years get them down to league two. Purely just for the meltdown.

Be another American owner. Hopefully they will be more like the Glazers.

Don't forget about bulldozing klanfield and replacing it with a multistorey car park

Got some Geordie mates who are now eating a fuck load of crow pie Hypocritical shower of fucks

BUT what a fuckin climb down these arseholes
Would have to do hahahahaha Gonna be epic

Was joking with a friend who's a dipper supporter, and said I hope the Arabs don't buy them as it would be a shame for him to have to find another club to support. He said the Arabs don't buy proper clubs, that they only focus on success starved clubs.
I countered with they usually buy mid-table clubs (tick) with no CL prospect in the coming years (tick), and that I thought that their stonings, granted of busses and not people, might also be attractive.

Can’t see Arabs buying a murdering club, for moral reasons.

Like button pressed

It is hysterical that supporters groups like "Entitled of Shankly" expect to be engaged in the process so that fans are front and centre of any sale and the first thoughts of prospective owners. Extracting maximum returns from their "customers" will be front and centre of any prospective buyer's strategies you muppets.

If their selling then it’s because they want to cash-in while the price is high. In that case, the new owner won’t be putting as much in and will be taking as much as possible out. What’s not to like.

Hopefullly this 'for sale' will really affect morale within the club.
Owners hoping to cash in and make a huge profit after 12 years - something like £4Billion?
Not forgetting that the fans hero Klopp has negotiated £15M a year for himself - not bad for winning two trophies of note in 7 years.

The penny should drop with the fans and players when they think it through (not only at Liverpool):

1. The owners decided to furlough their non-playing staff.
2. They tried to get a Super league up and running.
3. The squad needs massive investment - they are not getting it.
4. Lipstick on a pig when it comes to stadium investment.
5. VVD, TAA and others earn about half of what they could earn anywhere else.

Yet the owners can walk away with approx £4Billion profit, and this is the model the authorities say works best for English football!
YNWA

Have to wonder if this has something to do with the lackluster performances this season?
VVD for one looked like he did not give a toss in some games.
