Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton claims Fenway Sports Group will be a hard act to follow when it comes to finding "good owners" to take charge at Anfield.
In contrast, he claims that Manchester United fans will be so relieved to have new leaders at the helm that they will welcome whomever the Glazers sell up to. Liverpool and United, the two most successful teams in England, were put up for sale by their respective owners late last year.
FSG announced in November that it would "consider new shareholders" after 12-and-a-half years of successful ownership on Merseyside. Later that month, the Glazer family confirmed United were exploring "strategic alternatives", having taken over at Old Trafford in a controversial leveraged buyout in 2005.
