At the beginning of last week Liverpool principal owner John Henry put to bed the talk of a full sale of the club.
In a revealing Q&A with the Boston Sports Journal, Fenway Sports Group chief Henry said that a full sale was not being pursued, with the ownership group instead speaking to investors over the sale of a stake in the club as FSG seek to recapitalise the business ahead of what is likely to be an expensive team rebuild.
Liverpool’s value, in the eyes of FSG is, £4bn and above, quite the return from the £300m that they paid to acquire the club back in 2010 from the near ruinous regime of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
