One of the motivating factors around Fenway Sports Group seeking to sell a stake in Liverpool relates to Mike Gordon considering his retirement.
Gerry Cardinale, founder of RedBird Capital Partners, the US investment firm that owns 11 per cent of Reds owners FSG as well as controlling stakes in AC Milan and Toulouse, revealed that Gordon, one of Jurgen Klopp’s closest FSG allies, had been considering his position.
Gordon recently transferred responsibility for his day to day role at Liverpool to Reds CEO Billy Hogan, with Gordon placed in charge of the search for a potential minority partner.
