It hasn't exactly been a quiet end to 2022 for Fenway Sports Group.
After it was revealed early last month that the Liverpool owners were ready to listen to offers for the club there has been a glut of names linked as potential bidders, from sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East to US private equity.
Well-placed sources in the US last week told the ECHO that while the Reds could change hands if a group came in above and beyond a $4bn (£3.3bn) tag, there was nothing imminent and no talks particularly far down the line with any group. There was also understood to be no rush for FSG principal John W. Henry to part with the club, nor some of the other partners that make up FSG's total shareholding, although some parties may be more willing than others to cash out at a decent price.
