Fenway Sports Group say they will continue to invest in "talented leadership" across their portfolio as Liverpool approach what could be a pivotal summer under manager Jurgen Klopp.
In their annual partners update correspondence, FSG have stated their aim to invest in "talented leadership at each of its properties, the application of data and analytics, and the relentless pursuit of growth" as the Reds get set for what could be a busy transfer window with something of a new-look team behind the scenes at Anfield.
Sporting director Julian Ward will leave the club at the end of the season with his successor yet to be announced, while the respected Will Spearman will take over from Ian Graham as the club's head of research in the analytics department.

The success of the two new figures in positions that are integral to recruitment in the sporting director and head of research roles will be vital for Liverpool boss Klopp to rebuild after an underwhelming season to date, and FSG say they are committed to finding the right people for the key jobs.
In a press release that was made public on Friday following a meeting of what was described as a "company-wide gathering" in Florida, Fenway say they remain focused on delivering success to all of their teams through the expertise of those in leadership roles.
FSG also say the club's Anfield Road development project remains on course for completion in time for next season as the Reds get set to host crowds of up to 61,000 from August.
"Fenway Sports Group (FSG), a global sports, marketing, media, entertainment and real estate company, today announced highlights from its annual meeting – a company-wide gathering in Bonita Springs, Florida, where leadership from each of the portfolio properties provide a business update to members of the FSG ownership group," they say.
"FSG continues to invest and focus on three key areas to grow its teams and businesses: talented leadership at each of its properties, the application of data and analytics, and the relentless pursuit of growth that fuel its baseball, football, and hockey operations."
On Liverpool specifically, FSG add: "FSG continues to prioritize and invest heavily in the preservation and improvement of Anfield and is currently on schedule to complete the Anfield Road Stand renovation by the beginning of next season to add over 7,000 seats of capacity.
"FSG is also prioritizing finding an appropriate high-quality training facility for the club’s Women’s team. In the past five years, FSG has invested over £250million in Liverpool F.C.’s infrastructure and created world-class facilities for its players, staff, and supporters."
The Reds' owners say they and the club themselves are pushing firmly to see UEFA implement the 21 recommendations made by the independent report into the chaos outside the Stade de France at last season's Champions League final.
The release states: "In the wake of the UEFA commissioned Independent Report concluding that Liverpool fans were not to blame for the chaotic scenes at the Champions League Paris Final, FSG and Liverpool F.C. continue to push UEFA and those at the top of the football pyramid to implement the 21 Panel recommendations to improve fan safety measures."
