Liverpool chairman Tom Werner breaks silence on FSG's plans to sell club

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has confirmed Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are looking to sell the club - but insisted there is "no urgency" to do so.

It emerged earlier this month that the American owners of the Anfield side are keen to sell and have put together a full presentation for interested parties. They have retained Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to assist with the process of selling as they gauge interest and invite offers.

Werner, co-founder of FSG alongside John W Henry and chairman of Liverpool, has now offered an update on the process in his first public comment on the situation. Werner told The Boston Globe: "We’re exploring a sale, but there’s no urgency, no time frame for us, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s business as usual. One outcome could be our continued stewardship for quite a while."
