Liverpool issue response to key FSG demand from fan group Spirit of Shankly over club sale

Spirit of Shankly have been informed that Fenway Sports Group's stance as Liverpool owners remains the same - and they are only open to a third-party acquisition - despite increasing speculation about the American group's full ownership at Anfield.

The supporters' union contacted Liverpool Football Club on Monday after a report in The Athletic claimed that FSG, led by principal owner John W. Henry, had produced a sales deck for interested parties and were inviting offers for the club they purchased for just £300m in October 2010. It had also been claimed their major American banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been passed the responsibility of assisting the process by beginning the evaluation process.

However, SOS have been advised that FSG's position on welcoming potential third-party investors has not changed and they would welcome additional financial support "under the right terms".
