While the uncertainty created relating to the decision of Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group to open themselves up to offers for the football club the line has remained that it will be "business as usual" for the Reds and their custodians.
Liverpool chairman and FSG's second in command, Tom Werner, told the Boston Globe as much last month, and while there have been numerous names linked as potential bidders for Liverpool the ECHO has been told by well-placed US sources that there is "nothing real" at present and that a "strategic partner" remains the preferred outcome.
It is also understood that the ownership situation won't impact upon plans for the transfer market, although those moves are likely to come in the summer as opposed to January.
