Fenway Sports Group are open to the idea of selling Liverpool.
While parting company with the Reds - the most valuable property in their £10bn empire - may have always been an option for anyone willing to pay crazy sums, the stance of FSG in their statement to the media on Monday suggested that they may be a little closer to that scenario than previously thought.
The Boston Globe, a newspaper owned independently by FSG chief and Liverpool principal owner John Henry, cited sources that claimed the engagement of major banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley was ascertain whether it could, or should, seek new minority investors or whether it should make a clean break and sell the £3.6bn valued team for a 1,100 per cent profit on the £300m that the firm paid for it back in 2010.
