As the Glazer family put Manchester United up for sale, the fact that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) recently announced that Liverpool is also up for sale could be a key component of any move. In recent months, the American owners have come under fire for the handling of the club and they have decided that their time as stewards of the Merseyside club could soon come to an end.
They have not yet accepted a bid, but they are willing to negotiate a deal over the sale. A statement from FSG stated: “There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.
“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club."
