Liverpool’s chief executive Peter Moore has dismissed rumours stating that owners Fenway Sports Group are open to listening to offers for the club, Sky Sports reports.
Fenway Sports Group purchased the Reds back in 2010 and recent reports in the United States had been suggesting that the company would listen to any potential bids for Liverpool FC.
However, Moore has come out and said that the group are committed to the Merseyside club for the foreseeable future.
The owners, since they took over the club as stewards, have invested £2m in capital investment, that’s building things, investing in technology and investing in this new main stand.
Investing as we are right now in Kirkby where we are building a brand new performance centre for our first time. For the first time ever we will have our first team and our academy together.
That’s a £50m investment right there. I think what we have is an ownership group that totally understands what it means to be in charge of this football club.
That understands this city, understands the needs for its fan, they are in it for a very long term, there is no short-term thinking, no short-term investment in this club.
They believe in what’s going on under Jurgen Klopp on the pitch, what’s going under Michael Edwards our sporting director.
In the back rooms of Melwood, soon to be Kirkby, and hopefully they believe in what we are doing and what my team is doing in the business of football.
That this to become a self-sustaining business model that can refresh itself every single year. In a nutshell, great owners, understanding owners, patient capital that is building for the future.
FSG have come under fire from Liverpool fans in the past but the mood towards them seems to be softening in recent months.
