We asked for your reflections views on Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group completing 15 years since their takeover of the club.
Here are some of your comments:
Niall: Two Premier Leagues and a Champions League, alongside various other trophies! And let’s be honest, if it weren’t for Manchester City, we’d have more too. We’ve been blessed with one of the greatest managers in the club’s history, all the while spending quite little in reality (except for this summer, of course, where we went crazy), so yes, they have been a great success.
Steve: FSG are fantastic owners. Sports people who seem to recruit well at all levels. When I look around the league, I feel fortunate that they are the owners.
Mark: Fabulous. Have won everything and bought the best players. No complaints.
William: Honestly, this is by far the best management group in modern-day football. Prudent, financially savvy, with the best interest of the football club. Yes, it is a business, but it’s a very successful business.
Ian: I think I can say for everyone that new owners should always come with a warning label, but over the past 10 years, the way the club has invested (and not invested) at the perfect time has grown us into the Premier League powerhouse we are today. Not many fans could have hoped for such a fantastic relationship between us and ownership.
While most fans we heard from praised FSG for turning the club around, there were a number who remain frustrated by the ownership’s attempts to join the European Super League in April 2021.
Henry: There’s no doubt that FSG have done a wonderful job in bringing Liverpool back to the top of English and European football, and I’ll always be grateful for that. But ultimately, I will forever remember them as the people who tried to bring in the European Super League and tried to take football away from the people, to fill their own pockets.
Adam: Mostly good. Should have backed Jurgen Klopp a bit more, think they realise that now. Also should have made a bit more mention of Klopp in the statement. Missteps regarding furlough and Super League, but would I swap them with any other owner? No.
