Liverpool’s Fenway Sports Group Reflects On 15 Years Of Ownership And Future Plans

‎Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group have marked 15 years at Anfield, stating that their “work isn’t done” despite guiding the club back to the summit of English and European football.

‎Principal owner John W. Henry, chairman Tom Werner, and FSG president Mike Gordon reflected on their journey since taking over in 2010.

‎They acknowledged the club’s progress under their stewardship, including major domestic and international successes. The trio also thanked fans for their support and for holding them accountable “when we’ve fallen short.”

‎Under the Americans’ ownership, Liverpool won the English league title for the first time in 30 years in 2020, adding another Premier League crown last season, and celebrated a sixth Champions League triumph in 2019.

‎The club faced several missteps, including its ill-advised involvement in the proposed European Super League, which led to a swift apology and a U-turn from Henry. Club leaders also abandoned controversial ticket hikes following a fan protest.

‎”Off the field, there have been times we’ve got things wrong,” the management trio said in their joint statement.

‎”We know that and we have learned from it. All our decisions are made with the best, long-term interests of the club at the centre of our thinking.”

‎Addressing the fans, they said, “Thank you for welcoming us, for believing in this team through every high and low, for telling us when we’ve fallen short, and for showing the world what it truly means to be part of Liverpool Football Club.

‎”Today is a day to look back with gratitude. But it’s also a reminder that our work isn’t done. There’s still so much more ahead of us more to achieve, more to win, and more memories to make, together.”

‎Under FSG, there has been significant investment in infrastructure at Anfield and a new training ground has been constructed.

‎But their most visible achievements have been on the pitch, celebrating a record-equalling 20th English league title last season.

‎”From the outset, our primary aims were simple: to bring success back to Anfield and to ensure the long-term health and stability of this great club,” said the owners.

‎”We understood the responsibility that came with being its custodians, and we’ve tried to honour that every single day.”
