Fenway Sports Group have released somewhat conflicting statements on the topic of a potential Liverpool sale since first announcing their intention to seek investment opportunities.
The situation has since been clarified with yet another Merseyside-based journalist stating that a total takeover ‘remains the desired outcome’.

Have followed Liverpool All over, all my life. I don’t want to see another FSG takeover, in the form of HBSE, and see us continue to struggle, coz of no transfer fund’s, whilst the Mancs, and Newcastle, leave us behind. I’d rather us educate from within, of the club’s, and city’s politics, and Human rights stance. Win more European cup’s under the Arabs, or become another Leicester under HBSE. YNWA ❤️
