Liverpool owner makes it clear he’s not considering selling the club

Liverpool owner John Henry said his commitment to the Premier League club had grown even stronger, vowing to continue to “invest wisely” in the team in the transfer market.

Henry, 73, head of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), denied last month that the club was up for sale despite seeking new investment. In November, the FSG said it would “consider taking on new shareholders if it is in the best interests of Liverpool as a club”.

“While we have formalized the process that identified potential investors for the club, we remain fully committed to the long-term success of the club. It’s been that way since day one in 2010. Our daily efforts have been and remain focused on the club’s long-term competitiveness.

Investing in a club is never short-term. This approach has been successful for a long time, but patience is required from time to time. We have seen many football clubs go down an unsustainable path. We will continue to focus on making smart investments in the transfer market and we continue to be incredibly proud of our team. Our commitment to the club remains stronger than ever, — quotes the words of Henry BeSoccer with reference to Echo.

Liverpool are fifth in the current Premier League standings.
