Is John Henry actually trying to sell Liverpool Football Club?

Rumors are swirling about John Henry and Fenway Sports Group potentially selling Liverpool. Are they true?

The news about the potential Liverpool sale came from the New York Post, in which they said the following,

"Henry — who on Oct. 28 was busy popping champagne as the Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series — is running a “passive sales process” for Liverpool, according to a source close to the situation. That means Henry is privately entertaining offers in an informal process that’s outside of an official auction — and is looking for a price well north of $2 billion, the source added."

Quickly after, the club managed to shut down these claims. However, this news is huge for all Liverpool supporters, as Fenway Sports Group has helped us really make leaps and bounds in the past few years.

Sure, we all were complaining for their exit, after they would not open their pockets window after window, as we watched our competitors buy away freely. But they have changed many fans’ outlook on their company, heavily investing in talent over the last two years. In just the past two seasons we have bought: Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho, and Naby Keita. Talk about investment for the present and future.

Having some of these players in the team was a huge reason the team was able to reach the pinnacle of European football, losing in the final of the Champion’s League to Real Madrid.

Not to mention, FSG has also sunk loads of money into renovating Anfield by building up the main stand, as well as giving $50 million to create the new Kirkby Academy which will house all the Liverpool teams.

This type of ownership is crucial for success in today’s football market, and it truly would be a shame to see them go, if the rumors are true. If you look at the progress we have made as a club in the time of their ownership, it has been immense. The club’s sense of pride is as big as ever, and the fans are ready to go on another crazy journey with the Reds. They have promoted community as one of their main pillars, along with Liverpool being more than just a football club.

Also, it should be noted that FSG brought in some guy by the name of Jurgen Klopp, pretty decent am I right? Personally, I do not believe these rumors for one second. Sure, John Henry would see a good return on his investment from the $300 million he bought Liverpool for in 2010, but why would he keep investing hundreds of millions if he did not want to see returns on that money as well?

Mr. Henry is a business man after all, but why would he want to step down off of one of his best investments that he has ever made? Food for thought.
