It’s 15 years to the day that FSG saved Liverpool Football Club from potential bankruptcy after George Gillett and Tom Hicks had run the club into the ground.
John W. Henry, Tom Werner and Mike Gordon have issued a statement on the anniversary of 15th October 2010. Here’s just an excerpt…
“When we first became involved with Liverpool, we knew we were joining something extraordinary and we hoped we could restore such an incredibly storied institution to standards it had previously set – but we could never have imagined exactly how the next 15 years would unfold.
“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. We understood the responsibility that came with being its custodians, and we’ve tried to honour that every single day. We also understood the scale of the challenge but recognised the potential that could be realised if everyone pulled in the same direction.
“Looking back now, it’s not only been quite a journey; it’s also been an incredible adventure that we, as owners, have been privileged to be a part of.”
