John Henry insists Fenway Sports Group are committed ‘stronger than ever’ to Liverpool.
Henry has spent the past 12-and-a-half years as Anfield’s figurehead since the Boston-based investment vehicle took charge of the club in October 2010.
The group’s long-term future as the Reds’ owners was thrown into uncertainty last November after it emerged they had cast the net for potential investors.
But Henry is adamant that FSG’s stance remains unchanged and reaffirmed last month’s insistence that the club is not on the market for a takeover.
“While we formalised a process that has identified potential investors for the club, we remain fully committed to the long-term success of the club,” he told the Liverpool Echo.
“That has been the case since day one in 2010. Our efforts every day have been and continue to be focused on the long-term health and competitiveness of the club.
“Investment in the club is never for the short term. This approach has been successful over the long haul with patience necessary from time to time. We’ve seen many football clubs go down unsustainable paths. We have and will continue to focus our attention on investing wisely in the transfer market and we remain incredibly proud of our squad.
“At the same time we continue investing in our training facilities, our main stand and currently the Anfield Road stand.
“These are all physical reflections of our resolve and how very seriously Fenway Sports Group takes its responsibilities for this great club. In regard to Liverpool Football Club, our commitment remains stronger than ever.”
