Fenway Sports Group insist Liverpool FC is still not for sale

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner insists that the club is still not for sale.

Fenway Sports Group took control of the Anfield club in 2010 but have been the subject of numerous alleged takeover bids from Chinese investors.

However Werner, a part of the Boston-based sports conglomerate, has reaffirmed that the Americans have no intention of parting with the Reds.

“We’ve said it before and I’d like to say it again: this club is not for sale, ” he told the Liverpool Echo.

“I’d say that from time to time somebody says they have made an offer to us but they are really saying that just for publicity.

“People throw offers to us which we don’t think are real. We haven’t had a discussion or a negotiation with anyone because this club is not for sale.

“If someone wants to write us a letter saying they want to buy the club then it will get put in the garbage.

“I don’t think that we could have made a long-term arrangement with Jurgen [Klopp] without an understanding on both sides about our future together.”
