Liverpool are NOT up for sale? Actually, that could be good news for fans who want to avoid moral dilemmas. FSG have hardly been a disaster... twoht

What sort of distraction had all this background noise created? Certainly, the apparent confirmation that the club had been put up for sale in November didn’t seem to help matters on the pitch. But correlation doesn’t necessarily imply causation and when the news broke as Liverpool beat Spurs at the end of the first week in November, the team followed that with three further consecutive wins.
This feeling of change isn’t limited to the top end of the Premier League, either. The European Super League has revived itself with a new ‘cool dad’ aesthetic, having apparently belatedly realised that Death Star chic isn’t a strong look in a battle for hearts and minds; talking of which, Juventus were docked 15 points for financial malpractice while Barcelona are being investigated over payments to a company owned by refereeing official.
There have certainly been missteps along the way. Being one of the driving forces behind Project Big Picture was a big mistake, as was their signing up for the European Super League. And there have been others, including attempting to trademark the word ‘Liverpool’, putting their staff on furlough at the start of the pandemic, overpricing their tickets for the 2016/17 season, and the manner in which club legend Sir Kenny Dalglish was sacked in 2012.
Sensible investment in the money raised by the extraordinary £142m sale of Phillipe Coutinho to Barcelona in January 2018 put the finishing touches to a team that saw both the Champions League and Premier League return to Anfield, the latter for the first time in more than three decades. The Super Cup and World Club Cup were also added to that list. If FSG are ‘bad’ owners, it’s the sort of ‘bad’ to which supporters of most other clubs wouldn’t object – in terms of silverware, at least.
