Good news for all Liverpool FC supporters. The club has been sold to another American company, New England Sports Ventures (pending a court hearing). Apparently the Tom and George had sought to stop this deal from going through in which Ian Ayre and Christian Purslow were being removed from the board. So now the sale will only go through if the court finds in favour of Ian and Christian. Hears a quote from Martin Broughton - LFC Chairman.
"I am delighted that we have been able to successfully conclude the sale process which has been thorough and extensive. The Board decided to accept NESV's proposal on the basis that it best met the criteria we set out originally for a suitable new owner. NESV's philosophy is all about winning and they have fully demonstrated that at Red Sox.
"We've met them in Boston, London and Liverpool over several weeks and I am immensely impressed with what they have achieved and with their vision for Liverpool Football Club.
"By removing the burden of acquisition debt, this offer allows us to focus on investment in the team. I am only disappointed that the owners have tried everything to prevent the deal from happening and that we need to go through legal proceedings in order to complete the sale."
Hope this deal goes through and Ian and Christian wins the case. Lets also hope this is gonna be the beginning a the resurgence of LFC. YNWA!!
And here's the new owner - John Henry
