| John Henry: NEW Liverpool Owner |
Liverpool fans can wave goodbye and good riddance to their American owners, and say hello and welcome to the new ones.
The Merseyside club have been sold at last to NESV, as the Liverpool Official Site said:
"New England Sports Ventures (NESV) today announces that it has completed the purchase of Liverpool Football Club.
NESV wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to the Board of Liverpool FC for their diligence and their efforts on behalf of the Club and its supporters."
The transaction values the Club at £300m and eliminates all of the acquisition debt placed on LFC by its previous owners, reducing the Club's debt servicing obligations from £25m-£30m a year to £2m-£3m.
New England Sports Ventures is committed to winning and currently owns a portfolio of companies, including the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Network, Fenway Sports Group and Roush Fenway Racing.
What great news this is for Liverpool and football as a whole, to rid ourselves of some truly selfish, greedy, terrible owners of a proud football club who will begin their rise to the top once again - no longer crippled by debts.
