Fenway Sports Group (FSG) marked their 15th anniversary as Liverpool owners on Wednesday with a reflective message to supporters, acknowledging both their achievements and past mistakes while insisting their long-term ambitions for the club remain unfinished.
Principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner, and FSG president Mike Gordon issued a joint statement on Liverpool’s official website, thanking fans for their continued support and commitment throughout their tenure.
“Thank you for welcoming us, for believing in this team through every high and low, for telling us when we've fallen short,” they said. “Today is a day to look back with gratitude. But it's also a reminder that our work isn't done. There’s still so much more ahead of us – more to achieve, more to win, and more memories to make, together.”
Since FSG completed their takeover in 2010, Liverpool have enjoyed a resurgence under their ownership. The club ended a 30-year wait for a league title by lifting the Premier League in 2020 and added another league crown last season, equalling Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles. They also lifted the Champions League for a sixth time in 2019, along with multiple domestic and international honours.
Off the field, FSG have overseen substantial investment in infrastructure, including major expansions to Anfield Stadium and the construction of a state-of-the-art AXA Training Centre in Kirkby. The owners reiterated that safeguarding Liverpool’s long-term stability has remained central to their strategy:
“From the outset, our primary aims were simple: to bring success back to Anfield and to ensure the long-term health and stability of this great club. We understood the responsibility that came with being its custodians, and we’ve tried to honour that every single day.”
While highlighting success, FSG also acknowledged difficult moments and missteps during their tenure. Notably, the club faced heavy criticism for its involvement in the failed European Super League project in 2021, which sparked global backlash and a subsequent apology from Henry. Fan protests also forced the club to reverse proposed ticket price increases in 2016.
“Off the field, there have been times we've got things wrong. We know that and we have learned from it. All our decisions are made with the best long-term interests of the club at the centre of our thinking.”
Despite 15 years of progress, FSG insist their stewardship of Liverpool enters a new chapter with continued ambition to compete domestically and in Europe.
“Our work isn’t done,” they concluded. “This club exists to win, and we remain fully committed to supporting that ambition in every way possible.”
With Liverpool competing on multiple fronts this season and the club undergoing strategic evolution following Jurgen Klopp's era, FSG’s message underscores their intent to remain central to Liverpool’s future—both on and off the pitch.
