Everyone as a Liverpool supporter This is a great day for Liverpool Football Club and the supporters.
new owners will wipe out debt and target silverware
Liverpool's prospective new owners have promised to bring the glory days back to Anfield and wipe out the club's acquisition debt.
New England Sports Ventures (NESV), the owners of the Boston Red Sox, have had their £300million bid to take charge at Anfield accepted by the club's board.
The planned takeover has been delayed, with current co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett launching a legal challenge to proceedings as they seek a higher price in exchange for their stake.
But in a move designed to ease the fears of supporters following their most recent experience of owners from across the Atlantic, NESV have outlined their track record of success at the highest level.
"NESV wants to create a long-term financially solid foundation for Liverpool FC and is dedicated to ensuring that the club has the resources to build for the future, including the removal of all acquisition debt," a statement read.
Rightful place
"Our objective is to stabilise the club and ultimately return Liverpool FC to its rightful place in English and European football, successfully competing for and winning trophies.
"Since 2001, New England Sports Ventures has made successful investments in sports and entertainment properties.
"Our portfolio of companies, including the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park, New England Sports Network, Fenway Sports Group and Roush Fenway Racing are all committed to one common goal: winning.
"NESV wants to help bring back the culture of winning to Liverpool FC.
"We have a proven track record, shown clearly with the Boston Red Sox. The team has won two World Series Championships over the past six years. We will bring the same kind of openness, passion, dedication and professionalism to Liverpool FC.
"We are hopeful with regard to the pending legal and English Premier League procedures now under way, however, in light of these issues, we will respectfully refrain from comment or further actions at this time."
YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE
