Though Fenway Sports Group will remain a point of contention among fans, ex-chairman Sir Martin Broughton has defended their Liverpool reign. FSG’s reign at Anfield continues to be the most divisive topic for supporters, and former chairman Broughton recently gave his verdict during an interview with This Is Anfield. Broughton acted as chairman in order to oversee Tom Hicks and George Gillett’s sale of the club back in 2010 – a takeover which was eventually completed by FSG at what was a precarious time for Liverpool. It was a sale which ultimately saved the club, with administration a very real possibility, and since then Liverpool have gone on to win every trophy possible.

Speaking on the current owners 13 years on, Broughton highlighted the role FSG have played in the club’s most successful spell of the 21st century. “It seems to me that they’ve delivered on what they promised to deliver basically, which is always a very good place to start,” declared Broughton.



Broughton also discussed the importance of developing Anfield rather than moving elsewhere, something which had been considered an option during the Hicks and Gillett era.
