John W Henry's confirmation that Liverpool is no longer for sale has at least brought some clarity for supporters this week.
The Reds' principal owner told the Boston Sports Journal that Fenway Sports Group are no longer exploring their options with regards to fully offloading the asset they purchased for £300m in October 2010. After three months of intense, daily speculation, talks of an outright sale in the region of £4billion were finally shot down by the man at the very top at Anfield.
Mr Henry said: "I know there has been a lot of conversation and quotes about LFC, but I keep to the facts: we merely formalized an ongoing process. Will we be in England forever? No. Are we selling LFC? No. Are we talking with investors about LFC? Yes. Will something happen there? I believe so, but it won't be a sale. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?"
