Liverpool not for sale, says CEO Peter Moore

Despite suggestions earlier this month that Liverpool Football Club is for sale, the club’s CEO Peter Moore has said that this is not the case and points towards a unity among all tiers of leadership wanting the club to move forward.

A report from the New York Post recently claimed that Liverpool owners FSG were “quietly” entertaining takeover offers but the Reds’ CEO Peter Moore has come out to rubbish these claims.

He cited the ongoing development at Kirkby and the plan to merge the Academy and the first team as evidence to suggest that there is no plan to make a massive change at the club in terms of ownership.

While it seems likely that FSG will one day look to make  a huge profit and sell Liverpool, that day is not coming anytime soon.

“The owners, since they took over the club as stewards, have invested £2m in capital investment, that’s building things, investing in technology and investing in this new main stand,” Moore told the Independent.

“Investing as we are right now in Kirkby where we are building a brand new performance centre for our first time. For the first time ever we will have our first team and our academy together.

“That’s a £50m investment right there. I think what we have is an ownership group that totally understands what it means to be in charge of this football club.

“That understands this city, understands the needs for its fans, they are in it for a very long term, there is no short-term thinking, no short-term investment in this club.

“They believe in what’s going on under Jurgen Klopp on the pitch, what’s going under Michael Edwards our sporting director.

“In the back rooms of Melwood, soon to be Kirkby, and hopefully they believe in what we are doing and what my team is doing in the business of football.

“That this to become a self-sustaining business model that can refresh itself every single year. In a nutshell, great owners, understanding owners, patient capital that is building for the future.”
