Last month FSG announced they were looking to sell Liverpool Football Club (or are willing to invite further investment from other parties) and Andy Robertson has now discussed what he and the rest of Jurgen Klopp’s team think of any possible sale.
The Americans have been in charge of Anfield since 2011 and while they have made a number of questionable moves during their time on Merseyside, they have done the club a lot of good and brought stability.
The Scottish captain, who is currently in Dubai with the rest of his team-mates preparing for the second half of the campaign, believes that off the pitch matters need to be controlled by others ‘much smarter’ than he is.
We can’t control anything [over ownership]Robertson told the Liverpool Echo (via the Express). “That is our way of thinking as a team, that is our vision and we cannot control anything.

“I think the owners we have have been very successful at this club and if they want to move on or whatever, then play fair. They have [been] nothing but good for me and nothing but good for this club in my opinion and yes whatever happens will happen and we will try to sit back and control what happens on the pitch.
“And if things need to be controlled off the pitch, we’ll let people who are much smarter than me and above me sort it out, that’s for sure!”
It is not clear at the moment if the FSG is ready to sell the club completely or if it is only looking for a partial sale.
There have been numerous names linked to a move to the Anfield team, but nothing more than speculation at this point.
FSG may have surprised some with some of their decisions during their time in charge, for example when they placed club staff on the government leave scheme during the pandemic and expressed willingness for the club to join the European super league proposed before. reversing both decisions.
But despite that, John Henry and company have rebuilt and continue to rebuild Anfield Stadium, completed our move to the state-of-the-art AXA Training Center in Melwood and overlooked the club’s return to the top of the game both at home as in Europe.
Whatever your opinion of our current owners, the club is in a better position than many of our rivals, both on and off the pitch.
The idea of bringing in new owners from the Middle East with questionable human rights records or an investor only interested in making a profit rather than benefiting the club and supporters is sure to cause uncertainty for many.
