Liverpool news: FSG finally name price as bids now ‘invited’ for huge takeover | Football | Sport
As usual for the Carabao Cup, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp handed press conference responsibilities over to assistant Pep Lijnders on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s tie against Derby County. The Dutchman was full of praise for what FSG have done for the club when asked about a potential sale.
Lijnders said: “Everybody who knows us as a club knows we have a strong relationship with the owners. I always know the owners act in the best interests of the club and always have done. The statement was very clear.
“They also tied down our top players. And we have a stable Academy. They have invested in it, and they have invested in this training ground, one of the best in world football. It wasn’t easy to leave Melwood. Then there’s the Main Stand and the new stand.
“If they weren’t good owners we wouldn’t be sat here. We have won a lot of cups and a lot of international prizes. Do I feel they are here for the long-term? I think the statement was really clear, to be honest.”
