REDS ALERT

LIVERPOOL owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have warned their rivals in the Premier League and Europe that they are lank nie klaar titles gewen nie.

The Premier League champions are currently second on the log ahead of Sunday’s blockbuster match against fierce rivals Manchester United at Anfield.

And with the team coming under critcism for their performances in the first seven games of the season – despite winning five of those – FSG has   come out to bat for the Reds, wysing their “work isn’t done” yet.

Marking 15 years at Anfield on Wednesday, principal owner John Henry, Liverpool chairperson Tom Werner and FSG president Mike Gordon also thanked fans “for telling us when we’ve fallen short” in a message on the club’s website.

Under the Americans’ ownership, Liverpool won the English league title for the first time in 30 years in 2020, adding another Premier League crown last season, and celebrated a sixth Champions League triumph, in 2019.

It has not all been plain-sailing, with significant mis-steps including the club’s ill-advised involvement in the proposed European Super League, which prompted a swift apology and U-turn from Henry. Club bosses also scrapped controversial ticket hikes after a fan protest.

They said in their joint statement: “Off the field, there have been times we’ve got things wrong.”

Addressing the fans, they said: “Today [Wednesday] is a day to look back with gratitude. But it’s also a reminder that our work isn’t done.

“There’s still so much more ahead of us – more to achieve, more to win... ”
