# Liverpool: Fans fume after major FSG development

**According to a report by [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-fsg-bid-rejected-henry-23974917.amp?__twitter_impression=true), sharing a big Fenway Sports Group (FSG) development, Liverpool’s owners have rejected a bid of almost [£3bn](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-fsg-bid-rejected-henry-23974917.amp?__twitter_impression=true) for the Merseyside club from an unnamed investor – prompting many Reds fans to vent their fury over this news.**

FSG purchased the Merseyside club from previous American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who had plunged the Reds into £350m worth of debt ([Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/who-are-liverpools-owners-fenway-sports-group/1rag4ff3i7jor19zqk3csntasm)).

During the current ownership, Liverpool steadied the ship financially and slowly re-established themselves as a top four club, but they have come under serious fire recently for a very controversial decision.

Liverpool’s involvement in the now-suspended European Super League (ESL) as a founding club prompted waves of backlash – so much so that, after the club effectively pulled out of the proposals alongside the rest of the ‘big six’, principal owner John W. Henry released a [public apology to supporters.](https://talksport.com/football/869127/liverpool-owner-john-w-henry-apology-european-super-league/)

The relationship between Reds and their FSG ownership [appears more strained than ever](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2021/04/liverpool-fans-deplore-fsgs-embarrassing-and-pathetic-statement/), and news has now emerged that they recently rejected a £3bn takeover bid just before the ESL saga.

Flocking to this big development, there was no shortage of eruption from Liverpool supporters to this news – you can see some of their verdicts below.
