As Fenway Sports Group add LeBron James, one of the most well known athletes in the world, as partner – alongside approving a significant investment from RedBird Capital Partners – many Liverpool fans have flocked to Twitter to react to the news.
James, as first reported by the Boston Globe, has become a partner with FSG as the Liverpool owners’ ambitious growth plans take a major step – with a New York based investment firm also being added.
Is this big news for Liverpool?
Definitely
No
The NBA superstar, and his business partner Maverick Carter, are now taking a more active role in global sports ownership having been a part-owner of Liverpool since 2011.
In addition to this, FSG have also approved a $750 million (£538.9 million) investment from RedBird Capital Partners – prompting many Reds to react as this ‘huge’ news emerges.
Given the profile of James and his now larger role as an FSG partner, combined with their owners acquiring a significant investment, it’s safe to say why many supporters believe this is indeed ‘massive’.
