# Liverpool: Reds react as Fenway Sports Group add LeBron James as partner

**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](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/16/sports/fenway-sports-group-adds-lebron-james-partner-approves-deal-jump-start-plan-acquire-more-teams/), 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.

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’.

Find all of their verdicts down below.
