LONDON - Nearly 10 years after Fenway Sports Group took over Liverpool, owner John W. Henry said that he could not be prouder of the English Premier League football club after they won their first top-flight league title for 30 years.
Liverpool claimed the Premier League title in June with seven games to spare after the season resumed following a three-month suspension due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Under Jurgen Klopp, the Anfield club had won their sixth Champions League crown last season but Henry said getting their hands on the league title for a 19th time was the icing on the cake."I just want to say that you've waited a long time for this ... this really feels sort of like the gift that keeps on giving.
Henry, whose Fenway Sports Group took over Liverpool in October 2010, also praised Klopp for his role in the club's success. "I could go on and on about Jurgen and how his heart is larger than his frame, how his enthusiasm affects all of us positively every day," he said."But I think what's important is he is determined every day to do the right thing, whether it's with regard to what happens on the pitch, whether it's regard to nutrition for the club... and that rubs off."
