News about John W. Henry

With many PGA stars softening their resistance to LIV Golf, retired player and current commentator Brandel Chamblee is doubling down on his criticism of the Saudi-backed upstart. And it's not just the moral dilemma over accepting millions from a brutal regime. He simply doesn't enjoy the LIV Golf format, which centers on team play, shotgun starts, 54-hole events, and the kind of atmosphere one might expect from a NASCAR event or even the WWE. 'They're out there playing music and taking pictures,' Chamblee told the 'No Laying Up' podcast.

According to details, Endeavor Group Holdings and Fenway Sports Group are among US investors considering a potential affiliation with the PGA Tour. PGA officials and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - the country's sovereign wealth - announced a dramatic merger in June, as well as the DP World Tour. The dramatic news came after months of controversies and back-and-forth between the two teams as Saudi's breakaway LIV Golf tournament attracted some of the best players in the game away from the traditional tour.

As the club seeks more investment, Liverpool principal owner John W. Henry has maintained that Fenway Sports Group's'remains stronger than ever.' Liverpool would not be sold outright, four months after the first news broke that they were considering a auction. He explained that FSG was still looking for a third party that could raise the club's money and continue to grow it. Henry also stated that the corporation is still committed to the club's long-term success.

MARK SHAPLAND EDITOR ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR: According to investment bankers, the most likely scenario is for Henry to find out how much money Liverpool is worth. The fastest way to do this is to sell a small stake in the club. A five percent majority Henry can determine how much money the whole team is worth by offloading, according to the authors. This is an old trick that was last seen by Manchester City in 2019, when 10 percent of the club was sold to Silver Lake, a US tech private equity behemoth, for $500 million (£415 million), valuing the whole operation at nearly $5 billion. Cue many stumbling faces as City did not have the funds and Silver Lake had never invested in sports before. But city officials needed a valuation more than ten years after buying the club in September 2008 for £210 million.

CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Many rationalizations can be made: the weak pound, the rise of state-owned rivals, and the monetisation that is at the forefront of venture capitalism can all be justified. Nonetheless, Fenway Sports Group's decision to place Liverpool on the market confirms what English football feared. After all, the Super League was the game of the season. When John W. Henry (left), with Jurgen Klopp and center, and his co-conspirators, discussed tactics, the only way he'd return was to play our game and emerge as one of the victors from the smoking ruins. Now the Super League's vision has faded, Henry has lasted through all of one season before deciding on the For Sale banner. We can assume that this has been in the pipeline for many months as agents such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley aren't working overnight and full sales presentation brochures are not produced in a day.

After the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, took to Twitter to express their delight, Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to share their delight. FSG acquired Liverpool in 2010 and have enjoyed a great deal during the ensuing period, but supporters have been overwhelmingly critical of the club's transfer activity lately. Fans of Liverpool's latest expansion are now confident that there will be more investment in new players under new ownership.

After learning about Liverpool's participation in the European Super League, Jordan Henderson was'shocked.' He said the club's decision to accept the breakaway plan made him 'angry,' according to him. Liverpool was one of Europe's top-12 clubs, including England's Big Six, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Inter and AC Milan, who secretly planned and agreed to the hated scheme. Henderson said that the scheme, which collapsed within 24 hours, put the Liverpool squad in a difficult situation. However, he did praise John W. Henry for the swiftness with which he later paid attention to the fans and dropped out of it.
