As the 10-year anniversary approaches of FSG taking over at Anfield, and with Liverpool on the cusp their first Premier League title, the Liverpool ECHO’s Sean Bradbury catches up with the club’s former chairman Sir Martin Broughton. He talks the deal that saw John W Henry’s group take charge, including how close George Gillett and Tom Hicks were to putting Liverpool into administration. We also hear how impressed Sir Martin has been with FSG’s stewardship of the Reds, including how they’ve added value to the club’s worth, and even any potential ‘exit strategy’ they may have. Enjoy.
