Michael Edwards' FSG multi-ownership dream could be about to come true

Michael Edwards returned to the Fenway Sports Group in March 2024 as part of the post-Jurgen Klopp shakeup.

The former Liverpool sporting director was welcomed back under the FSG umbrella as the ownership group’s new CEO of Football.

And one of the key reasons cited for his return was the plans FSG had for establishing a multi-club ownership model.

Liverpool have fallen behind Premier League rivals like Manchester City and Chelsea - who have sister clubs in many different countries.

Edwards is said to believe the Reds can move forward decisively once a partner club is identified for a potential takeover by FSG.

FSG want to buy new club

The Boston-based owners of Liverpool have been close to cutting deals for other clubs in the recent past - including Getafe most recently.

But frustratingly for Edwards, Liverpool remains the only football club in the FSG portfolio. That could be all set to change however with reports emerging that ANOTHER team has now emerged on FSG’s radar.

It’s the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer - based in Foxborough, Massachusetts which is just south of FSG’s Boston base.

The Revs are currently under the ownership of Robert Kraft - who also boasts the New England Patriots in his portfolio.

FSG want to buy New England Revolution

According to Koptalk it appears that FSG are now studying the possibility of a takeover bid for the MLS side.

“FSG are looking at the New England Revolution for a possible takeover,” the report reads.

“There have been suggestions coming out of Liverpool that an MLS club is the next big league, especially after the World Cup later this year, and it fits into FSG’s model.”

Liverpool have recently tested the market for young talents - including Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien and Mor Talla Ndiaye from Aimite FC. The Reds are scouring the globe - not just the United Kingdom and Ireland - for the best young players around.

Sooner or later the Reds are going to require a partner club to send these talents on loan to in order to bridge the gap between the underage systems and senior football.

FSG have agreed to sell their NHL franchise - the Pittsburgh Penguins - to the Hoffmann family for $1.7bn. That in turn could free up cash for an investment in another US enterprise - including the Revolution.
