<p>Liverpool announced it sold a minority stake in the club to a United States investment group. Fellow American firm Fenway Sports Group (FSG) will still maintain a vast majority stake in the club. Nevertheless, Dynasty Equity is acquiring a small percentage of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> side.</p>



<p>“We are honored to partner with FSG and support the remarkable legacy of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/liverpool-tv-schedule/">Liverpool</a> in a strategic partnership that builds upon mutual respect and deep relationships among our respective teams,” <a href="https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/fsg-announces-strategic-minority-investment-lfc-dynasty-equity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proclaimed</a> Jonathan Nelson, Dynasty’s executive chairman.</p>



<h5>New investors will not give Reds more money to spend on transfers</h5>



<p>The move will, however, not give the Reds a massive boost in transfer funds for new players. Instead, the minority investment helps FSG and Liverpool pay off previous debt. This includes easing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as paying off recent summer transfer fees. Dynasty will also help financially with recent renovations to Anfield and the building of the team’s training facility.</p>



<h2>FSG still plans on being with Liverpool for long haul despite debt</h2>



<p>FSG also maintained that the decision will not affect their long-term plans with the club. “Our long-term commitment to Liverpool remains as strong as ever,” FSG president Mike Gordon <a href="https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/fsg-announces-strategic-minority-investment-lfc-dynasty-equity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a>. </p>

<p>“We have always said that if there is an investment partner that is right for Liverpool then we would pursue the opportunity to help ensure the club’s long-term financial resiliency and future growth.”</p>



<p>“We look forward to building upon the long-standing relationship with Dynasty to further strengthen the club’s financial position and sustain our ambitions for continued success on and off the pitch.”</p>

This was mostly down to the team’s repurchase of a training ground and incoming summer transfers. As a result, FSG had been looking for a new partner to take on a minority investment in the club. FSG chose Dynasty after talks with several other financial firms.</p>
