How much have Liverpool spent on transfers under FSG?
Liverpool may have only won one Premier League title during the competition’s existence, but they remain one of England’s very biggest clubs.
The Reds’ triumph in the 2005 Champions League final was followed by a period of very little domestic success and Fenway Sports Group (FSG) purchased the club in October 2010.
Although Liverpool remained near mid-table obscurity for several years, they soon mounted a title charge under Brendan Rodgers before Jurgen Klopp was hired in October 2015.
