It wasn’t that long ago when FSG were seriously considering passing the club into another’s hands.
To go from that position to this one is quite the remarkable turnaround and one that could very much benefit the future running of the club.

If it means that John W. Henry and Co. remain custodians of the club for an even longer time – it’s not something we’re opposed to either.
