Linda Pizzuti Henry, wife of Fenway Sports Group's principal owner John W. Henry and co-owner of Liverpool, has made a bold statement following Manchester City's guilty verdict on most of the Premier League financial charges.
She shared a graphic featuring Jurgen Klopp and a quote:
No matter the sums compensated in the coming years, it won’t make up for what Liverpool has been deprived of. The damage goes beyond the balance sheet.
To recap, an independent commission found Manchester City guilty on 114 out of 115 charges covering the period from the 2009/10 season to the 2017/18 season. The report confirmed the use of fictitious commercial deals and inflated earnings by more than £900 million. City denies all allegations and plans to appeal, while sanctions—including potential fines, point deductions, or title removals—are to be determined at a separate hearing.
This timeframe for Liverpool notably includes the 2013/14 season, where the Merseysiders finished just two points behind Manuel Pellegrini's side. The stance from FSG reflects the opinion that financial compensations and bonuses cannot replace the trophies and historical moments lost during the club’s era.
