As Fenway Sports Group celebrate 15 years to the day since they completed their takeover of Liverpool Football Club, they do so with Arne Slot’s side the reigning Premier League champions and sitting second in the table. It’s a far cry from when they first walked through the door back in October 2010.

Roy Hodgson’s men had fallen to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to newly-promoted - and subsequently relegated come May - Blackpool at Anfield in what would prove to be the Reds’ last match under the ownership of hated owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

The loss left Liverpool 18th in the Premier League table, but a potential relegation battle was not the worst of their concerns at such a time.

The American pair had takeon over the club in 2007, saddled Liverpool in hefty debt and left the Reds on the brink of administration.
