The US owners that have succeeded in English football

One of the biggest success stories in England for US owners is Liverpool, who are owned by the American Fenway Sports Group, headed up by co-founders John W. Henry and Tom Werner. The group, which also owns Boston Red Sox, has overseen redevelopment of Anfield and significant investment in the first-team squad to help Jurgen Klopp bag their first EPL title in 2019/20.

Wanderers secured promotion in the League One playoffs, resulting in a substantial rise in commercial income through broadcast rights.
