Fenway Sports Group chief executive Sam Kennedy concedes their future plans for Liverpool are undecided.

However, Kennedy has hinted they're focusing on trying to attract American investment.

Speaking on the Private Equity Deals Podcast with Capital Allocators, FSG CEO Kennedy revealed he did not know what would happen with the 'investment' into the club and that it would be a case of seeing what the future held.

"We did a while back engage investment banks, we've been open about that," Kennedy told host Ted Seides.

"We've been open in our willingness to take on investment into the club, will it happen or not, I don't know. But we share a common vision with all of our partners and that is long-term. John (Henry, FSG principal) and Tom (Werner, Liverpool chairman) have been at this for 21 years but you would think they had been at it for 21 days. They are enthusiastic and excited for everything at Fenway Sports Group and think about what's next.

"We do focus a lot on ways that we can help increase revenues (at Liverpool) and the growth we've seen over in Liverpool has been extraordinary, and I think that's because markets like the United States are just sort of catching on to the excitement around this league.

"We'll see what the future holds for Liverpool but it's been an amazing business."
