Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon insists they will calmly work on finding Jurgen Klopp's replacement as manager.
Klopp is stepping down at the end of the season.
Gordon said: First and foremost, on behalf of John Henry and Tom Werner, I would like to state our profound appreciation for Jrgen. It goes without saying that we will be hugely saddened to lose not just a manager of such calibre, but a person and leader for whom we have enormous respect, gratitude and affection. At the same time, we fully respect his wishes and the reasons why he has decided the current season will be his last at Liverpool.
In keeping with Jrgen's expressed wishes, we will save the comprehensive tributes for a more appropriate time but nevertheless, we would be remiss if we did not take this opportunity to reaffirm that his appointment remains one of the greatest blessings of our time as owners.
The incredible achievements of the intervening years speak for themselves, so too does the joy that Jrgen and his team have brought to all of us supporters. His many accomplishments will never be taken for granted. To appropriate an adage synonymous with another Liverpool managerial great, Jrgen Klopp 'made the people happy' and we have total confidence he will continue to do so until his eventual departure.
It is testament to Jrgen's unstinting professionalism and ongoing commitment to the best interests of Liverpool FC that his decision was arrived at in a way which allows for business as usual to be maintained for the remainder of his tenure while simultaneously creating an opportunity for us to prepare for the future.
Our priority now is two-fold. First, to ensure that the progress that has been made on the pitch this season is maintained in the final months of the campaign. Second, to continue the due diligence behind the scenes which will allow our football operations department to adapt to a future without Jrgen. As ever, these ambitions will be pursued in the best interests of the club and its supporters and we will update fans as and when significant developments are made.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to place on record our gratitude to Jrgen for everything he has done and continues to do for Liverpool Football Club. Thank you, Jrgen. When the time comes, you will never walk alone."
