Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders has credited Fenway Sports Group for the team's rejuvenated form this season.
The Reds could not qualify for the Champions League through their Premier League finish last term.
But they are back with a vengeance in the domestic league this term, as they sit top at the halfway stage.
Was their summer spending a surprise? No because we knew we could invest and knew in the summer we would invest," Lijnders said to reporters.
"Cody Gakpo was a summer signing that we brought forward to January. We could do that early and it was great. If you look at the number of players we have brought in, that is really great, in my opinion.
The way we do business and the way our ownership works - of course you are relying on Champions League money, but not so much because we do our things really well. If we do not have it, we don't do it.
"If we have it, we do. Sometimes it is because salaries are going away when players go, so this can make a big difference to whether you do things or not. If you see it when it happens it is more complex than you think. Champions League money is about a lot of things.
"There is not a good manager without good ownership. The ownership invested in the squad where we needed to invest and that's already a really good sign.
"You bring energy, power, talent, young players and that energizes the manager and the coaching staff because you are working with new players and you have to explain the idea again. So that's one thing."
