Simon Jordan has always seemed to be rather fond of Liverpool.
The former Crystal Palace chairman has often lauded the way things have been done at Anfield, with him also being rather impressed at the transfers they made in the summer.
However, none of this would be possible without Fenway Sports Group taking over and saving Liverpool from the brink of administration.

Of course, there have been times when mistakes have been made, but more often than not during their decade-and-a-half in charge, FSG have done the club well.

And now, the American businessmen have owned Liverpool for 15 years, Jordan has reflected on what they’ve managed to achieve and whether he thinks they’ve done a good job.
Simon Jordan thinks FSG have done a great job with Liverpool
As mentioned, Liverpool were in a bad way before FSG took over.
Indeed, there have been times when it’s just felt like doom and gloom, but the last few years have shown how much of an impact they’ve actually had on the club.
And, now that they’ve been in charge for 15 years, fans have been reflecting on the memories that have been created with Jordan, now saying that they’ve “done very well” during their stint.
“John Henry, while not being the most vociferous of characters, has routinely employed very good CEOs,” Jordan said on talkSPORT.
“Whether it’s Ian Ayre, or Peter Moore, or whether it’s on the other side of the business, whether it’s other people that his management team have put into place, and player recruitment, which is the biggest spend they’ve got.
“I think that’s what the report would say that they’ve done very well.”
Liverpool’s new summer signings need to pick up their performances
As mentioned, Jordan was impressed with Liverpool’s transfer business in the summer.
At the moment, however, most of their new arrivals have failed to live up to expectations, with some starting to question why Liverpool spent £125m on Alexander Isak.
It’s still early in the season, of course, and there’s plenty of time for things to turn around, but with the way that everything seems to be panning out, unless they turn around their performances soon, their Premier League title hopes could be crushed.

Isak isn’t the only one guilty of not living up to expected standards, either, as Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez have also been under fire.
For now, there’s no need for fans to worry, but if they don’t beat Manchester United on Sunday, some serious questions will have to be asked.
