Red Sox CEO Lucchino says Henry and Werner’s biggest concern is baseball success

By Kevin Koczwara

Larry Lucchino is the president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox, and he’s part of the ownership group that makes up The Fenway Sports Group, which owns not only the Red Sox but also Liverpool FC, Roush Racing and NESN. Lucchino has never wavered from his support of the Red Sox or his love of baseball. He hasn’t had too much to say in regards to the ownership groups other properties, namely Liverpool. He’s always been front and center with all of the ownership team’s baseball operations, so when he came out today and told Boston.com readers that the Red Sox were front and center for principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner it was of little surprise in Boston.

But it could be read the wrong way with Liverpool sitting mid-table in the Premier League and its manager struggling with a thin squad.

An Open Letter to Liverpool Owner John Henry

By Bill Farnham

Editor’s Note: This post is in response to the letter John Henry published to the fans on Sept. 3, 2012.

“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”

I’ve been here before, and you probably have as well. The anticipation of a new season and the hopes and dreams that come with opening day have been replaced by cold, hard reality: Liverpool will not achieve as much as hoped for, or finish as highly as anticipated. This doesn’t mean I will stop cheering or care any less, but there is a bit of sadness in having to rein in my expectations for the team a mere five games into the season.
Here’s the frightening part: if I changed Liverpool to Boston and five games to 24 (15 percent of a Major League Baseball season), the statement would still hold true, which brings me to the topic of Fenway Sports Group, the owners of both the Liverpool FC and the Boston Red Sox. FSG are poised, rather precariously, at the start of what will be their defining period as owners of the glorious institution that is Liverpool FC.
