The club is owned by billionaire John Henry’s Fenway Sport Group (FSG), which bought the club for £300million in 2010.
FSG is another club owner with a background in US sport, running the Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball team.
It has also come under fire for its financial operations during the pandemic, having furloughed all non-playing staff in April before performing a U-turn and apologising to fans.
Last month, FSG received investment from basketball star LeBron James who increased his stake in Liverpool, while investment firm RedBird Capital invested 735million dollars (£527million) in the sports team owner.
