Back in September 2011, when your Carmine Hose were in the midst of the worst collapse in baseball history, the
Fenway Sports Group (read: the NOG) refinanced the debt of the Liverpool soccer team—to the tune of $181.1 million. More recently,
the NOG injected more cash into their little English Premier League toy—this time a $70.6 million interest-free loan. The "Reds" have fallen out of the European soccer elite and missed the revenue stream that would have come with participation in the lucrative Champions League. Ring a bell? Good thing these guys love baseball!
