Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina admits the stability brought by Fenway Sports Group restored his faith in the club.
Reina revealed in his autobiography that he considered leaving Anfield for Arsenal in the summer of 2010 only for former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to block the transfer fearing it would send out the wrong message to any potential buyers.
In the end, the decision over the future of the Reds was taken out of the American pair's hands when it was sold to FSG amid increasing financial concerns.
Reina admits writing about those difficult times under the former owners was not easy, but the Spaniard believes the future is bright under their new owners and Kenny Dalglish.
"All the stuff about the club being threatened with administration - those were the most difficult bits," Reina said at the launch of Pepe: My Autobiography.
"It was a pretty tough moment for everyone, not just me.
"Everyone at Melwood, Anfield and around Liverpool were not very happy with the club, team and the performances.
"They were tough moments but once again I knew a club like Liverpool was not going to be sitting waiting for it to go into administration and fortunately we found good owners and the stability came back."
