Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes it was important for the club's American owners to see progress being made at Anfield this season.
The Reds finished seventh in the Premier League last season and missed out on European football altogether this season, something which, had it continued, could have damaged the club's commercial prospects.
However, Rodgers has Liverpool sitting top of the league this term and on course to win the Premier League; they need to collect seven points from their final three games to guarantee the title heads to Anfield.
Rodgers feels that the progress seen was vital this term and revealed the club's owners are happy with what they have watched on show.

"It's important for them to see that progress across the football club", he was quoted as saying by his club's site.
"They are absolutely delighted with what they've seen over the past 20 months and we talked about how we can keep the club moving forward, because that's vitally important.
"It's been an ongoing process since I arrived here. We don't want it to be just for this season, we want to sustain it over a longer period.
"That's something that was pretty clear for us all in the discussions we had when I came in. We wanted to establish something that would be in place for a long time."
