Hi lads.....
News is coming to us that Liverpool FC (an english soccer team) is to be bought by John W. Henry. I was hoping to get some info on the man, if possible.
Basically, we have been owned by Tom Hicks (Dallas Stars & Texas Rangers) and George Gillete (Montreal Canadiens) for the past 3 years, after initial promises from them that they would not purchase the club through a leveraged buy out... the completely reneged on it and heaped massive debt upon massive debt on us causing us to lose one of the all time greatest coaches amongst some of the best players in the world and have pushed us to extinction.
We are just hoping that Mr. Henry has our best intentions at heart and although nobody knows this for sure we would love to hear that he is a proper owner & that he does in fact have the finances to put us right again.
Any info you have would be greatly appriciated. We are a proud club, based on good morals and what we call "the liverpool way". Our fans are hurting and hurting hard. we are not Anti-American in any way, in fact some of our greatest sons have gone on to great things in your country, Steve Nicol the manager of the New England Revolution.
I know how passionate the boston people are, I am from dublin and know that our sense of community is identical.
Please watch the following video and look at the passion and hurt in or fans eyes. If you can help with info on Mr. Henry or anything else please do.
