"This is the perfect owner. He might not have all the money in the world, as some of the other clubowners, but hes dedication and genuine interest in the club is way more valuable than money. The owner, that Liverpool deserves. Now the only thing missing is a Shankly-minded-scouse manager."
"Brilliant, so at least he can make educated informed choicea and decisions, on how he spends his money. A wise man. The total opposite of H&G, who were only bloodsuckers."
"Henry actions & atudes towards the clubs is a welcoming change to what H&G never attempted. His plans of bringing up homegrown players to our first team is very agreeable with us fans. Well done so far Mr Henry now let's put all this plans into action by providing much needed funds in Jan to improve the squad to challenge not only for 4th but the tle as well. "
"I think our owners are doing the right things all the time. I`m looking forward to the upcoming transfer windows. We desperately needs new high quality players and I hope they can provide that!! But so far so good! YNWA"
"Mr Henry's atude to LFC is fantastic. We don't need a billionaire owner like the owners of City. Their money is creating more problems than its solving. Henry's plan is long term to provide us with the ability to support ourselves financially for years to come and in terms of the squad its great we're going after the best young homegrown talent."
"One final point, Leave Roy Alone We are at last turning a corner. We were proved wrong about Benitez, he had years at Anfield surviving on Istanbul. He inherited the European Champions and made a complete hash of it. "
"Craig4794: There are only two types of managers in the prem. Those with philosophy, like Fergie, Wenger, and Ian Holloway; and those with boooooring football all over the air. You do know which type our current gaffer is, don't you?"
"Craig4794 I totally agree with you! Roy Hodgson is doing a good job and the performances against chelsea, spurs and Aston Villa suggests he is trying to bring attacking flair and the old Liverpool style of pass and move back! So lets give him this and the next season before we made to harsh judgements!"
"inherited the european champions !! your having a laugh, although an amazing victory, if replayed we could easily lose, deserved to win in 07 more. and as for a complete hash of it, alot of that goes to h&g in my view, if we got only half the players that we were meant to,benitez would still be here, love to see him under henry ownership "
"DAIHIRE: You missed the point not us as Champions, Inter as European Champions! Inter are 5th in Serie A, their lowest in 2 years they were humiliated by Gareth Bale twice, by Athletico in the cup winners cup and from the game i watched at spurs, Inter have gone from Jose's technical football to Rafa's 2 holding midfielder leave the best players on the bench mentality."
"moqadmodar We have what we have at the moment Id love to see us play like Barca winning 5-0 every week Our defense was poor technically we're getting there we need is a little more creativity If Torres & Maxi had finished at Spurs with their chances we would have been 3-0 up at half time. Question for you, Who do you think would be better then Roy now with us in the mess Rafa, H&G left us in?"
"
I think RH Listens to fans, I never liked Him before, but He listens as he is now sticking to the generally wanted 4-4-2 formation wanted by fans, at same time attacking and defending well. Please lets give Him some more time He would prove His worth from Newcastle match and sign good Players thats what I feel. YNWA 4 EVER!"
"Can only be good news! I've been the grateful observer of Mr. Henry and NESV's commitment in actions and statements. So far they've done everything right and I actually think they will go on and become better and better for the club in the future. Making targeted progress each time I read about them. Henry loves Anfield and Anfield loves Henry.. - It's an exciting marriage!"
"Well, it's certainly a lot more positive and encouraging than the lack of interest shown by the previous two chumps...aka Waldorf and Statler...One word of pragmatism...if we can, over the years, bring in and bring through a core/majority of homegrown excellent players...we would need to gradually blood them alongside at least a few 'big' stars..."
"Mtchristian...good point...LFC fans worldwide are e-mailing en masse into Boston Globe hack ALEX BEAM's inbox...just Google ALEX BEAM Hillsborough and you will find that this lowlife wrote a disgraceful, sickening piece of rubbish in which he slates the city and people of Liverpool and denigrates our fans. contd"
"Worst of all, ALEX BEAM makes the outrageous accusation that Hillsborough disaster was caused by rioting LFC fans. I clicked on this link .boston.com/lifestyle/articles/2010/12/07/alex_beam_hardball_in_liverpool/?camp=localsearch:on:twit:beam AND NOTICED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS DISGUSTING GARBAGE OF A STORY."
"Still can't believe how fans can compare Rafa to Woy. Rafa had an excellent first few years with the club winning us cups and not to mention finishing 2nd in the league. This is Woy's first season and we are already 8th and out of the league cup with a chance of getting out of the FA Cup as well. He is yet to sign ANY world class players whereas Rafa had signed us 5! "
"I WOULD SINCERELY HOPE THAT MR HENRY PAYS A VISIT TO THE BOSTON GLOBE OFFICES AND MAKES THIS FOOL ALEX BEAM REALISE HE CANNOT GET AWAY WITH SLANDERING 96 INNOCENT LFC FANS WHO DIED AND WERE VICTIMS OF APPALLING TREATMENT BY AUTHORITIES ON THE DAY OF THE DISASTER AND HAVE BEEN SLANDERED IN THE YEARS SINCE BY THE S#N. YNWA. JUSTICE FOR THE 96."
"Will LFC and MR Henry OFFICIALLY DEMAND AN APOLOGY FROM ALEX BEAM AND THE EDITOR OF THE BOSTON GLOBE FOR PRINTING THEIR LIES ABOUT HILLSBOROUGH.??. HOPE SO. YNWA."
"It's a good move to get young stars, but we'll need to buy 1 striker at the peak of his career too in January. Spend some money on the striker and spend the rest on the starlets"
"It shows a true desire that wasn't there with the previous owners but actions speak louder than words and minor deeds. Lets see how things go in the summer. Also I am sure that RH is NOT the man to push to the higher echelons of football longterm. We need to think REALLY big. Mourinho style!"
"moqadmodar - are you actually rating Ian Holloway over Roy Hodgson?? Perhaps LFC should have got Paul Jewell when he had a good run with Wigan, Steve Coppell after Reading's first season in EPL or Phil Brown after the win at the Emirates - what do you reckon?
"
"I am not very impressed with Henry esp when he has not seriously confirmed any new player for 1st team. so far he has been keeping silent. until I see some results I cant say anything since he alos is a yunkie just like tom, george gillet. "
"Does anyone else follow the owners other team? The Boston Red Sox? Worries me a bit in the last few weeks he has signed 2 of the most expensive free agents in baseball and the manager is about to get a new deal. Hope he remembers the other side of the pond as well and will do the same "
"I feel very positive about the club's future. We all owe Martin Broughton a debt of graude for forcing through the sale of the club to NESV. I am sure in a year or two's time we will be reaping the benefit of John Henry's purchase of our great club. ynwa"
"Ages 25 or under is the sort of age we should be looking at. I would only bring someone in thats older if they are on the cheap... like joe Cole was... well he was free lol We need to bring players in like Benzema (cant spell hes name lol) Eden Hazard. even Ashley Young... keep them young! xD"
"DAIHIRE i agree with u, would love 2 see benitez under henry and with a bit of cash! remember he signed alonso torres aquilani kuyt agger and probably more. he needed a bit more cash and had one unlucky season cos alonso left, masch wanted out and torres and gerrard were injured. simple! however he did make dodgey decisions and i think if hodgson buys well we can conquer!"
"Rafa Benitez 1st choice targets under Henry and will reach the heights once again in Europe and have the squad strong enough to compete in the league as well as all cup competitions
We missed out on loads of quality players due to Dumb and dumber fleecing us.
Well done Mr Henry YNWA
"
"I appreciate so much his vision of Liverpool FC, his desire to get particularly young talents for developing their football qualities and skills and one day maybe put them in the first team as done for the likes of Kelly, Pacheco, Spearing, ...
Excellent perspective for this club!"
"Benitez & Houllier to be sacked by x-mas. Some people's rose coloured glasses kept them here for way too long doing so much damage. Now you all suddenly want to pull the trigger on Roy. Give him a chance. Things are looking up. "
"" The new owner seems to be a nice enough guy, however, I worked in the USA, and with Americans and in business they can be as hard as nails! Let,s face it he didn't get where he is by being benign,lets wait and see shall we. There is know doubt about the fact his lady and she is a lady, is a big improvement over looking at Tom Hicks or his chubby son!!!"
