Henry addresses Reds supporters
Prospective new Liverpool owner John W Henry has begun his dialogue with fans, expressing his hope that the ownership issue is "sorted soon".[LNB] The 61-year-old owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise is awaiting a High Court decision before he can complete a £300million purchase of the club.[LNB]That legal process begins in London this morning when the club's major creditors Royal Bank of Scotland take current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to task over their attempts to change the structure of the board contrary to previously-agreed undertakings.[LNB]Henry is keeping a close eye on developments but he will not comment on the ongoing situation.[LNB]However, in a move which will immediately endear him to supporters who have witnessed the 'at arms length' leadership of Hicks and Gillett he has started to engage with fans via the social networking site Twitter.[LNB]"Hello LFC supporters," he opened up with this morning.[LNB]That undoubtedly brought a barrage of questions and comments to which he responded: "Thanks Yes, everyone is hoping for the best. There have been enough twists and turns. Hopefully all gets sorted out soon; LFC moves forward.[LNB]"It would be inappropriate and presumptuous at this time to respond to questions. In the interim, we're all rooting for the same thing."
