Henry finds Reds fans at a low ebb
Liverpool owner John Henry has revealed initial talks with supporters' groups brought to light the feelings of "disenfranchisement" many Reds fans have towards the Anfield club.
Henry met with supporters and local MPs on Monday to discuss the future of the club in the wake of last week's takeover by New England Sports Ventures (NESV).
Having replaced the unpopular Tom Hicks and George Gillett at Anfield after a protracted buy-out which was dragged through the courts, Henry is keen to start making an impact as soon as possible, and today's talks were deemed a success by the American.
"We met with supporter groups. We didn't give any assurances - we're here to listen and to learn from them, and we learned a lot today," Henry told reporters at the conclusion of the talks.
"I think the biggest issue was the sense of disenfranchisement and their sense of not being a part of their own club, so that's what we discussed.
"This was a big first step."
