Liverpool owner John W Henry[LNB]And he said: 'We have a unique skill-set at Fenway, and it is perfectly suited to breaking what they call curses. We had an 86-year drought at Boston for winning a World Series.[LNB]'We did that, and we have a 20-year drought for winning the first division at Liverpool. Liverpool has never won a Premier League.[LNB]'There was a very strong feeling amongst us that we were uniquely qualified to break the 'curse'. Even though we didn't know the sport, we knew the sports business and knew what it takes to put together a sports organisation.'[LNB] It really was a long time ago... Liverpool's last title success came back in 1990[LNB]Liverpool did taste European glory in 2005, with victory over AC Milan in the Champions League final. But it's the domestic title they crave at Anfield, particularly with United matching the Merseysiders and their 18 league successes.[LNB]Henry added: 'It gives me goosebumps to think we could deliver a Premier League title to Liverpool - it's what we are there for, we have no other agenda than that.'[LNB] ?50m for Torres?
