Ryan,

as it currenty sits Liverpool are as far from the top spot as this country is from being united. Not a lot to engender cheer with either

Fionnuala
In vain indeed as we have given him “cause- celeb" I am patiently waiting on Brain Mor to put Mickey the (peacetime) militant in cartoon form.
Though on the upside it is enjoyable as he tries to wind people up in here he would have more joy trying to wind up a digital clock.

All these insults are in vain as michaelhenry is currently on the 'Blue sky thinking' Leargas blog, telling the great leader how wonderful he is.

Marty,

Michael Henry has died whilst training to be a sky diver. Sources at the PTQ School Of Sky Diving say they have no idea why his flippers and snorkel did not open?

Anthony,

Apparently Liverpool have offered Chilean president, Sebastian Pinera, free season tickets for the rescued miners. Thirty one of them have already declared a preference to go back down the hole!

Yes AM Gav has some good points regarding john Henry, but keep in mind that the Boston Red Sox will always be priority number one for him in terms of spending money and Liverpool will probably be a neglected mistress. He bought them probably just to brag to his American friends that he owns an elite EPL team. Sorry AM but you are probably in for another decade of soccer misery. Not sure what's in a worse state-that of your beloved Liverpool or Irish republicanism.

Gav,

I don't see how it could be any worse than what has gone before. A very interesting history you have charted for us. Just hope you are right.

Larry,

you hope!!

Interested,

Mackers, what's your opinion of the Tom Henry takeover at Anfield? I think it will bring success back to the club as I lived in Boston and witnessed the end of the decline in the Red Sox and the revolutionary transformation effected by Henry and co. Their business model operates on and off the pitch and they appoint highly talented people to both management and administration. With the Red Sox they have spent wisely and shown a willingness to reinvest in the team and have been fully accepted by a very traditional and discerning fanbase - the club had been owned by the Yawkey family and foundation since the 30s. I would expect that the same will happen with Liverpool's fans although it will take time given their last experience with American owners. Obviously success will speed the process and if recent history of the Red Sox is anything to go by it will certainly happen.
