Henry: I don’t have ‘Sheikh’ in front of my name

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 yesterday 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 yesterday’s talks were deemed a success by the American.
