Fans stage Anfield protest

Thousands of Liverpool’s supporters staged a demonstration before the Barclays Premier League match against Manchester United at Anfield.

They were protesting at the way the club is being run under American co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks.

Fans are concerned at the team losing four games in a row – not to mention the level of debt accrued.

They gathered at the Liverpool Supporters Club on Lower Breck Road and marched to the Albert pub outside the Kop.

While it was a peaceful march, fans chanted: “What do we want? Yanks out. When do we want it? Now.”

Liverpool are already playing catch-up in the league and lost at home to Lyon in the Champions League in midweek.
