Liverpool have avoided administration. Just. Quite honestly I was hoping that they would go into admin, just so they could clean out everybody and start over, but instead they have a saviour in John W Henry. He already owns the Red Sox and is not the richest owner, but he has now payed off their debt and he is optimistic about Liverpool's future.
The thing that worries me is that this guy doesn't, I don't think, know much about footy. Yes, of course he is better than Hicks and Gillett and he is willing to learn, but the fact is that Liverpool need very good footy knowledge very quickly. They're in the relegation zone, they're arguably still short of money and they're playing Everton this weekend, and honestly, I think Everton will win.
But, I do think that with time, maybe in a season or two, Liverpool will rediscover their previous level, or at least I hope so. No way to Tottenham or Man City replace Liverpool in the Big Four. The four teams are in stone in my opinion. What have Tottenham or Man City ever given english football apart from aggressive fans and money respectively?
