A week ago I had never heard of the Dallas Stars, the Texas Rangers or the Montreal Canadiens let alone the random American Billionaires, George & Tom, who now own my beloved Club.
I was never convinced that DIC were the way to go, like some reds I know. Yes, they had bags of money, yes they knew how to breed horses and dig for oil but it seemed that we'd just become a rich young rulers play thing for a while before he got bored. David Moores said he could only sell the family jewels once and I guess the fact that he never actually had the chance to look the Sheikh in the eye and ask him 'What are your intentions for the club?', must have had him a little nervous. Instead it was always middle men.
So although I wasnt keen on American ownership either it would appear at least that we've into the hands of two likeable blokes. I have to admit that their little charm offensive yesterday - kind of won me over. I mean only time will tell but they seem to know what they are doing. So i will have to get used to being LFC being called a franchise but hey it might just be worth it

I think the new owners learned a few lessons from the Glazer/Man Utd fiasco and actually got off there backsides and made the effort to talk to and meet people! Time will tell?
the charm offensive worked on me too, especially the comment that they wanted to be "hands-off".
