Henry: We bought Liverpool to win things

New Liverpool owner John W Henry says NESV have bought the club to win.

With baseball's Red Sox, NESV have been credited with breathing new life into a struggling franchise, and Liverpool supporters will hope they can achieve similar results with their new project.

Henry said: "We bought Liverpool because this is our chance to compete at the highest level in the world's most popular sport. You don't get that very often."

He added: "We know it's about revenue and about generating the revenue to compete.

"In Boston we've gone toe-to-toe with the New York Yankees which is the same as going toe-to-toe with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. It's a huge challenge but we're aware how much work it's going to take to do that."
