Liverpool legend Steve Nicol believes NESV can get it right at Anfield.
The New England Revolution coach says NESV's background in sports makes them attractive owners.
"These people understand what running an enterprise like Liverpool is about," he told the Daily Mail. "The Red Sox are held in the same sort of esteem as my old club and they've kept their traditions, taken care of the name and won championships.
"I can't remember any other owners coming into football with a background like that, can you?"
So how do the American owners turn things around?
"The hardest decision they have to make is who to give the money to? Do they give a transfer pot to Hodgson in the January transfer window, or do they wait?
"I believe they will wait. They will strengthen the team in a couple of positions in January, but they won't go crazy this time around, not unless some superstar drops from the sky right into their laps.
"They've already forgotten about the Champions League. Next season will be the big push - and that means spending serious money. Right now, they won't be 100 per cent convinced Hodgson is the man they want to give that money to.
"That's not meant as a slight on Roy, it's only natural for any new owners to want to wait and see.
"The trickiest challenge is always picking the football side. Luckily for NESV, that's where someone like Kenny Dalglish can also help. He's been there and done it, whether it's managing, operating behind the scenes or scouting players. Not many clubs have someone like that sitting on their doorstep."
