Spirit Of Shankly, the Liverpool Supporters Union, accepted an invitation to today meet with NESV representatives John W Henry and Tom Werner.

It was an informal meeting, to allow us to discuss with them the issues we as a Union deal with, and the issues supporters have faced in the past three years. The meeting gave us encouragement that we as supporters will be listened to, and that the new owners recognise the task ahead.

Supporters have worked tirelessly to ensure our concerns are listened to, and that our voice is heard. John W Henry himself said “If it wasn’t for yourselves and supporters doing what you have, we wouldn’t be here now.” It is important that supporters are recognised and we hope that this is the beginning of an ongoing, positive relationship, that allows us all – supporters, players, manager, the board and the owners – to be pulling in the same direction that allows our football club to succeed and prosper on and off the pitch. We look forward to future dialogue.
