Paul Wheelock is joined by Ollie Connolly of the Liverpool.com website to tell the tale of Robert Kraft, the man who almost bought Liverpool twice, and his Boston rivals FSG, who did become the owners of a club they have taken back to the top of world football. Ollie talks about the differences between Kraft, the owner of the hugely successful New England Patriots NFL team, and FSG, who have created American sporting history of their own with the Major League Baseball team Boston Red Sox, and why Liverpool fans should be grateful events turned out the way they did after the despised Tom Hicks and George Gillett were forced out of Anfield. Ollie also looks at FSG’s Reds reign, their appointment of Jurgen Klopp and the infrastructure they have put in place behind the scenes, and what the end game could be for John Henry and Co, with a surprising answer.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.
