A New Ball Game?

After the Hicks & Gillett soap opera which almost dragged Liverpool Football Club into the sporting abyss, the arrival of John Henry & his NESV consortium was widely welcomed. So far, so stable in the boardroom at Anfield. The news recently that the US basketball star LeBron James is a shareholder in the club (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/apr/07/lebron-james-liverpool ) was greeted with bemusement by many.
Mindful, however, of the old adage that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, it may be necessary for the club's supporters to keep an eye on any developments in this story.
