Henry and Werner knew little of Liverpool

Last updated : 12 October 2011 By Adam Bryant

"Very little. We knew virtually nothing about Liverpool Football Club nor EPL," said Henry.

Werner, who is now chairman, also admitted not knowing too much about the club

"I had been in sports so I was aware of the EPL and its strength globally,"  he said.

"But I didn't know the inner workings of it. I certainly knew about Manchester United.

"We feel we deserve the fruits of our labour. That is the difference with the EPL. If we can generate interest in Liverpool here and around the world, we will benefit from that."
