Sure, Red Sox lost, but owner Henry wins

We noted yesterday that a British judge refused to stop the acquisition of the Liverpool FC football (soccer) club by Boston Red Sox owner John W. Henry.  Looks like Henry has closed the deal.  Story here.

The Liverpool purchase is the second attempt to get a major soccer franchise for Henry’s New England Sports Ventures.  A year ago the group lost the bidding for Frances Olympique de Marseilles.
