Dalgish unconcerned over visits by owners

This time last week the American, together with chairman Tom Werner, had arrived from the United States for one of their infrequent visits and relieved director of football Damien Comolli of his duties, closely followed out of the door by head of sports science and sports medicine Peter Brukner.

The pair missed Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final win over Everton having gone back to the US to watch the first home game of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Sports Group’s other major sports investment.

Dalglish, who has previously dismissed as nothing out of the ordinary newspaper reports suggesting he had been asked to provide a written dossier on the club’s mixed season, has spoken to Henry on his return this week but said nothing too much should be read into that.

“We spoke to the owners, we speak to them frequently enough in the normal course of events,” said the Scot, who last week was given the full backing of FSG by Werner despite a disappointing league campaign.

“They own the club and [if] they want to speak to the people they employ they are entitled to do that.

“It doesn’t matter (where they are), if you talk to someone you talk to them.

“We’ve had plenty of conversations but they will remain private.

“We don’t tell everyone what we speak about and I don’t think there is any danger of us ever coming out publicly and saying what our conversations have been.

“It it our own private business and that is the way it should be.”
