LONDON - More than 500 angry Liverpool fans marched on the club's Anfield ground on Thursday and burned the US flag in protest at the English giants' American owners, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Five-time European champions Liverpool have been saddled with 351 million pounds (422 million euros) of debt since American businessmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett took over the club in Feb 2007.
Spanish coach Rafael Benitez was sacked on Thursday after a season that saw Liverpool finish seventh in the Premier League and crash out of the Champions League at the group stage.
