Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan feels sympathy for Liverpool FC supporters over the way the club has been run.
Whelan was speaking in the wake of his club’s first-ever Premier League win over the Reds on Monday thanks to a first-half strike from Hugo Rodallega.
Whelan believes the Merseyside club is in a financial mess and that American owners George Gillet and Tom Hicks do not feel the passion of the supporters.
"The big sympathy I have is for the Liverpool supporters because they are a fantastic lot," he told Sky Sports News.
"Liverpool are in a mess. The owners, being American, I don't think they feel what we (British club owners) feel.
"I'm really, really sorry for their supporters. We went to Anfield earlier in the season and there's absolutely no atmosphere and no heart at all at present.
"The supporters feel that and I think the players are starting to feel it."
