Chris Bascombe used to write for the Liverpool Echo; he was considered one of the few journalists who really had the inside scoop on LFC. Now he’s with News of the World which has destroyed his credibility among many Liverpool fans. Still, it’s hard not to be troubled by this story, “Hicks and Gillett arrived with the promise of stability—now they look a pair of LIVERFOOLS”:

Humiliating backtracking over the design of their new stadium and an undignified showdown with their manager Rafa Benitez has been accompanied by revelations the American duo have been struggling to secure a £350million refinancing package.

Now plans are under way for Dubai International Capital to revive their interest in Anfield, oust the Americans and head off a potential catastrophe. . . .

A change of ownership would not only save the manager, more significantly, it will help restore and preserve the traditions of the Merseyside club which are currently under the most serious threat of its 115-year history.

How clueless Yanks are when it comes the beautiful game. Destroy your own worthless sports . . . leave the world’s game alone.
