I would not be happy if I was a fan of Liverpool FC. They have new owners, one of whom is Tom Hicks, who also owns the Texas Rangers. You can sum up his experience with Texas with one 'word': A-Rod. It was Hicks who signed Alex Rodriguez for 10 years at $25m per year.
And how many championships did the Rangers win before A-Rod and most (but not all) of his contract were off-loaded to the Yankees? ZERO. Hicks bought what was a fairly successful team (from G.W. Bush, among others) and managed them into mediocrity. I don't know much about Hicks's partner George Gillett, who owns the Montreal Canadiens, but Hicks's involvement doesn't bode well for the Merseysiders.
