Liverpool's "Yanks"

You might (or might not) remember when in February I wrote these words: "I would not be happy if I was a fan of Liverpool FC". I wrote that when Texas Rangers's Tom Hicks and Montreal Canadiens' owner George Gillett bought Liverpool FC.

Well, here we are not even a year later and it seems that Hicks and Gillett are having some serious money issues. I wish I could understand what makes American billionaires believe that they can run English soccer clubs better than billionaires who actually know something about the professional game as it exists in England?
