Description
Liverpool FC came within hours of being re-possessed by the banks after a disastrous 44-month reign by American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The story of this tumultuous period is told with passion, wit and insight by Brian Reade, who reveals the turmoil at a revered sporting institution run by two men at war with each other. The tale of how close one of the great football clubs came to financial implosion is a riveting account of the naked greed at the heart of modern football.
