Been a while since we’ve heard about Tom Hicks’s adventures in Liverpool — where he’s headed this week, matter of fact, in advance of Liverpool FC‘s weekend’s
shoot-out with Chelsea. And depending upon which UK paper you read, the owner of Your Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars is either looking to sell, most likely to a Middle Eastern interest …
Hicks and co-owner George Gillett have to sell up by the summer. It is about the only thing they agree upon. They borrowed the money to buy the club and the loans are due to be repaid in July.
