English soccer club Liverpool was finally bought a few days ago by the same owners as the Boston Red Sox. Tom Hicks and George Gillett both agreed to be co-chairman of the club. Liverpool was under no ownership since the start of the season in mid August. They have been struggling throughout the beginning of the season and hopefully this will be the decision that turns their season around. They need a spark and some new players. Hicks and Gillett will try to provide the spark they need. Liverpool is currently in alot of debt, and new rich owners to get out of their financial crisis. With Hicks and Gillett they got exactly what they were looking for. Hopefully these two men can quickly get liverpool back on track before it is too late. They won a world series for the Red Sox after just two years of ownership so Liverpool is certainly looking for those same results.
Roy Hodgson, Liverpools current coach finds himself in a sticky situation where his contract was set to expire when new ownership took over. Hodgson started coaching Liverpool this season after taking over for recently fired head coach Rafa Benitez. Hodgson so far has struggled as Liverpool is only 1-3-3 to start the season. There worst start in the last ten years. He is hoping that the new owners will continue to let him coach and turn things around for his new soccer club.
