Liverpool Football Club: Dire Straits To Say The Least

Posted on by

To say the last 6 months have been turbulent for Liverpool FC would be a great understatement, current owners Gillette and Hicks have driven the company into unbearable debts and are doing all they can to sell it off and selfishly salvage some profit. Previous manager Rafa Benitez came under huge criticism as he led the club into one of their poorest seasons in history.
