Tom Hicks and George Gillett rolling in dough while L.F.C. is skint

By now you probably heard that Tom Hicks has sold The Texas Rangers (his baseball team) for $500 million, this follows the sale of the Canadiens Hockey team by George Gillett last year for around $600 million.

Yes that is right both of the Liverpool owners have $1.1 billion from the sale of their North American sports teams while L.F.C. is sinking in debt.

Unfortunately both of these sales indicate that both Hicks & Gillett look set to hold on to Liverpool for a long period of time. My question is why do they need new investors to pay off the debt when they have all this cash?

If both of you really care for the club then do the following:

1) Pay off the debt.
2) Give Rafa money to spend on players.
3) Start building the new stadium.
4) Get the hell out.
