Liverpool's hierarchy are piecing together a £100million rescue package to try to turn round a
season that has been branded 'a disgrace' by one of their own players.
Anfield bosses hope to have the cash injection in place by January and will be eager to avoid any
delays after keeper Pepe Reina turned on his own team-mates and berated their Champions League
failings.

While Michel Platini's plans for reform in European soccer may, at first glance, appear a serious
threat to English soccer club Liverpool's future in European competition, the club's long-term
future may be significantly brighter once the new measures are put in place.
Liverpool were one of the clubs namechecked by Platini when discussing his reforms in an interview
with the Daily Telegraph newspaper, saying: "If Liverpool pay €60 million (interest) every year
to the banks, it's a lot of money.

It's belt-tightening time for financially troubled Liverpool and it appears they're starting
with a group that should have gotten squeezed out already. Former owner David Moores, who resigned
from the club's board back in June, and other ex-directors have had their sizable perks package
taken away, which included "keeping all their directors' box privileges and traveling all expenses
paid with the team in Europe.

It's an understatement to say that Tom Hicks and George Gillett have not endeared themselves to
Liverpool fans over the last two and a half years. Since the undynamic duo took over, a catalogue
of public embarrassments have made Liverpool into a laughing stock at times, all of which could
have been avoided had the board simply chosen Dubai International Capital (DIC) as the club's new
owners.

Tonight's first home game of the season at Anfield will see Liverpool FC supporters' union Spirit
of Shankly leafleting outside the ground to garner support amongst Reds fans against the club's
American owners.
The Union issued a statement yesterday blasting Tom Hicks and George Gillett for manager Rafa
Benitez's apparent lack of a substantial transfer budget this summer, with the Spaniard seemingly
not even permitted to have at his disposal the full amount he has raised himself in the transfer
market.

Liverpool FC's inability to win the title since 1990 has been blamed on a various people over the
years, including David Moores; Rick Parry; Graeme Souness; Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and, most
recently, Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The real blame, however, for the club's abject failure to
bring home the trophy Bill Shankly famously called ‘our bread and butter' lies solely at the feet
of one man: former President of South Africa and anti-apartheid activist, Nelson Mandela.

The man who owns the New England Patriots gridiron franchise has revealed that he thinks investing
in English football just doesn't make sense in the absence of a salary cap.
Liverpool came very close to being owned by another American businessman a few years ago, but
Robert Kraft, a man who has overseen the resurgence of the New England Patriots in the NFL over the
last decade, didn't buy the club because he felt that there were too many flaws with the way
football was run in England to make it worthwhile.

will, however, retain his position as Club Honorary Life President.

Former Liverpool chairman David Moores resigned from his post on the board of directors at Anfield
today.
Coming from one of the richest families in Britain owing to their creation of the Littlewoods
franchise, Moores took over the role of Liverpool chairman in 1991.
However, with the Reds needing an increase in investment funds, Moores sold his 51% majority shares
in the club to the current owners - American businessmen George Gillett and Tom Hicks - in February
2007.

Liverpools old Chairman David Moores has resigned from the board of Liverpool Football Club.
This will be good news to the Americans as Moores had been Liverpool's link to the past and was
trying to keep things running in the Liverpool way.
The fans might see it the other way. Could the Americans be changing things in a way that Moores
doesn't like?

So, 5 years after relegation, the famous Black and Gold strip of Wolverhampton Wanderers has
made a belated return to the Premiership after Saturdays tense 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at
Molineux. It's an impressive return from a complete turn around from the side relegated from the
Premiership under Dave Jones back in 2003-2004 season, Jones was unable to push them back up and
was replaced by Glenn Hoddle but he also failed in his attempt to return Wolves back to the
Premiership.
