MLB and NHL join to own part of EPL!



Tom Hicks, owner of the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Stars has joined Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett Jr. in the bid to purchase English Premier League powerhouse Liverpool Football Club. After Dubai Sheik Muhamed-something-or-other dropped his take over bid. This I'm glad to see. We don't need any rags buying up the world's storied soccer clubs. The proposed bid is well over the $882 million offer the Sheik was placing. If the deal goes through, these to blokes will become the third owners of a topflight English club, joining The Glazers, who own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as Manchester United, and Randy Lerner owner of the Cleveland Browns and Aston Villa.
