Torres And Babel To Make Anfield Exit?

 Liverpool’s recent success always found a way to be taken away quickly by conditions outside of their control.   Three yeras ago, their celebrations after winning in Istambul were cut short because their vacations were abbreviated after UEFA’s ruling forced them to play every qualifying round leading up to the group stages as a means to defend their title.     Now their success in Europe is marred by the news released on sunday that the embattled Liverpool ownership group might consider selling both Ryan Babel and Fernando Torres if they cannot pay back £31.5 million (US$63 million) that they borrowed in order to buy the Spanish international.   In the process, Texas billionaire Tom Hicks and his cohorts were able to secure a £350 million loan in order to finance the construction of the Reds new stadium being built in Stanley Park.  

In addition to the club, there is speculation that the Texas billionaire’s company, HIcks Sports Group. needs to be financed as well.   This is yet more problem that is piling onto the Anfield faithful as their brass is in the middle of internal bickering between Hicks, fellow American businessman George Gillett, and Liverpool CEO Rick Parry.
