Trouble at the Kop
Article Abstract:
The business empire controlled by the Moores family faces an uncertain future. This family has established a very strong position in Merseyside, England, particularly through its ownership of Liverpool Football Club. However, it is now being forced to consider a flotation of the football club in order to obtain new capital. Other options include some new type of debt financing or the sale of a stake to a media group. It now seems that outsiders may begin to establish a presence within the Moores business empire, which includes the Littlewoods retail chain.

Tougher than his old boots
Article Abstract:
Graeme Souness was a ruthless midfield footballer with Liverpool from 1978-1984. He then played for Sampdoria, Genoa, Italy. He became player-manager of Glasgow, but was sent off so often that he gave up playing. In 1991 he returned to Liverpool as manager. He improved training but financial problems meant he had to trade players. He manages by fear, but this is not producing good results. The team is degenerating but Souness will meet the challenge.
