An Epic Swindle: 44 Months With a Pair of Cowboys by Brian Reade

Synopsis
This book tells, for the first time, through the personal experiences and insights of the key people involved, the true horror of Tom Hicks' and George Gillett's disastrous 44-month reign at Anfield. It will tell how two men who knew nothing about football, and whose only ambition was turning a fast buck, managed to take over Liverpool without putting down so much as a cent. It tells how the naive buffoons who ran LFC gave the keys of one of the world's most iconic football clubs to the worst kind of leveraged buy-out sharks, with no questions asked. It tells how even the most hardened of Scouse cynics, including the author, fell for it. The endgame to this saga - the sale to the Boston Red Sox owners, Hicks' desperate attempt to sack the board, a renewed offer from Singapore, the High Court case and the Texas injunctions - is a drama worthy of its own book. Brian Reade's gripping account incorporates exclusive interviews with participants at every level, from the board directors to ex-manager Rafa Benitez, ex-players including John Aldridge and Ian St John, and current players Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard. 44 Months With a Pair of Vultures is the riveting story of how close one of the great football clubs came to financial implosion.
