Moores has struck it Rich
Brian Reade 7/06/2008 Mirror
There's been much head-shaking among Liverpool fans over David Moores flying Lionel Richie in to perform at his wedding anniversary bash.
But give the guy a break. If you had just seen a Bank of Texas cheque for £88million clear, you wouldn't be hiring a Paper Lace tribute band, would you?
Think of it as flying the flag for Liverpool. Thanks to the men Moores sold the club to, Rafa Benitez has to sell players to bring in any top foreign stars.
But at least the club's Honorary Life President can splash the cash to bring the odd one in. At least he can afford to keep Liverpool a global brand eh?
Besides, it's been obvious that Moores is a big a fan of dusky Rick Parry-lookalike, Richie. Remember last year when the DIC deal was supposed to be going through?
Sheikh Maktoum kept asking "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" how Moores told him I'm not Stuck On You, turned into a Penny Lover and spent All Night Long, Dancing On The Ceiling with a pair of cowboys. Truly.
You'd laugh if it wasnt so funny 
There is no-one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.
