Sell Liverpool

    Tom Hicks, the Texas private-equity and sports investor, said a dysfunctional management structure and favorable market led to Friday's announcement that he and partner George Gillett will sell the English soccer club Liverpool.

     The sale, which will be handled by Barclays Capital, would bring to an end a three-year tenure for Messrs. Hicks and Gillett at the helm of one of the world's most storied sports franchises, which has been dogged by financial pressures, a strained business partnership and a fractious relationship with the club's fans.

Choice of Euro 2012 cities faces delay 

The Ukrainian capital Kiev and the city of Donetsk are expected to be named as 2012 European championship venues but UEFA's executive committee could delay naming the other Ukrainian host cities.Sources close to the committee have told Reuters that all four of the cities put forward by co-hosts Poland to stage matches in three years' time should be named as expected: Warsaw, Poznan, Wroclaw and Gdansk.

However, doubts remain about the viability of the Ukrainian cities of Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk to stage games. Kharkiv, on the reserve list of nominated venues, could yet be chosen ahead of them, although Odessa, also on the reserve list, is unlikely to be nominated.
