Sound of Football Podcast 58 - Liverpool's 7th inning stretch and other baseball cliches

Join us for another edition of The Sound Of Football Podcast. This week we don our reflective hats and try to make sense of the crisis at Liverpool FC.

We discuss the thinking behind Tom Hicks and George Gillett's tactics in dragging the new ownership bid through the courts. We wonder if, in John W Henry, Liverpool will be getting a new owner who will use the same methods as their would-be predecessors to bring success to the club. We lament the plight of Roy Hodgson, a coach we all admire and ask the rather obvious question, is the Liverpool manager on borrowed time?

We also consider the nuclear option: what will happen if the court finds in favour of Hicks and Gillett? We also manage to include at least five quotes from The Simpsons, which must be a pod record.
