Man U fan advises Liverpool sale

One has to feel for Colin Gillespie, the PricewaterhouseCoopers corporate finance partner who was the lead adviser to the Liverpool board on the sale of the club to Americans George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
Gillespie, you see, is a fan of fierce Liverpool rivals Manchester United, but had to bite his tongue when the boss told him to start pulling some long hours at Anfield.

And if that was not humiliating enough, Gillespie actually had to miss a few Man United games and crunch through the Liverpool numbers instead. Gillespie promises TS that he was professional at all times and that football ‘was just a sport’ after all. Tell that to Bill Shankly.
