We've gone from the depths of despair to near euphoria in just a few days. [LNB]Welcome to another week in the life of Liverpool FC![LNB]I was so down after the defeat to Blackpool I could barely get going.[LNB]Then on Tuesday night world war three breaks out and Tom Hicks and George Gillett are suddenly and spectacularly booted out of Anfield.[LNB] Legal action is coming and no one will celebrate until they are gone. [LNB]But hats off to Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre for taking them on and driving them out. [LNB]Fans may have had their doubts but it's clear now what has been going on behind the scenes and they all deserve great credit for doing the right thing.[LNB]They have done things quietly but ruthlessly in the old Liverpool Way - and that's great news. [LNB]No one had any idea this was about to explode and certainly no idea the owners of the Boston Red Sox were in line to step in.
