Liverpool in crisis: Three big problems to solve at Anfield

OWNERSHIP/INVESTMENTGoes hand in glove with the hunt for new ownership, according to chairman MartinBroughton, who announced recently that he could not envisage anyone buying the clubwithout implementing immediately the go-ahead for a new 60,000-seat ground, a goal-kick away from Anfield at Stanley Park for which planning permission was approved in 2003. Double trouble:Tom Hicks and George Gillett have presided over an unhappy three-year stint as Liverpool's ownersTHE NEW STADIUMThe search for men of greater means to replace Tom Hicks and George Gillett holds the key to Liverpool's hopes of climbing back to the top of the European game. Back in April, Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi claimed that Gillett had reneged on a £420million takeover after a deal was agreed, and the trail has gone cold since the Rhone Group's near-£120m bid for a 40 per cent stake was rebuffed, not least due to Hicks's unrealistic £800m asking price. BACKROOM BAGGAGEIf, as expected, Benitez walks into the Inter Milan job this summer, he could be joined by his first-team coach Mauricio Pellegrino, his goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero and at least one of his three Spanish fitness specialists.However, that would still leave as many as eight members of the first-team backroomand medical staff at Anfield with futures to be decided, a lengthy and costly task that is most likely to fall on the shoulders of whoever replaces the Spaniard. King Kenny: Dalglish brought in to lure Roy Hodgson or Martin O'Neill to Liverpool. but don't rule HIM out of a sensational returnIf Liverpool get this wrong, they are heading for footballing oblivion. it's bigger than finding Bill ShanklyLiverpool fans are still in denial: American flags burned as Reds show support for axed Rafa BenitezLIVERPOOL FC
