Former Liverpool owner: I picked the wrong partner

Former Liverpool owner Tom Hicks has said his greatest mistake when he bought the club was choosing the wrong partner.

Hicks took over at the club with co-owner George Gillett in 2007 after buying David Moores' shares, and the American cites his relationship with his former business partner as the main reason for his failure at Anfield.

Speaking about his time at Liverpool, which ended in 2010 with John Henry's acquisition of the club, Hicks told Sky Sports: "Absolutely I made some mistakes. I did some things that were very good also, but the biggest problem I had was I picked the wrong partner.
