Thanks to Mike Horwath of Queue Politely productions, tribalfootball.com brings to you 'The Potemkin League' - a four part documentary detailing Liverpool's battle with their former American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
In 2005, the Glazer family took over Manchester United in football's first leveraged buyout.
In 2007, Hicks and Gillett purchased Liverpool in a leverage purchase. The 'Potemkin League' chronicles the misfortunate ownership of the two Americans and found a city and culture that was diametrically opposed to their methods.
This documentary discovers the Shankly spirit, crushed by the Thatcher years, awakened in the city and follows the events as they unfold.
