Broughton plans legal action against Hicks and Gillett
Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has confirmed he plans to sue former co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett for defamation.
Hicks alleged Broughton was part of an “epic swindle” when he oversaw the £300m sale of the club last year, claiming he lost £140m as a result of the sale against his wishes.
