Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks is entering into an agreement with Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett Jr. to purchase Liverpool of the British Premiership soccer league. According to a source, Hicks has agreed to go half-and-half with Gillett on the $450 million purchase of Liverpool Football Club. Hicks' investment will rival the $250 million he paid for the Rangers when he purchased them in 1998. A formal announcement of the deal could be made early next week.
