How Merseyside became America’s 51st state
New York TimesBeyond the dust of Liverpool’s dock road and the huge lorries rolling in and out of the city’s port, the glass panels of Everton’s new home at the Bramley-Moore Dock sparkle impressively, radiating ambition. Meanwhile, a third, League Two side Tranmere Rovers, could join them if the English Football League ratifies a takeover by a consortium led by Donald Trump’s former lawyer Joe Tacopina. Much of their mainly local support comes from some of the United Kingdom’s most economically challenged districts in the north end of Liverpool, near Walton where Goodison Park is located, and the ‘People’s Club’ — as former manager David Moyes christened them — has long taken pride in not being connected to big business, particularly in comparison to their near-neighbours Liverpool. Tranmere’s homely but ageing Prenton Park ground That history is one of the reasons why an American consortium led by Tacopina has an application with the EFL to try and buy the club from former player, Mark Palios, who later acted as the chief executive of the English Football Association.
