Moores to wrest control from Littlewoods bosses

Article Abstract:

The senior executives of mail order, football pools and stores concern Littlewoods may see operational control of the company pass into the hands of the Moores family, which already owns all shares in the concern. It is understood that the position of group chief executive will be given to James Suenson-Taylor, a member of the Moores family, and that the position of chief executive Barry Dale could be in doubt.
