I think you may have misunderstood. Liberty doesn't need to send "its" people to vm, because they're already there and have been for ever.

Liberty, as its now called, used to be TCI, was a major shareholder of Telewest which became VM. Many of the Telwest people are still in VM, one of them runs the tv service. So, there doen't need to be Liberty/UPC people parachuted in, they've always been there to begin with.
