[OLD THREAD] Takeover finalised (Press Conf 2pm)

[Maestro]

Tom Hicks really has a laconic style doesn't he? Typical Texan drawl...

[matycowling1007]

and they said he was media shy

[Red Chilli]

Hicks is not too comfortable in front of the media.

[tomasjj]

GG seems pretty good at handling the media

He seems to be very good at it.

[matycowling1007]

Jamie and stevo haha

[Bari]

14.33 "Franchise"



They said all the right things until 18 minutes into the Press conference

Why "franchise"?

None stop now - one after the other "franchise"

[Johnny H]

Ooh! Ooh! I know!

Is it because they is American?

[The incredible igor]

Jamie and stevo haha

"they're special"

[Maestro]

STOP ****ING SAYING FRANCHISE FFS!!!

[ronan]

noooooooooooooo he just called us a franchise

[tomasjj]

Relax. There are differences between American English and the Queens English.

[Red Chilli]

You can definitely tell Gillett is the enthusiasm behind this deal. I think Hicks is the money man but I think that's good. 2 heads are better than one, they should be able to make some sensible decisions between them.

[tomasjj]

What on earth is wrong with that?!

What a bunch of reactionaries...

[johnly]

I like what he's saying.

Winning
Respect for tradition

That's what we want to hear

numbers 19 and 6 are the two big numbers we're looking for

[Red Chilli]

STOP ****ING SAYING FRANCHISE FFS!!!

If he calls us a SOCCER franchise then he's really for it
