It's good to talk - Gillett Thu, Feb 08 2007 10:58
New co-owner George Gillett has vowed to secure the respect of all Liverpool fans and will do so by sitting and talking to them.
The billionaire American businessman was unveiled as the Reds new supremo, along with fellow US tycoon Tom Hicks, earlier this week and he is keen to prove to the club's supporters that his intentions are to make Liverpool one of the best sides in the world. Indeed Gillett says he is willing to speak to any fan who wants to question him about what his aims are for the Merseysiders.
He said: "I want to earn the respect of the fans. My message to them is to give us a few years and we'll see where it takes us. Give us a little time and we are going to have some fun together.
"When I go to Anfield I'm going to be on the streets in front of the stadium talking to fans. When I'm at the ice hockey if I see an empty seat during the interval I go and sit there to talk to the fans, and I will do the same here.
"When I arrived in Liverpool I picked up a paper and there were four or five letters to the editor about us from people who don't even know us. I've asked my people to get numbers for those fans and I will ring them personally."
