[Jayesh87]

Did he mention how much he enjoyed the nap that we forced him into with our dreary performance against Villa?

No

[johnp]

His name is Clark Hunt

Is that like the Two Ronnies doing the "Mary Hinge" and "Betty Swollocks" sketch?

[Marshy]

No

Good - i hope he never watched it!

[Mumsafan]

Did I hear correctly?

Are they talking to someone called Clark Hunt?

That's got to be a joke name, surely?

It is his name! Just imagine him owning a team here


The other guy - the football commentator is a bit of a tit - "I don't think football fans worry about the history going, if they do, they are sad" - ****in nob!

[The Glove]

The finest football stadium in the world

"Our goal is to make it the finest stadium in the world" oh yeah!

"Our goal is to make the new stadium for Liverpool to be the finest football stadium in the world"

Yip. He just said he wants the new stadium to be the best football stadium in the world.

Did he say anything about the new stadium?

[Tom]

Quite interesting that, it was a bit confused about the stadium, first hicks saying it was going to be designed around the kop, then the other fella (journalist?) saying he'd seen the new plans, and they weren't that different from the other plans (new stadium or anfield?), and that the kop would be central to the structure. ..

So are we having a "brand new" retro-stylee anfield type stadium or (which is what I think) a re-modelling of the current plans that gives more prominence to a Kop and has possibilities for extension.

Hicks also mentioned standing on the kop....maybe he isn't aware of the law.

The other guy is a football commentator and he seems a right tit to me. Hicks said the new plans weren't even ready!

[Tom]

He also said that it looked "futuristic".......

I agree - he seems like a bit of a prat. He also said he wasn't even sure the plans he saw were the new stadium plans at all.

You should ring in again Mums and call him a right tit!!

I should ring in and be intimidating

Who knows, by the time it's ready the UK law might've changed.

[certifiable]

I'm pretty sure you can listen in Ireland alright, I'm listening in USA, so it's not blocked. The programmes are available to listen to again for 7 days right after they've finished airing. And I just checked and there's a special link for just the Tom Hicks interview on this page (on the right hand side halfway down page). So you can listen right NOW:

It's not too late mate, you can listen anytime

Read my post above on how to listen to it

Yeah thanks leftpeg, listening as I type, sounding good.

Cheers

[Rigadon]

I'm liking the sound of Hicks more and more. He sounds very sensible, and also seems to have great respect for the team and the game in general.

And George Bush

[Johnny]

And George Bush

he had to have one flaw.
