Tom Hicks Endearing Himself To Fans Everywhere

[Cormack74]

Probably, might have been for the good.



I don't know. This was from Gillette.

Hicks said it himself. Think it was on ITV. Maybe not the most tactful thing he could have come out with.

Mind you it was Gillett who tried to buy Villa off deadly Doug so I don't suppose he's any different.

I've largely stayed out of these threads - because we don't really know anything - but this doesn't sound good, I have to say.

He made George Bush a millionaire and he is friends with him. I've never trusted him purely based on that.

However, they have not let US down YET. We will know where we stand with them at the end of the season.

I hope he goes to Italy. He has struggled in my opinion to raise quick cash for himself. Gillette will just have to find someone else

I have a feeling that the worst thing that could have happened to liverpool was these two goons meeting. Dumb and Dumber...........ok I am a bit jarred but at this moment in time it is clear....I hate these yanks!!

And done nothing to reassure us yet either.

Hicks is not paying for Alex Rodriguez's salary anymore since hejust re-did his contract with the Yankees in the last few weeks

I wish GG would have picked Kraft to be his partner when he was thinking of taking over Liverpool

Kraft has a great reputation in the US - ask the unbeaten New England Patriots fans how they feel about Kraft, you probably would'nt hear one solitary complaint

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Why did Kraft never come on board????

[glynner]

I don't know if Kraft was ever considered - I just wish he was

I think he is saying these other top players make that amount per year while Hicks is still paying that much towards another players salary (Alex Rod) who plays for the Yankees.

It would be like us wanting to cut salaries to save money so say Gerrard was making $25 million a year we could send him to Man Utd and pay $10 million of his salary so Man Utd would only have to pay $15 millon of it. Liverpool would be saving $15 million a year.

Sounds like Leeds should be his team
