Desperate days, a clash of cultures, I had a sleepless night last night about our club.
The new owners plan to transfer half the debt for purchasing the club back onto the club (see today's papers). Interest payments will stretch to 30 million a year. That's our annual transfer budget plus some.
No matter, the yanks aren't interested in the club being overly successful. The projected income from media and internet rights means that they'll be milking the club and us for years. Turning a nice profit off our hopes and dreams.
The club is now owned by a neo-con coporate ram raider. Anyone who thinks differently is living in cloud cuckoo land.
Rafa will be gone in the summer. We will not buy the players we need. A well-known Est poster passed me some information last night about Masch. I'll leave him to tell you what it is but it's stomach turning. Don't believe the lies, nothing has changed, Rafa and everything our club stands for is in mortal danger.
I'll leave you with some quotes from Bill Shankly, please compare and contrast with Hick's recent quotes in the Gaurdian.
Now for that facist neo-con ****** hicks:

The socialism I believe in is everyone working for each other,
everyone having a share of the rewards. It's the way I see football,
the way I see life.
At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.
I'm a people's man - only the people matter.
'I was only in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.'

It is always distressing when baseless rumours gain currency and in Tuesday's interview with this paper Hicks was good enough to dispel any conjecture that he gives a toss about football. "When I was in the leverage buy-out business we bought Weetabix and we leveraged it up to make our return," he explained. "You could say that anyone who was eating Weetabix was paying for our purchase of Weetabix. It was just business. It is the same for Liverpool; revenues come in from whatever source and go out to whatever source and, if there is money left over, it is profit."
(Rather early on in the Weetabix soliloquy I had a vision of Gordon Gekko sneering "it's a zero sum game, pal!"
