George Gillett and Tom Hicks OUT !

[Venton]

This man can not be allowed to continue to make a ****ing mockery of this club ... because make no ****ing mistake about it thats what he is doing, if these two clowns are left in charge everything that made Liverpool Fc special, more than just a football club, one of the treasures of the game will be lost and worse still not even a distant memory. What he has done is just shocking poor form.

The arrogance of the man is shinning through, We has fans of this club must mark his ****ing cards. End of story

You are drunk.
And what time do you call this to come home?

[Johnny]

Fair enough, people are making their feelings known are they not? It's not as if I'm telling everyone to shut up and it's quite clear that the Anfield crowd will give Rafa the backing.

What am I supposed to do, so Hicks made an offer to Klinsmann, what the **** am I going to do about that, ey?

And with regards to Klinsmann not getting the job etc. well that's just cold-hard fact. He's not here and he won't be, fully agree that Hicks ****ed up on this one, I said so myself and it's not as if it's going to be forgotten.

All I'm doing is dissecting the information and moving on from there, nothing more I can do about it, it wasn't my ****ing fault Hicks came out with that ****e was it? All I'm doing is just moving on from that statement, wait til tomorrow, wait til whenever, whatever the ****, I can't be arsed.

Everyone can just continue their rioting and revolting, me doing so won't make a difference, I'm just giving out my opinion. There are a few others on here who also don't see this whole saga as the end of the ****ing world, others do, what does it matter to me, I'm just voicing my own opinion.
I'm sure there are enough people out there who will voice their displeasure and have a more direct opportunity of doing so (being at Anfield, for example).

Just because everyone else is so upset and angry and agitated doesn't mean I have to be on the same level of upset and anger as them.

Whatever, maybe I just shouldn't bother posting, ****it

Trouble is, the people behind DIC are no better. They may have the money but certainly not the pedigree for me...

Liverpool's US dream turns to nightmare

Andy Hunter
Tuesday January 15, 2008
The Guardian

Tom Hicks and George Gillett provided plenty of ammunition to sceptics of the American takeover of Anfield last February (of which there were precious few) with talk of franchises, Liverpool Reds and goal-tenders but it was their considered and frequent description of themselves as mere "custodians" of a £218.9m investment that resonated loudest with the club's support, even as the institution that is England's most successful club was heading for foreign ownership.
Appeasement and ambition were their overriding objectives as they were introduced in the Anfield trophy room by the chief executive, Rick Parry, who, with the departing chairman and then majority shareholder, David Moores, had helped clear the path by vouching for the credentials of men who promised openness and to "earn the respect of the fans".

Given that Hicks and Gillett had to purchase compulsorily only 1.4% of the club's shares over the next 21 days, the message was evidently taken on trust. How different the picture looks 11 months on.

It says everything about the Liverpool co-chairmen's standing among that same support today that Tom Hicks' revelation that he spoke to Jürgen Klinsmann about replacing the popular Rafael Benítez was not the only bad news to emanate from Texas. As far as the vast majority are concerned, Hicks' insistence that neither he nor his business partner is interested in selling Liverpool to Dubai International Capital is a further, demoralising blow.

"The speculation in the London tabloids on Sunday morning is more rubbish," said Hicks in an extraordinary interview with the Liverpool Echo yesterday, attempting to perpetuate the myth that it is a southern media conspiracy that is destabilising the club. "George and I have no interest in meeting with DIC or selling our shares to them. We are amazed at how silly rumours find themselves in print in the tabloids." This from a man who claimed he approached Klinsmann only on the basis of press rumours about Benítez's discontent, and who staged the meeting in the same week the Spaniard brought their rift over transfer policy into the public domain.

Whether honesty, fear that the meeting with the next Bayern Munich coach would be made public or a considered effort to push Benítez closer to the exit fuelled Hicks' admission is unclear but the Kop's anger and discontent are not.

A concerted effort was made by the organisers of the pro-Benítez march last November to avoid anti-US sentiment and to concentrate on support for the man who has delivered two Champions League final appearances in his three full seasons at the club. Yet that feeling is growing as Liverpool's absentee owners act with continued disregard for the traditions and heritage they vowed to protect.

Save for a carefully scripted statement issued after they met Benítez following the defeat by Manchester United on December 16, Gillett has maintained a public silence on the manager's future. His presence at Hicks' retreat in southern California for the meeting with Klinsmann, however, indicates it is not just the more vociferous Texan who harbours doubts over the Spaniard's title-winning credentials. And what might they have heard from the former Germany national team coach last November that prevented an agreement with their "insurance policy"? That Liverpool require time and more signings of the calibre and expense of Fernando Torres to sustain a genuine challenge for the Premier League? If so, Klinsmann's advice would have been identical to what they have heard consistently from Benítez.

Hicks and Gillett are not close to selling Liverpool to DIC, as weekend reports suggested. Should they succeed in securing a £350m loan to refinance their takeover and fund the first stages of the proposed stadium on Stanley Park before the end of February, then the pressure to seek outside help for their ambitious project also diminishes. Such is the rising anger at their reign, however, the pressure to sell could eventually come from Liverpool supporters and not the Royal Bank of Scotland, which funded the takeover.

Despite Hicks' dismissal of the DIC stories, the Americans did hold talks with the Dubai company about acquiring a 15% stake last October. The deal was close to completion until Liverpool's owners valued the club at £1bn - accounting for a completed stadium - and DIC refused to pay £150m for 15% of an investment they hoped to buy outright only eight months previously. DIC's interest remains.

Tonight's FA Cup replay with Luton should be about the League One club's desperate plight and Jamie Carragher's 500th appearance for Liverpool. The distractions will linger until either the Spaniard or the Americans walk on.


From the quotes, seems like these cunts and their debt is here to stay.
For the love of God, as Liverpool fans what did we ever do to deserve these mutha ****ers.

You won't be a billionaire if you are not prepared to make some dodgy deals because there are to many peoples out there that want to take you down and use you.

I wonder why that article didn't say anything about all the land that Israel have robbed from Palestine? The best parts of Palestine, with the important water in it. A very, very one sided article.

I'm not for any sort of terrorism but that article is to one sided.

[Tom]

Hicks ...MUST READ!

Wake-up! This the kind of cunt we're dealing with
****ing priceless, buys 2 brazillian clubs, sets up a tv channel where they play other teams hicks owns, promises new stadiums for the clubs, doesn't deliver. TV channel goes bankrupt. What a tosser.

Shamelessly nicked from YNWA:

Does any of this sound familiar?

[Taken from an article by a Brazilian journalist]

There are other examples: a contract between Bank of America and Vasco da Gama was intended to cover twenty five years but lasted only two. Worst of all, perhaps, is the case of the Hicks group. This group is a hedge fund based in Texas and linked to President George W. Bush. Hicks took over two teams, Corinthians and Cruzeiro, through contracts that should have run until the year two thousand and ten.

These deals included promises of construction of new stadiums. Hicks also bought forty nine percent of the traffic television network and dreamed up its own ultimate soccer business: Hicks teams facing each other in matches broadcast, naturally, by Hicks. Hicks set up a cable channel in Latin America, PSN, acquired national basketball association rights, formula one races and soccer championships at overblown prices. Hicks invested about five hundred million dollars and in only two years filed for bankruptcy.

I could have found out more in one hour or two searching the web on info about Hicks, probably most of us could do that, than Parry did during his so called check up on Hicks.

According to Parry he did a very thorough check up on Hicks, yeah right, another lie by Parry to keep his job.
