This is the letter I sent to them about how I feel about Hicks and Gillett being the owners of our club.
REFERENCE : Tom Hicks and George Gillett
I would like to draw your attention to some items that are very urgent in connection to the proposed re-financing of the loan that hicks and gillett took out last year with the Royal Bank of Scotland.
In the time that mr hicks and mr gillett have been at the club there has been more unrest than at any phase in our history. It has been made worse because of the short time that these two have been the ourtight owners of the club (i believe that they were confirmed as such in august 2007). In this time they have managed to alientate the vast majority of the support, destroy their relationship with one the the best managers in the world and have placed the club under considerable debt.
Worse of all, it turns out that they are having difficulty borrowing the money and are looking to bring in outside investment and if this is not secured we may be owned outright by the royal bank.
I can assure you that the fans have now decided to take matters into their own hands and our actions such as on-line demonstrations, pitch side banner and chanting, forum protests have started the ball rolling.
In addition to this, fans are beginning to stay away from matches, deciding not to purchase club merchandise and not supporting sponsors products.
In the short time they have owned the club, I have never seen such antagonism and hatred towards any previous owner. They promised to uphold the values of our club and our heritage. They have destroyed the respect that we once commanded and are now in the process of destroying the very fabric of our club. This is not the Liverpool Way.
We will not stop until these two leave our club..
This is their reply to me...

A non-starter but nice of them to reply anyhow. I wonder what action their advocate group will take - Hicks and Gillett must be crapping themselves.
