Doug Ellis on Gillett and Hicks

[AFII]

every thing that has ever happened to our club since 1892 both on and off the pitch - the highs, the lows and the disasters, contributed to our "mystique", our aura, paid for a 45,000 seater stadium and we were still minus £40mill. We've now got to start all over again to pay for someone else to pay for the club.

The way we were sold in 5 minutes, the not returning of DIC's phonecalls, meeting of agreed deadlines, his extra 8million, the family silver ****e. Need I go on - all he had to do, and I mean all, is check out these cunts, not from meeting them, but how about spending a mere £100,000 af his lottery win to pay some a professional to find out about them?

**** me, I work in business development and have to constantly check the clients I deal with, I and have no idea why there are no conditions in the sale relating to placing debt on the club etc. We panicked. Who's ****ing fault is that? The minimum I expected and every thing attached to the club deserved, is absolute basic competence in what they were doing.

There are loads of great reds out there, but if anyone of them did something to hurt my family, I wouldn't care that they were a red.

When the best you can say about a management team is that they were incompetent, then that needs to be acknowledged in my book, and not swept under the carpet because they're good reds who didn't want to hurt the club - it makes it worse that they are, but didn't see the need to protect us.

Exactly, spot on

Moores well and truly ****ed up with his last act but just because he's a 'true red' people naively think it's ok.

People forget what a good state the club was in off the pitch when he became chairman. He never really built on it and we are now miles behind our rivals commercially despite having a massive worldwide fan base.

As I said before, the buck stops with Moores. He could have addressed a lot of these issues ages ago ie. Parry, investment, stadium, even the bloody ticket office - ultimately it is Moores lack of business nous, poor judgement & bad delegation/decision making that has put Liverpool Football Club in the place it is today. Sad but true.

I'm just royally ****ed off by the moores apologists making excuses.

We've had to laugh off most of his ****-ups but not this one, this is a Nick Leeson-esque **** up - and I'm sure he loved Barings Bank too

What do you anti-Moores people want?

The man's sold up, what more do you want? Blood?

Well, he is doing the only thing he can do now. Leaking info to the media so everyone will know how bad the situation is.

He can't do anything else. Resigning would not help at all because then the info to the media would stop leaking out.

Leaking achieves nowt other stressin us all out tho

Spot ****ing on. Been listening to the **** that he's a fan at heart for too long.

He should come out and say he ****ed us over for an extra 8m. That's what he did. Parry should say he ****ed us over so he could keep his job.

Got no sympathy for them two ****ers. Got sympathy for Reds fans that were gutted when DIC pulled out and are gutted now

I want outrage at their incompetence and I want chants against them, and I want David ****ing Moores ****ing to apologise and dissasociate himself from this pair of pricks - as he's such a great red an all. **** me, is that too much to ****ing ask?

Oh wait, I forgot, he's busy putting his baldrick-esque "cunning plan" into action by bringing them down from the inside with the boy wonder himself.

They have no clout, no say and no vote. He may as well be sweeping the ****ing floors, which, if the cunts realise they can save minimum wage an hour on, he may well be doing in the very near future.

I'm sorry but what the club need is a revolution not a sit-in protest. We need to be thrown into further turmoil (unless DIC are still working behind the scenes) for anything to happen.

Man U fans were marching to Old Trafford but they've calmed down now, barring the odd incident.

We can't afford for the hysteria to die down. The Liverpool Way was established after Shankly had an internal revolution with the board. That has now been threatened by our current manager trying to do exactly the same thing, from a hell of a stronger position than Shanks was at the time.

If David Moores came out and apologised then I would whole heartedly accept it.

It's also bigger than that - we would show the whole world how powerful a family unit we are, and it's not really even worth trying to **** us over because you'll lose. That would be the the re-establishment of the Liverpool Way. We were threatened, we fought back.

We need to stop every possible penny we can coming into the club, but document how we're doing it, why we're doing it and make it clear that as soon as more suitable "custodians" are in place we will resume normal services.

Don't buy that. What is he leaking exactly? He's unhappy?

We're all ****ing unhappy David mate, just some of us have 80 million pieces of silver while the others are paying off 300 million pieces of silver. Life's a ****house
