Hicks Speaks - Sun 26.

[The Erectile Banana]

I find it hard to believe anything Hicks said in that interview given the amount of bull he has previously served up to us.

I have no faith in this man to look after the needs of LFC in the long or medium term and no amount of greasy, silver tounged PR crap is going to convince me otherwise.

[MARTINOZ]

Wouldn't it be best to see if they deliver the goods before getting rid?

What good is it going to do the team if there's a **** load more upheaval straight away again. And even if DIC do buy in who is to say they would keep Rafa? And if that happens we are back at the start. It's time to get sensible and support the boys on the pitch.

[Skillz]

Wouldn't it be best to see if they deliver the goods before getting rid?

Depends on the alternative. Fact is we have no choice do we. If your comfortable giving this bloke a chance, more power to you.

He's lost me.:bird:

They talked bull**** since they took us over and have done **** all apart from alienate the manager, the fans and plunged us into further debt.

You honestly want to give them a second chance? I would trust them to deliver a ****ing pizza.

I'm just fed up with the whole situation Skillz. The bloke has come out and said his piece. He's said he backs Rafa. He's said we are getting the new stadium. He's said Rafa can sign Mascherano. Whether we believe him or not, well that's down to the individual. But, I think carrying on a concerted effort to get rid of him is just doing more harm than good now. We need a bit of stability and unity. If he doesn't deliver, then just like Rafa, he needs to be judged and decisions made.

I can understand that. The whole situation is terrible and I am enjoying none of it.

I just hope everyone takes this bloke with a pinch of salt and keeps their eye's wide open because if we end up stuck with him we are headed down a very dangerous path, IMO.

[Oberon]

Not heard what he had to say, but have read this thread. Two observations:-

1) No chance of Rafa staying beyond this season with these two at the helmDid you hear the interview? He definitely didn't say that Rafa would be sacked in the summer
2) G&H are experts at telling the fans what they want to hear and pushing their agenda. Anything Hicks says (and Gillett for that matter) needs to be taken with a huge pinch of salt.With that I agree

Because they have been seen to be lying it now seems everything they say must mean the opposite of what was said

I don't get some fans. They say they want Hicks to publicly back Rafa, he does, so the fans say he's lying.

It seems we could sign Messi, Ronaldinihio(sp?) et all, build the stadium by next weekend and they'd still be shouts of yanks out!

Hopefully for the next week or two we can concentrate on the team and nothing else Yeah right! and the team can find a bit of form.

And some fans just hear what they want to hear.

No offense but you do not get it do you. He has lied and this is a PR stunt. He is not trusted by many now and a staged speech on the radio isn't about to mend any wounds. It will take years for him to gain any form of respect from me.

[Roboklopp]

Seemed very unsure when the questions ventured out of his rehearsed answers territory.

Cannot say this does anything more than convince me RAfa will be here til the summer, which i was pretty sure of already.

More ****e from Bascombe

No still happy

Thanks for posting that though mate

When Bascombe was pressing the panic button late last year, I was quick to dismiss him as a ****-stirrer trying to impress his sensationalist editor.

As it turns out, those reports were substantiated so maybe, just maybe, this one is too.

[Sir Bob]

As you would expect Hicks said all the right things but as we all know he speaks with forked tongue. that doesn't mean everything he says is a lie but it does mean you can't believe anything he says.

In my view this is what we either know and can be fairky certain of.

1. The refinancing deal has heaped a shed load of debt on LFC, something G&H said they wouldn't do. If Moores and Parry had known this they wouldn't have sold the club to them.

2. DIC are still very much alive and kicking. The refinancing deal has given G&H time but DIC are still very much interested.

3. there is a substantial split betweeen G&H. We've heard nothing from G and foster has left Melwood.

4. Rafa's position looks a touch more stable but is still only a couple of poor results away from the boot.

5. The longer thisuncertainty off the pitch carries on the more it will effect the players on the pitch.

[REDSCOUSER]

So even if someone like DIC came in and offered a huge amount for the club, you would still say no?

My answer would be that I can't think of a price for which I would want to sell and I have no interest in selling at all. The DIC people are professional and wouldn't do that anyway.


Glad to know my question was used for the interview, thanks to a good poster from here

[Dhav]

Listen bollocks, did I say anywhere in my post that would believe anything? It amusses me that for months now some people have been banging on about him making some kind of direct statement, and when he does its treated with contempt, so why ask?


Your mind is like a parachute, if it's open it works, if it's closed it doesn't. Simple. I listen to learn, to understand. I have confidence in my ability to reason things out by myself, so I dont need to be told by you or anyone else who is and isnt lying.

You're so open-minded that you tell people not to express an opinion :whatever:

Who has asked for a statement from Hicks, and then derided him for it? Certainly not me.Personally I don't ever want to hear that cunt be mentioned in same breath as Liverpool FC, or ever want him to come out and talk about our club. He thought he was buying a sports franchise, he failed to understand he was getting an institution. The man is not worthy to be the "custodian" of such a great club.

The concept of integrity is clearly lost on you.
