STATEMENT FROM TOM HICKS

Tom Hicks, co-owner of Kop Football (Holdings) Limited and, through it, of Liverpool Football Club, today issued the following statement:
"Based on a meeting held earlier today in Dubai between my representatives and officials of Dubai International Capital LLC, as well as other recent contacts between us and them, I have decided to terminate any further discussions with DIC regarding their possible purchase of a minority stake in Kop and, in turn, in the Club.

"DIC made it clear that if they invested in the Club, they would want it to be managed by committee. Based on my thirteen years of successful experience as an owner of professional sports teams, and based in particular on the situation at Liverpool Football Club over the past year, it is clear to me that such a committee approach would not be in the best interest of Kop, of the Club or of the Club's loyal and passionate supporters.

"Accordingly, I have decided to exercise my right under the Kop Football (Holdings) Limited partnership agreement to veto any sale of any portion of Kop and the Club to DIC.

"I and my colleagues and representatives will continue to explore a number of other options with regard to the ownership of Kop and the Club aimed at achieving an appropriate ownership, financial and organizational structure for Kop and the Club over the long term."

what successful 13 years as a owner of professional sports teams,and the liverpool situation?god help us if he thinks putting the club millions in debt is successful.WE ARE DOOMED

This is a pure nightmare. Really is.

Saying that, what does he mean by "managed by commitee"?

Knew it was too good to be true to be honest. Hicks is a fat mother****ing yank who is pimping us round. Don't want to be run by committee...better than running it from across the Atlantic

Somehow I think it may have something to do with the percentage in shareholding.
