The Case FOR Hicks

[Guest]

Wait and see Reece. When he's ****ed LFC over you can continue to deny it as well

Why can't you wait and see for yourself mate. You don't know the full picture and you're hardly gonna be influential in ousting him.

He wants to stay, who's gonna stop him !? Either DIC come out and buys out Gillett's stake or he sells to Hicks. There's a fair few political manoeuvrings going in the background that we know **** all of.

How much credit does a man deserve for loaning money?

That's quite funny actually.

FFS, can any of you actually read? Where have I said that he isn't?

I'll say it nice and clearly for you:

I'M NOT WILLING TO GIVE THE GUY A DEATH SENTENCE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE FULL FACTS, NONE OF US DO.

Hold your horses.

Having considered everything rationally and objectively, I believe Hicks is trying to **** us. Did I mention you?

Let's suppose he does have good intentions and really does want to turn it all around. He is still giving an in-depth interview to Sky ****ing Sports during Hillsborough anniversary week.

[Guest]

Isn't that just hearsay then? Is speculation ok when you're defending Hicks but you can use speculation to batter DIC?

There's a contradiction for you

So what if they had a 10 year exit plan? Better than a 1 year 'lets load the club with debt and not put any of our own money in' plan

I refer you to one of my posts above.

Do you really believe DIC is gonna inject money from their own cash reserves !???

What is the motivation for Hicks wanting to **** us in your opinion?

That's the thing I don't get. He's not going to come in and own the club (or any business) and deliberately **** it up is he? Surely he needs it to be successful for it to worth his time and money (whether it is loaned or not).

Hicks may **** us up but how can we be sure of that !?

Gillett and the other figures in all of this have just sit tight and we don't know anything of their plans. It may be **** all ... as it's been when Parry was in charge. Just wait for Rafa to save something from season to season and carry on from there.

At least Hicks, whilst opening his gob too often, is laying on some plans, albeit a bit grand and in which case he could fall on his arse. But in this case, he's laid his deathbed. He must be very stupid to do that.

It's easy to slate Hicks because he is coming out and saying something. Gillette on the other hand is pretty much silent at the moment.

Did I say DIC was going to inject their own money? You seem to think my only problem with Hicks is the fact he loaded debt on the club?

I can list you a whole load of reasons why I don't like him

1. Uses the Hate Mail as his mouthpiece
2. Uses Sky Sports as his mouthpiece - On the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster
3. Day after we beat Arsenal he asks for Parry to quit - Taking away from the players achievements
4. He's a liar who spoke to Klinsmann...now doesn't like the reaction and says it wasn't his idea and he didn't even know who he was.
5. Talks about the ineptitude of Parry. How about this...makes a big fanfare for a new stadium then realises he hasn't the money and embarassingly scales down the design
6. He's a useless lying ****er

I couldn't find 6 reasons for disliking Moores. The only thing was he was a bad businessman

So let's not keep going back to DIC. This ain't about DIC. It's about Hicks and I'm sorry...he just ain't good enough and he's a compulsive liar

Hicks' case.

[Craig_H]

Playing devils advocate i'd say Hick's has lot going for him we have wanted a chairman for ages who could provide/be the following:

1) Hicks seems passionate enough about the club Not to me, he doesnt - he seems passionate for $$$
2) Is willing to offer his support to Rafa by extending his contract Only because he faced a fans onslaught
3) Looks like Rafa prefers him over George and Rick That doesnt mean Hicks is the right person, maybe just the best of a god awful bunch
4) He allowed Rafa to sign Torres and Babel and is willing to strengthen further Via debt and more debt...and more debt...
5) Is the mastermind behind the new stadium and is the main force pushing it forward, most agree it's better then the Parry Bowl It's nothing but talk so far, the shovel still hasnt gone into the ground
6) He's got Rick Parry's number, and is willing to replace the incompetent sod Yes and whilst this is the right course of action, even when doing right, Hicks gets it wrong - by doing it in front of the world's media
7) Has people lined to take the club forward and try to catch the Mancs, Gooners and Chelsea Pure speculation, i trust nothing he says and his ACTIONS so far have been ****e.

OK the main downside Firstly is the borrowing of money and the club being saddled with debt, unfortunately i think this will happen anyway no matter who the owners are, well not unless you get an Abramovich type.

Secondly his big fat Texan gob, got to say with him everything is out in the open, unlike the sneaky Gillette and Parry (they were the ones that initiated the Klinsmann thing, he just told the truth that they had met).

So what do you think?

In short, i think he's a disaster. Him, Gillett and Parry all need to be gotten rid of. Nothing he says will ever convince me, he needs to prove his intentions via actions, not empty words. Ironically, his latest attempt to make himself look misunderstood has backfired, as, once again, he idiotically chooses to do everything in front of the TV cameras...

He's a cnut and i'd happily pull the trigger.

I should rephrase.

Hicks doesn't necessarily want to **** us but, as his business track record proves, he will anyway if he has to.

Ok mate I see your point and to be honest to you I hold more or less the same grievances against him as you do.

But I won't be slagging him off now because I want all of this to be over. If something isn't sorted in the days / weeks to come, we may well face the possibility of losing Rafa. And this would be a catastrophe !!!!

[Craig_H]

Well at least he's ACTING. Not the same can be said of the other figures in this saga.

What actions is he actually persuing? All he seems to do is talk, lap up the media spotlight, argue with his colleagues in public and mouth off.

Where are the 'actions' ?

By saying what he seems to be saying, he's laying his foundations. I mean, he's hardly gonna be Mr. Popular if what he says are just bull****. Either that or he's a pretty stupid man.
