Owners Are Killing Our Club
It was not so long ago that we all thought we’d got our own billionaires to take this great club forwards – how wrong we were!
It started well, with the purchases of Torres and Babel, our best start to the season on the pitch, and plans for a world-class stadium fitting of Liverpool Football Club. Yet we are now finding ourselves more embarrassed by our new owners than I can ever remember. We have:
· The false promises – they were meant to be buying the club with a short-term loan to be paid back pretty quickly from the sale of another business, but that has not materialised
· Poorly thought-through plans – having raised our expectations with a world-class stadium design, a couple of months on they suddenly realised they couldn’t afford it after all
· A lack of patience – with the season only 3 months old, they were already going behind the manager’s back in an attempt to replace him. And this is a manager who has taken us to two European finals in three years!
· A lack of togetherness – even if they don’t believe this manager is the man for the job, they have to back him 100% in public until they fire him and get someone else in. I’m not saying we would have won the league this year, but announcing that they had spoken to Klinsmann makes it doubly difficult to turn things around because the manager’s and players’ minds are not 100% on the job of winning matches
· Appalling judgement – it is beyond me how anyone could believe that replacing a manager who has won La Liga twice, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup with someone who has never managed a club was anything other than an enormous gamble.
· No clear evidence of delivery – we heard how they were going to make more of the club commercially, but has anyone seen any evidence of that? I understand that anyone who is still with the Official Liverpool Supporters Club this season got an initial DVD, a pen and a pencil for their £30. That kind of value for money will not drive anyone to be loyal to the club.
· Blatant lies – how can they continue to claim they are not looking to sell when a City bank has been putting together a sales memorandum for at least a part of the club?
Now I have seen a lot of talk from Mr Hicks recently, and rather less from Mr Gillett, so maybe this reflects on one rather than both of them. Perhaps Mr Hicks should just take his own advice and “Quit talking”!!
Your dead right Stephen,the Yankee Doodles arrived with promises galore, and now we find them full of Bull. How Prick Parry reccomended this bunch of cowboys in preference to DIC is beyond belief.
We end up with two guys unable to raise enough money to refinance there loan, let alone build a new stadium. To date Hicks & Gillet havnt put a penny of there own cash into there purchase of the club, and yet if DIC buy them out they will walk away with a huge profit, INCREADIBLE.
Everything they have done has destablised the club, going behind Rafa's back for Herr Klinsman , sums up there knowledge of the game, these two guys havnt got a clue as to how to run a Football Club.
What we now have to pray for is that DIC's offer will be accepted, and finally the club will be back on a sound financial footing once again.( If the richest man in the World can't sort us out nobody can ).
In the meantime Prick Parry's head should roll as a result of his GROSS INCOMPETANCE.
lets do something about it and protest dureing every home match!! and away
we have already said protest but did it work?? i think its made the yanks more determant 2 stay 2 make us all even more pissed off with them what more can be done?? lfc needs major help come on DIC GET FIGHTING 2 TAKE OVER OUR CLUB
yh, but if we did it week in week out it would work, we only did it for the odd matches it needs to be doen every game, or eles we never get the,m out, and look at todays reports they are using our profits to pay for the interest on debts
