Mods - not sure which Thread to put this in, so feel free to move it to somewhere more suitable but I heard some gossip out in Milan from 2 very highly placed figures at Liverpool which is worth passing on (and I sense why I was told it:) ).
Apparently at the Newcastle match on Saturday one of Tom Hicks sons was present with 10 to 15 mates, most of whom had never been to a football match before. After the match they "enjoyed" the hospitality on offer rather liberally with the result that:
1. At least one of his friends was sick on the boardroom floor.
2. Another one passed out totally and medical attention had to be called to revive him and ascertain that he was ok.
3. Most of the group were very rude and insulting to the waitresses, laughing at their accents, mimicing them to their faces, making a series of lewd and personal remarks, and calling them "peasants". (Although to be fair a couple of the group were very embarrassed by the majority and apologised for their behaviour saying they were overaged college boys who had never grown up).
When Moores found out about this he was absolutely livid (not surprising when you think his family had run the boardroom for over 30 years). He tried to contact Hicks Senior to complain but was unable to get through and his calls were not returned. Moores was still livid on Tuesday and was going on about the incident constantly.
Meanwhile, Ian Ayres, officially our "Marketing Director" but effectivley Hick's day to day representative at Anfield (and an utter c*nt according to pretty much everyone who knows him) was also out in Milan, and enjoying a few drinks on Monday night. Possibly under the influence he was heard by many people loudly bad-mouthing Moores AND Parry, calling them all sorts of names and declaring that they are nobodies who will soon be out of the door.
Sad times indeed.
We are owned and run by scum of the very highest order.
