I can't believe some people are still debating whether or not Hicks would be good for the club.

I suppose the buses WERE always on time in Nazi Germany...
not towards the end they weren't

Given all available evidence it's clear he'll sell before letting the club sink into oblivion so that's a strawman argument. He's all about eking out the maximum return on his money in the short term. To achieve this position he has lied repeatedly about his intentions such that it allows him to screw the club out of tens of millions of pounds.

Nothing Hicks has done so far indicates *anything* positive would arise out of the Hicks regime in the medium to long term which couldn't have been accomplished under the previous regime if it was prepared to load the club with overbearing debts.

As such I can't see why you feel we should sit back, shut up and invest faith in the man?

Well lets use Aston Villa as a comparison, taken over by an american who didn't put villa into debt , have recently announced a new shirt deal with a local hospice / charity when they could have earned millions from a big multi-national company .. He is very rarely heard of in the national press and lets MON get on with the job. Not all business men see the pound signs first and are as bigger tw**ts as those two we have at the minute .
even villa told twit&twat to do one they saw right through the carpet baggers

He robbed them of all the money and left them in a lot of debts, so it's a worry. He only got away because of his good old friend Bush.

I can understand that he tries to raise cash to the US Presidential election because it's always good if you are good friend with the President.

Its all plain to see after a quick google, why does parry not know about google, google could have saved the club in hindsight.  When G+H say parry and moores they must have seen a pair of turkeys.

If it all go tits up then we will be owned by the banks. I don't know if they can stop G&H selling off our best players before that happens. I don't think G&H is in any danger at all, they have played their cards in an excellent way from that point of view.

I don't think that when it went tits up at Corinthians it did much,if any,damage to Hicks' financial empire.

I suspect if it went the same way with us it would be the club that copped the shit while the robber barons sailed into the sunset with their loot.

Here, here, finally some sense, when will people learn it's a business and not the Liverpool Football Club we all knew and loved years ago, Hicks and Gillette will no doubt be replaced eventually by guess what another business that wants exactly the same things that George and Tom want and that's to tap into the lucrative gravy chain that is English Football and they will replace them. I have got to the point that am not really bothered who's in charge now simply because lets face it were gonna get screwed either way, S.O.S. is very commendable whose hearts and intentions are in the right place but seriously are they going to really make any difference in standing in the way of massive multi, multi million pound corporate business's who are fighting each other to milk the golden cash cow that is Liverpool Football Club.

See when I read posts like this it suggests to me that you are weak; you are cowardly; you know you haven't got the stomach or the passion to do anything to fight for your club so you come out with rationales like this to 'explain it away' to yourself; to convince yourself that there's nothing you can do, no difference you can make; that it will always be the same no matter what so might as well put up with what we've got.

Those are the actions of a spineless, passionless fan, the kind we don't particularly need. The rest of us know that there ARE other ways; that things don't have to be like this. Look around at the rest of the football world and you'll see that most clubs AREN'T run in the way G&H are proposing; most don't have huge levels of debt which threaten to curtail team development year on year; most aren't run by footballing ignoramuses who can't keep their gobs shut. Just because Man U are also in debt means nothing; Man U's case is happenstance. If the Glazers had never appeared they'd be perfectly fine; it wasn't necessary for them to end up the way they are, just as it isn't necessary for us to be run this way.

There's something rotten in the state of Anfield at the moment and we we work together and are committed we can change it because we know other ways are possible.

So are you a coward? A quisling who would rather put up with a substandard situation at the club he loves rather than fight to change it? Or do you have some Scouse metal in you?

We're not slaves; we don't HAVE to put up with this

This is getting into a medieval style witch hunt using a dunking stool. If you drown you aren't a witch but if you survive you are a witch.

No matter what he says or does he will be villified. Go read the thread by the accountant on here. He explains what the 1.4 million 'expenses' was used for.

I think if Hicks is given a chance to work with the club as sole owner he may surpirse us all. Then again he may not, but I am sure he won't just let the club sink into oblivion. It's not in his interests to do so.
At the risk of repeating what I said above, what you are saying is that you are happy to put up with a substandard set up a the club you claim to love. Why? Don;t you want the absolute best for YOUR club? So what if Hicks might do okay? So what if he might do 'quite well'? Why is 'okay' or 'quite well' good enough for you?

Stand up man, and fight to have the BEST possible ownership set-up for the best club in the universe. Accepting anything less is a betrayal.

My opinion for what it's worth is that LFC is screwed. Hicks is a stubborn shit who really doesn't care who he pisses off. He'll run this club into the ground if he likes knowing that he has no personal liabilty against it.

I think if Hicks is given a chance to work with the club as sole owner he may surpirse us all. Then again he may not, but I am sure he won't just let the club sink into oblivion. It's not in his interests to do so.
