I don't know how you guys can't feel sorry for Tom Hicks. There, you can highlight and quote this and do your one-liner mockery.
Tom Hicks reminds me of that uncle who always worked as a mechanic and had big dreams to make it like his wife's rich brothers. You know, the wife who fell for him because he looks like Del Boy and promised he will one day get a big job in his brother's second-hand car factory which went bankrupt a year later and so they both went into fixing local cars in their garage and dreaming big. One day they come up with this idea of running cars on water instead of petrol, pitched the idea to their wife's rich brother who believed they were on grass and gave them nothing but a one hour lecture on how to do real work and maybe just maybe do a short meaningful 2-week course on RAWK university with professor Lebowski, but when the wife claimed her husband lost the car and house by gambling on Liverpool to win the Premier League title instead of Manchester United, the brother grew a soft spot and decided to give his own sister a million pounds to appease the gambling sharks from taking away his beloved niece.
Instead of banking on his water for petrol idea, Hicks the mechanic was visited by a mysterious man who wrecked his car and came up with an ingenius idea to buy a football club and triple your money in 3 years venture. To cut a long story short. A few years had gone by, and the mechanic expectedly went bust again, this time dragging the whole football club down with him, and he starts going door to door to ask for more loans because his own brotherinlaw doesn't believe him anymore especially since the niece ran away with Hicks ugly brother George. Cue a few more years later, you know that guy Hicks hates, that always wins because he has hair, a better sports car and a hot Italian wife, yeah that one, he took the club from him and saw his money not just triple but go 8x higher in value. You obviously feel sad for the mechanic Hicks, but look, he still has his devoted wife by his side and his son by his side. People like this, in their minds are always so close to winning and going up several levels, but constantly taking a step forward and 3 steps back, but when you look closer, they always remember that time they won their trophy wife. Those few years were always the best when the first set of the Parry Family fools paid for their house and lodging for a few years to finance those romantic years of Mr and Mrs Hicks.
