For those interested it appears he is set to do another interview over here on PrimeTime Sports with Bob McGown. The last time Gillett phoned in to this program he broke his silence over the working relationship, or lack there of between him and Hicks.

Since it is a Canadian show, there will most likely be more discussion about his NHL and future MLS franchises than us, but I figure we can change the course of the interview by contacting them here:

The show sometimes allows on air phone calls. Perfect opportunity to voice our opinions to the man himself, just thought I would give the heads up.

Thanks for letting us know.

I submitting a comment on the website you provided requesting that they bring up the situation at Liverpool with George. I really hope they do and that GG does't use it as a chance for a popularity contest like last time. No bull-shit just straight answers please Geroge!!!

Looking forward to more incendiary comments from ol' Georgie. And if he refuses to answer questions, that in itself is an indication he's back in bed with the Texan.

I will give this a listen.

See what the lying bastard has to lie about now. Maybe even ask him why he is a liar

same here....I'm going to try and call in

Not sure whether to listen to this or not, too fed up with him.

redprodigal · « **Reply #7 on:** June 18, 2008, 10:34:54 pm »

I've written to their site asking them to ask him to let us know his future plans regarding selling up, competing in the transfer market and the building of the new stadium etc. Worth a try, I suppose.

sent something similar. I mean there's no chance Gillett would do something like this with the british media, so we might as well give it a try.

Got a feeling this could be big news.

Either 'bye bye' or 'me and old Tom are mates again, like any couple we have our rows, but we both love Liverpool FC and have found a way to work together for the good of the club and its wonderful fans, we will back Rafa in the transfer market this Summer'.

Got a feeling its the latter but we'll be shopping in LIDL's and not Harrod's.

If people are listening can you post when he comes on for me please?

MattLFC08 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:45:09 am »

will listen in .

RedBo · « **Reply #12 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:37:55 am »

According to tomorrows schedule Bob McCown is on for an hour from 6pm to 7pm Canadian time.

http://www.fan590.com/onair/ Right hand column.

I don't know what time that is GMT but it might save people having to listen for 3 hours from 9pm to 12am.

The show is simulcast for an hour on Fan590 radio and Roger's Sportsnet television at 5pm, so that'll be 10pm your time, I believe. I'm assuming this is when Georgie Boy will be on, if it is indeed big news.

Ahh so we're 5 hours ahead.

Some people have suggested that Hicks veto expires on the 19th so straws and clutching come to mind but lets hope that has some relevance to this interview.

Fanxxxxtastic · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2008, 07:29:07 am »

Just semd them a message asking them to ask the questions Liverpool fans want answered.

Got to be worth a try.

Played on the your station could make headlines around the world.

Message sent asking about the veto I duno if we will even be mentioned though?

Got a feeling after the attention he caused last time that he's gonna say sweet f all this time. Hope not. Hope he's announcing that he's going to fuck off

anfield · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:10:28 pm »

Strange timing of the interview. One date for the deadline that has been mentioned is today.

No666 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:49:09 pm »

If it had relevance, surely he'd be doing an interview with a L/pool station or more likely, putting out a press release. Yes, definitely those straws again. God, I hate those fucking Yanks. If emotion could kill they'd be lying with their toes turned up, frazzled, disembowled and their heads stoved in, tongues lolling, eyes bulging..........

I'm getting off this forum before I read anymore about what they aren't up to and who we aren't bidding for....

kingjari · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:51:42 pm »

Someone Ask the weasley little gnome why he hasn't sold his half of the club yet ? His last interview on this station had some encouraging tidbits but also some out and out porkies.

I'm very weary of what he has to say.

Regi · « **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:28:34 pm »

Ask him how something so fucking small and insignifcant as himself can produce such a monumental shitstorm

Another heads up. There's an afternoon Toronto Blue Jay game before this which might bump the show back an hour.

shankspirit · « **Reply #27 on:** June 19, 2008, 06:08:07 pm »

I wanna c a press conference saying they are selling and not some stupid interview with the usual bla bla bla!!

Canada Loves Anfield · « **Reply #32 on:** June 19, 2008, 06:24:14 pm »

Comes on after a baseball game over here. I will try and get through.

If they ask why I am calling for screening purposes, I will say "to say what a great job he is doing with the Montreal Canadiens"

And if they let me on... I'll try and pressure him into giving up some bloody information about what they hell him and Hicks are doing with our club

Unfortunately if Gillett says he's selling, he probably means Torres!

Tom_B · « **Reply #34 on:** June 19, 2008, 06:27:24 pm »

Is it just the saddest thing in the world that to hope to find out even the slightest bit of info on what is going on at our club we have to listen to Canadian Radio?

redpride9 · « **Reply #35 on:** June 19, 2008, 06:28:43 pm »

Hope he's leaving..

He'll probably just say Torres is not for sale blah blah- to win the fans over.

I just phoned the radio station. He will be on for 15-20 mins sometime after 11.05 BST. I told him that loads of us will be tuning in and that we want to know what is happening regarding the ownership situation. They said they will ask him about this.
