Dear Sirs
According to reports in The Sunday Times (London), Mill Financial, an arm of Springfield Financial Company, has joined forces with Mr Tom Hicks to try and prevent the scheduled sale of Liverpool Football Club to NESV, the parent company of the Boston Red Sox.
Liverpool Football Club is a club that's held dear to the hearts of millions woldwide, and to its own local community. The club, under the ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett (the man who defaulted on debt owed to Mill Financial and, it seems, ceded his share of the club to them in the process), has been set back decades during their tenure, with similar impact on said fanbase and surrounding community.
As the men who direct the activities of Springfield Financial overall, it's fair to say we'd like to know your plans. Is Mill Financial working with Tom Hicks to try to prevent the proposed sale? If so, what are your plans? Do you intend to somehow allow him an ongoing stake in the football club?
If you are considering allying with Mr Hicks I would encourage you not to do so. You will have the gratitude of Liverpool supporters everywhere.
As for Mr Hicks, well, his financial record and character speak for themselves. Personally, I wouldn't lend him a fiver.
Thanks for your time.
Yours sincerely
Ian Roylance
