The Hicks interview tommorrow

[Rashid]

Apparently Alan Kennedy just said on City that the interview will include a heart felt response to a concerned fans letter that Hicks received last week. It will also have gushing praise for Rafa and how much Hicks is determined to give him a new contract.

 

Apparently of course. ;)

[rebel23]

if he wants to offer Rafa a new contract he should put it to the board and let them vote on it, they will likely all agree to that

 

he is trying to use Rafa and the affection fans have as PR, the implication being that only HE can offer him a contract, which is nonsense.

[Crazyhorse7778]

Might as well say it and get it out of the way now.

 

Hicks is a cunt.

[StevieH]

Vote Hicks. Tom Hicks.

Actually, thats the only way it CAN be done. And with all the arsing around Rafa has had to endure this year (I honestly wouldn't have blamed him if he had walked), its the least he deserves.

 

A new contract, with a really hefty payout clause for dismissal in the next 2 years. Thats the only way the board can show Rafa that his job is safe for those 2 years. Rafa can then just ignore the politiking, work with whatever budget he is given (and who the fuck knows who'll be deciding that, and how much it will be) and let all the other wankers - Hicks, Gillette, Parry and Moores - kick each other to death.

 

Hopefully, someone sane (like DIC) will be there to pick up the pieces.

Another interview, just shut the fuck up. We have European Cup Semi to think about.

[Walton Park]

This man is a total disgrace. I dont think this week is the time to publicly put the club through the shit again. Have they no fucking class whatsoever.

Shame on them wankers.

I hope if this is shown that the twat get some back lash.

Our club needs an exorcism.

[philyhamann]

We need to expose him again, I think its something we should bring up at SoS. Make him put some short term aims beneficial to the club down on paper, just to reaffirm he is a lying cunt.

[Heighway]

No doubt more hollow PR.

[bigredruss]

rafa deserves the new contract, but a pr stunt to get us to think he's not the bad guy in all of this

[cochcaer]

I think I'll be sick. What about our heartfelt desire for him to fuck off.

[Rashid]

I am wondering how Alan Kennedy knows this.

Might be pre-recorded and he's told them not to air it til tomorrow.

[Red and White]

He spoke to a journo today at the service.

There's nothing about it on SSN. You'd think they would be battering it if it was an exclusive.

[Paul]

Manipulative fucking cunt. Thousands of Reds will fall for it though.

[RAOScotland]

I wish Tom Hicks would just shut up and stop giving the press more shit to throw at us.

At the end of the day, we've got a european semi coming next week.

Could they honestly have not left all this till the end of the season?

classless bastards!!

[RSM]

I'm sold, I think Hicks is an alright fella, he just doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.

[Heighway]

I believe Hicks has finally realised he can't raise the funds to buy out Gillett at the end of May,and is causing as much damage as he can to Parry,Moores and Gillett

 

It would make a good movie, but I can't see it. If that was the case he'd be on the phone to DIC begging for his 40 million proft and sailing off into the sunset.

 

He's obviously got something lined up, maybe new investors, or he wouldn't bother playing games. These people only care about money.

You fucking serious?

 

Paul, loads of fallen for it. One of my mates rang me today and was going on about Rafa spending £71m since they came in (I feel like shit for highlighting that to him last week) and how the new stadium is the best in the world. etc etc

[Heighway]

I can tell you right now that DIC will buy Gillett's share at the end of May.

 

Been hearing the same for months, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm inclined to think it's bollocks as I doubt DIC would own half the club with anyone, never mind Hicks.

[taliesin08]

“A population weakened and exhausted by battling against so many obstacles -- whose needs are never satisfied and desires never fulfilled -- is vulnerable to manipulation and regimentation. The struggle for survival is, above all, an exercise that is hugely time-consuming, absorbing and debilitating. If you create these ''anti-conditions,'' your rule is guaranteed for a hundred years.”

[StevieH]

May is the key date, and that is the when the opportunity for Hicks to have 1st option to buy out Gillette's shares expires.

[Heighway]

So come May we'll be owned by both DIC and Hicks? Who does Rafa report to then and start planning with for the future, including the summers transfer plans?
