I have just received the following response from Tom Hicks Junior when I emailed him the link to Dominic King's piece in the Liverpool Echo this morning - "Rafa Benitez should not have to manage Liverpool FC's debt"

 

What a charming individual he is.

 

I think it touched a nerve.

Subject: Rafa Benitez should not have to manage Liverpool FC's debt

 

"While Liverpool are crying out for investment in their playing staff, had they cashed in on Babel, Benitez’s best hopes of spending a figure in excess of £9m this month would be to invest in a lottery ticket and hope all six numbers come up.

 

In the others words, the money would have been swallowed up to help finance the £240m debt the club is trying to manage; club insiders insist that is not the case and the deficit is manageable but critics of Tom Hicks and George Gillett will beg to differ.

 

it will be hard to escape the feeling that Liverpool’s main aim for the next few years will be debt reduction rather than trophy gathering.

 

Something desperately needs to change; while many see a new stadium or a redeveloped Anfield being key to transforming Liverpool’s financial fortunes, isn’t there a case to be made for investing in the one facet that should always take priority – the team?

 

Just say the Reds miss out on qualifying for the Champions League this season and, heaven forbid, some of the star players are sold to make up the shortfall in revenue they would normally receive from rubbing shoulders with the best in Europe.

 

Slowly but surely, Liverpool would find it harder and harder to keep pace with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs, to the point where European football might slip off the landscape completely."

How do I bring up the email he sent you?

He must have been pissed, you don't do that kind of thing otherwise. The papers will surely be interested in this though, it's pretty big news. It's not like you were abusive to him or anything, so there's no excuse for responding like he did, and to cc Ayre and Nash into as well??? Haha he must have been smashed.

Even pissed Dave he wouldnt get away with it.

 

As long as its legit then im sure a few media outlets will be interested.

 

Like its been put Steve has not abused them and purely asked regards why Rafa is not getting transfer money.

 

Im sure Hicks PR team are preparing as we type.

I know he wouldn't get away with it, and I'm certainly not defending him. But I just can't see him doing that if he hadn't had a few. I can't see any reason why any paper wouldn't want to do something on this, it's pretty big news I think.

 

Good work Steve.

Hopefully him and his family get smashed to pieces. With a sledgehammer.

Steve it might be worth you putting the whole email you recieved regarding the abuse instead of just the second reply.

 

If any media outlet would want to use it they would want to print the whole email (obviosly with the email addy blanked out).
