Dear Mr Hester,

 

 

Having reviewed the company accounts in relation to Liverpool Football Club and Parent Company Kop Football Ltd, of which there is approximately £237M worth of debt; it is clear that the business model operated by the current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett is unsustainable.

 

Whilst I appreciate that any refinancing package deal is a confidential matter between the Royal Bank of Scotland and the current owners of Liverpool Football Club, it is also a very personal issue for many Liverpool supporters around the world. As a British Tax Payer and a Lifelong Liverpool fan, I can assure you that I am not happy that my hard earned money is being used to pay for the purchase of Liverpool Football Club for George Gillett and Tom Hicks.

 

There is an ever increasing sense of anger and resentment towards the the owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, which is likely to turn towards RBS if the refinancing deal is extended in the coming months.

 

It is my understanding that if the Refinancing deal is renegotiated beyond July 2010, then a campaign in protest against the Royal Bank of Scotland will take place which will include Billboards with anti-RBS messages encouraging Liverpool Fans to Boycott RBS in a similar manner to the Boycott of the Sun Newspaper (please see below).

If your objective is "the long-term success of Liverpool Football Club" then I urge you to formally refuse any longer term refinancing for Hicks and Gillett, thus leaving the current obligations needing to be immediately repaid.

 

We as supporters of Liverpool Football Club are effectively paying the loan repayments for Hicks and Gillett, and as taxpayers have a "controlling stake" in RBS. We should therefore have a say in where our money is being invested.

 

The ball is firmly in your court.

 

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

 

 

Liverpool Supporter

 

Feel free to add to it.

If RBS leave, the cunts will simply get the money from the junk bond market like the Glazers have

 

Not only does that mean we pay even more fucking interest, we have even less influence as at least RBS give a small fuck about UK publicity.

Once the debt is held by an annoymous bond-holder, we won't even know who it is & they won't give a flying fuck.

Completely agree. They have an incentive to encourage a takeover, or at the very least a substantial investment and watering down of the twats' influence.

I think it will force them closer to selling though.

just out of interest like who is going to organise the billboards and RBS boycott.

 

 

In my opinion there is only one boycott associated with LFC and any others dilute the impact on that.

 

just my opinion.

 

Dont know yet like i said edit how you like just as long as it isnt abusive and you leave the To and CC the way they are.
