#LFC imminent statement from hicks

It will be Purslow & Ayre resigned or sacked, probably.

[TheResonator]

So if there is a statement later tonight, it will be that Ayre & Purslow have been removed, I guess?

 

This is what I am thinking - and hoping to fuck is not the case.

 

We'll wind up with Hicks Junior in the dugout.

Imminent statement from Hicks according to people on Twitter.

[usernameunknown]

Shit! Him mouthing off cant be good.

[WaltonRed]

Surely Broughton would of spoken to Hester before pulling this move?

 

I'm shitting it from Hicks now.

 

He'll say he's got the dough, nailed on.

The board managed to successfully repel a refinance proposal back in June. H&G can't get rid of board without Chairman's permission, which we assume will not be forthcoming. How can the refinance of a £300m loan at presumably extortionate interest costs be in the 'interests of the company', when viewed against a purchasers proposal to pay of all long term debt? The noose is closing round Tom Hicks neck and this is his last choke.

I reckon he's going to promise a big January transfer window.

[coop]

With all due respect coop there was no extension in July, And there running with the fact that the 3 other board members are not acting in the best interest of the other shareholders, an this refinacing deal finished on the 1st October so unless you have a copy in front of you that says otherwise, those clauses no longer exist..

 

Fair enough mate was not aware of the refinance finishing on the 1st.

 

Still wonder how they would get around the Chairman needing to approve the removal of the directors.

I'm scared, really scared that those pair of cunts are going to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

 

Me too.

Him and Gillett sacked Purslow and Ayre this morning, but there standing there ground as they believe they cant sack them. I honestly don't know If he has the money, but Hicks and Gilletts lawyers must think they have a case to run with.

 

Not necessarily. Lawyers advise, but ultimately act on instructions. If the client insists they fight a case (provided it isn't illegal) then that's what they'll do, even if it's hopeless. And they certainly won't mind doing that if Hicks is shelling out for the hourly rate. It seems like it's may be a delaying tactic to stop the Board accepting a bid, but I'm not sure it can stop RBS taking the club.

[Carvalho Diablo]

It will be Purslow & Ayre resigned or sacked, probably.

 

Yup, any decent fella would fall on his sword and go gracefully.

 

Hicks doesn't even know what that word means.

 

I agree, he's gonna announce that they've been sacked and condemn their treachery.

 

How the fuck he expects to pacify the millions of supporters he's only ever succeeded in alienating is frankly, mind boggling.

[Faustus]

Oh fuck.

[RED Tezza]

And if Broughton leaves? Or if he doesn't, can they fire the Chairman?

 

HOw would they do that Broughton was appointed by RBS.

[manwiththestick]

YOU'VE MADE NO INVESTMENT YOU TWATS!!!!

[TheResonator]

How the fuck he expects to pacify the millions of supporters he's only ever succeeded in alienating is frankly, mind boggling.

 

Doubt he expects to. Just doesn't care. Expects people to keep going to the match, keep buying the merchandise, keep paying the interest.

 

Best case scenario this will be the straw that breaks the camels back and Anfield will fall to 10k or thereabouts until those fucking cunts have left. But I won't hold my breath over it.

[barosrocks]

Maybe he'll announce he's close to finding his missing chromosome

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Hicks statement on SSN now.

[manwiththestick]

That statement is pure horse shit.

[TheHowieLama]

HOw would they do that Broughton was appointed by RBS.

 

Easy, and....

#LFC Hicks says will resist sale of club "without due process or agreement of the club"

[Ring of Fire]

Prepare yourselves for the worst IMO. Have a feeling that we will be moving to full scale riot mode once this statement is released. The statement from Broughton was a warning shot to prepare us all.

[Carra_is_legend]

He will probably say they have been sacked and let Ayre and Purslow go to the court.

 

Messy.
