How'd you do that mate?

 

 

You'd included the google search part of the link as well as the original picture - I just chopped the bit that wasn't needed off the start.

 

If you're finding pics through google search, you're best off right clicking on the pic, going to "properties" and copying the link from there, or that's too much fannying about just keep clicking the picture from your search reasults until you get just the original picture on screen, then copy the link of that page from your browser address bar.

 

You'd used this:

For a paper to initially bring it up that he has been abusive about fans and the demand and interest it will create in wanting to know what exactly he said. It usually ends up getting 'leaked' by an unknown source to the press. Call it a guesstimate.

 

Maybe once the court case is over (and hopefully we win) it may get published.

I think Leo (for it is surely he?) was asking how I'd fixed his picture, although I might be wrong.

He said the only reason he had pitched the club between £600m and £800m was because too many people were talking about selling just for the £282m owed to RBS.

 

If he's put this in writing, and Broughton has it, it could be very detrimental to his case. He's basically admitting to overvaluing the club.

This opens up the possibility of a settlement - if NESV are willing to pay a further £40-£50m that takes the price well into Hicks' sale bracket. My guess is that is what he's angling for - he'll probably offer to step aside for a further £75m in an attempt to squeeze a bit more out of NESV. If th club wins in the High Court he may reduce that offer.

 

This all makes the 'reasonable valuation' argument very difficult for the yanks. iF this document goes before the judge, the judge should put HIcks' lawyers on th spot and ask them what they believe a reasonable valuation to be. We then get into horse-trading.

In fact, Hicks predicted the Reds would fetch somewhere between the RBS debt level and £600m.

 

Liverpool have now agreed a £300m sale to New England Sports Ventures.

 

 

 

Does anyone have quotes from Hicks for this? Because if he values the club between £282m and £600m, and the sale figure is £300m, then surely he's saying the sale price is one that could be expected.

Well said Alan. Again.

 

As for 'noise', this guy really is a clown isn't he? For all the strength of feeling that he's seen directed against him, the protests, the e-mail campaings, the hounding of him and anyone that's been linked with extending him credit, that wasn't really noise.

 

What he's experienced so far is a murmur, a gentle whisper of discontent, compared to what will be unleashed if he succeeds in his efforts to block the sale of the club.

 

Something Hicks doesn't seem to have taken into account is that no longer will he only be facing the wrath of the portion of our fans that had been educated about the real situation behind the carefully constructed facade he'd assembled over the last three years.

 

The full situation, the whole extent of the financial sodomy that he's been responsible for whilst taking this club to the brink of administration, is now known by everyone that's glanced at a newspaper, clicked a single web link or watched a report on the evening news in the past week.

 

If Tom Hicks thinks he's seen the full strength of Liverpool fans' fury, he's going to be in for a very rude awakening if he manages to torpedo this deal. People have had enough.

If only Robo.

 

They'd still turn up in tens of thousands to give him their hard earned cash.

He's just scum, with a family of scum. Just a prime example of how money can't buy you class or brains. It must have been a real eye-opener for someone like Broughton to have had to deal with him in a business environment seeing as he embodies the worst excesses of brash, brazen and outright vulgar Texan stereotype. Hicks could quite realistically play a viallain in a Smokey and the Bandit remake. It's incredible the man has ever made any money and his lack of professionalism is -and always has been - an embarassment.

They would but there would still be a hell of a lot more willing to act against him as well.

 

I know people will say 'as long as he's getting your money he won't care about what you do' but the fact remains that 'what you can do' depends to a large extent on how many of you are willing to do it.

 

New ways in which to escalate campaigns against him may present themselves with a greater number of people committed to them and there's no doubt that a huge number of people will have been fully informed about the club's situation for the first time this week.

 

The overall tone of the coverage has also been extremely anti-Hicks, in fact other than Redknapp's nonsense, I can't recall seeing a single piece of positive coverage of them.

 

All of that is going to have an effect on some fans, not to mention galvanising the opinions of those that were already switched on. There are people out there that might not be persuaded to act by an article in the paper, but would if one of their mates asked them to.

 

It definitely makes the task easier for those trying to organise the resistance - too many people are happy to have their opinions spoon-fed to them by the papers but now that almost all of the club's coverage is focusing firmly on the farce going on behind the scenes, at least those people are having their minds focused on the important issues instead of constant wittering speculation about whether Nando and Stevie are happy and so on.

 

Anyway, I don't even want to be thinking about Hicks still being here after 15th October. That's not a situation that I'm prepared to imagine just yet.
