What an absolute parasite... Hicks: “I should make four times my money” Article added: April 17th, 2010 ▪ Add a comment TIA Home » LFC News » Hicks: “I should make four times my money” Liverpool co-owner Tom Hick claims he expects to make four times the money he invested when the club is sold. He and co-owner George Gillett officially announced LFC is for sale yesterday, appointing Martin Broughton as chairman to oversee the sale. In an interview with Wall Street Journal the Texan said “I should make four times my money.” Staggeringly, he claims he expects the Club to be sold for between £600m to £800m, saying “Liverpool will be the most profitable investment I’ve ever made.” Hicks and Gillett bought the Club in February 2007, promising not to place debt onto the club – which they subsequently did (£243m at present) – promising to build a new stadium and “have a spade in the ground within 60 days” – something they haven’t delivered over 3 years later. Add in the broken promises of star signings like ’snoogy doogy’, their infighting, public spats, approaching Klinsmann and a net transfer spend of approximately £2m over the last 4 transfer windows and it’s not hard to see why fans are unhappy with their “custodians”. Yet Hicks still can’t see it, “When you feel fans turn against you it’s very frustrating” he said. This is the same Tom Hicks who, within weeks of taking over the club in 2007 compared the purchase of Liverpool FC to the purchase of Weetabix: “When I was in the leverage buy-out business we bought Weetabix and we leveraged it up to make our return. You could say that anyone who was eating Weetabix was paying for our purchase of Weetabix. It was just business. It is the same for Liverpool; revenues come in from whatever source and go out to whatever source and, if there is money left over, it is profit.” 3 years later Hicks looks like he’s going to get what he said he was going to get – a massive profit. Not forgetting the millions (approximately £8m between he and Gillett thus far) in personal expenses the two have taken out the Club. Yes, unbelievably their expense claims have been more than Rafa’s net spend last year. This is the same ‘businessman’ whose son told a Liverpool fan to “blow me f**k face” just recently. The same ‘businessman’ who has financial problems ongoing with his Texas Rangers baseball team and has a history of ruining football clubs.

You dont think a Liverpool player has an obligation to attend the Hillsborough memorial service? Thankfully Rafa doesnt share such a view and would ensure all players attend, as they rightly should (injury etc permitting).

Yes last season. Played in the pre-season friendly against em though.

Reds fixture changes - Liverpool FC And yes, we will be wearing new kit, same as last time we brought new kit out and wore it on last day of season. A few days before it goes on general sale.

Possibly the funniest thing ive ever watched/cringed at... VLOG : Antoine’s emotional rant :: The Empire of The Kop – Liverpool F.C. He wishes he was there.

Standing please. Standing killed nobody, shit policing and fences did. You can safely stand at rugby, music concerts and most places in Europe.

Bringing Ngog on was a good decision. Bringing Ngog on for Torres was not. Ngog should've replaced Kuyt or Benayoun then the chances are a chance would have fallen for Torres to bury.

Carslberg will remain an active sponsor of LFC just not the main shirt sponsor so to answer the question, no.

So because Mancs fans are happy to purchase scarves which relate to the history of their football club, we'll all be happy buy to merchandise of some random fucking club from Brazil who Tom Hicks hadnt to be involved with. Not quite the same is it. Black is the only colour. Large black flags everywhere. Fucking easy and visual. Keep it simple.

Yep, Stevie told him to get forward. Rafa told him to hold back in the second half. Nice one Wafa.

Oh imagine it, Everton go on a hell of run, finish four, get hammered in the CL qualifiers (again). And we waltz in via the Europa League and an easy qualifier against TNS!

I couldn't give a shit about Europe if it meant winning the League. So Mourinho would suit me fine thanks.

The team that won the Uefa Cup in 2001: Westerveld Babbel Henchoz Hyypia Carragher Gerrard Hamann McAllister Murphy Owen Heskey (Fowler) What a fucking solid team. Never outmuscled, played some classy, exciting stuff as well as grinding out results when they had to. By far our best 11 in the last 20 years.

Have you been to the Dirk Kuyt school of 'we'll turn things around' 'our season starts here' 'this can be a turning point'... Fuck me, im sick of hearing how next games are a chance to turn it around, it was ok to say it in fucking November, 4 months later we still havent and were not going to.

Never gonna happen, waste of time, stick to realistic protests such as turning our backs on the pitch for the opening ten minutes etc etc.

It was suggested 2 years ago... Black Tuesday – This Is Anfield (Liverpool FC) The idea of massive black sheets all over the Kop is simple yet effective. Add in turning our backs to the pitch for x amount of minutes ala the Truth demonstration while singing Liverpool football club is in the wrong hands etc etc... Easily a picture is drawn for the tv, cameras, newspapers etc. Protests outside the ground will never achieve the same amount of media exposure as protests inside. This is simple and would be easy to implement.

Have they got that sign outside Melwood yet "Form an orderly line here to come and abuse Rafa"? Try telling the stubborn one he's stubborn, what would be the point in that anyway?

Yes. Hes fucking clueless and has been for months now. At least he finally admitted it tonight.

Thank god for the responses in this thread or I wouldve just wasted 5 minutes of my life. As it turns out ive been mildly amused instead.

Both.

2 mins 17.... Ive not heard of David Elder of SOS before? Apologies of course if he is a committee member etc, but if not surely it aint right that he's seemingly 'representing' SOS? Is he American?

Either that or we could just sing about Liverpool and not become bitter knobs / nationwide chumps like Wolves who sing about other managers?

Kolo Toure earns more than Rooney. Fuck me.
