Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Postby Ciggy » Tue Sep 21, 2010 1:07 pm

Kop faithfull.

Following newspaper reports stating that Blackstone/GSO have pulled out of talks with Liverpool FC owner Tom Hicks, Kop Faithful has today sought confirmation of this development.

Kop Faithful has spoken directly to a leading GSO Executive this morning and held an amicable and constructive conversation about the situation.

It was confirmed to Kop Faithful today's reports of Blackstone/GSO ending negotiations with Hicks are correct.

It was also confirmed to Kop Faithful the incredible reaction of supporters since news of Hicks' refinancing plans with Blackstone/GSO were revealed and were 'taken fully into account'.

There is no doubt the email campaign which targeted Blackstone/GSO was a key factor in this decision. We have therefore told Blackstone/GSO we will stop asking supporters to bombard their offices with emails.

However, we now urge Liverpool fans to build on this momentum and make it clear to all financial institutions seeking to assist Tom Hicks and George Gillett jr we will not stop until these men have left our club.

We know Hicks and Gillett will not give up their refinancing plans because of this blow.

But we also know from the events of the last 72 hours a collective effort from all those who love Liverpool FC can stop them.

Thank you to each and every one of you. Keep up the good work.
There is no-one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.

Kenny Dalglish 1/2/2011

REST IN PEACE PHIL, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Because Hicks is trying to get the re-finance on future revenue from the new stadium.

Thats brilliant news, yet another thorn in his side.

totally agree. There should be sections for people who want to get involved in the campaigns, and sections where we discuss football. Pointless clouding every thread with discussions on Roy because he's only been at the club five minutes.

well said reg.

let's hope we see this in writing somewhere as this could be the final nail in any financing plans.

Hicks/Gillete etc have said they're selling up. They're waiting for a buyer. They have admitted defeat, they're going down the pan as business goes. So I don't get why people are still shouting Hicks Out!  yeah, they know we want them out, they're selling up. Things don't happen instantly or even overnight.

They can't leave the club any quicker than they are doing. They have to sell it. So why are people reacting like this.

HICKS OUT! GET OUT OF OUR CLUB! they chant...

"yeah, we are doing" they reply.

seems a bit strange to why the fans are carrying on - they're going anyway. ???

The emphasis Lee, is that 'if you work with Hicks you're going to attract a lot of negative publicity' and in these difficult economic times no one wants that.

RBS are a classic example, they've received thousands of emails, had to reply to them all and even sent a letter airmail all the way to me in Brazil in response to my letters. They sense the negative value of this association and are having to respond.

Hicks is becoming toxic, one small financing 'deal' for a bank is massively affecting their public relations, public opinion and attracting massive negative media publicity. 'Its not worth it!'

RBS and BarCap will be associated with T&T in the city of Liverpool for 10+ years. Blackstone, other banks etc.. would be stupid to get involved.

Not only do they have militant fans against them but this news the council will cancel the plannning permission is fantastic - they now have the city authorities against them - why get involved in this mess?

Hicks, a Texan, is running around in a starnge city thousands of miles from home where he has no support, no backers, no chance of success.

Its the end mate, we need to keep pushing teh knife, but the tw@t's bleeding, thats for sure.

Sitting in the middle of the pitch is just more negative publicity that businessmen who are sensitive to share prices dont want to be associated with.

I'm all for it. I'd paint the pitch as well.

Lee J wrote:yeah cos by going to the game you've already dropped ya £40 or whatever into their pockets.

How will the team and Roy know that the protests aren't been aimed at them and the so called 'rubbish' on pitch performance. If they get wind that there is a protest on the pitch it could have a knock on effect, emotions running high in the stands etc could backlash.

just a thought

To late for that now LEE ,the LFC masses are finally stirring . They've finally got it into there heads that what matters on the pitch is an irrelevance in the grand scheme of things mate .

Ciggy wrote:Its hard to believe that just over three years ago we where in the CL final losing to AC Milan but we had a hell of a time throughout it beating the best teams in the world in the process, and thats what attracted Fernando Torres here to win the CL other medals and trophys, the poor lad hasnt won a single thing since he arrived, because we havent won a single thing since the American owners arrived at our club, co incidence?
No wonder the best striker in the world cuts a forlorn picture on the pitch, because him like us have been lied to over and over again with false and broken promises of new owners, world class players that would be playing along side him, Tom Hicks said earlier this year we will have a big summer, a big summer in what way? That it p!sses down everyday is that what you meant Tom?

Because the only thing we got in the summer was lies, lies and more damn lies. So did Fernando and that is why he will leave either in january or at the end of the season unless there is a change at the top he is so dissalousioned as are the fans with the way the club is being run, with the current owners and a manager clearly out of his depth.
The lad deserves better and guess what so do we you are nothing without us, we pay the bills you would be a fool to not remember that.
And I dont know how much more you lot in the boardroom think we can take, there is only so far you can push people before they snap and retaliate well that time has arrived and you bankers, loan sharks, LBO merchants who claim to be caring custodians you pathetic excuses to man you are about to get the full brunt of it and dont say we didnt warn you have ignored us for long enough, and continue to take the p!ss by taking our money.

Well enough is enough you have all pushed us to far now there is noway back and you are about to see the damage we can and will do, hurt our club we will hurt you.
And now you will pay for your actions. The uprising has begun the cavalry has arrived and now we will take you on, you where warned and choose to ignore our pleas, you told us we will be taken over and have a new owner in the transfer window, you played us all like a fiddle well done round of applaus for the Liverpool Boardroom for stitching us and fernando Torres up like a kipper.

But you didnt expect it all to backfire your lies have done something that you didnt bank on (no pun intended) you see there was loads of what we call ostriches that had there heads buried in the sand they have taken their heads out the sand when they realised Roy Hodgson arrived along with no world class players. They looked around in shock and horror and said what the fuck is going on here, we introduced ourselves, they appoligised that it had taken them so long to arrive but never mind they are here now and thats all that matters.

There is no Rafa in the way now to point the finger out you have now been exposed warts and all Roy is just a sideshow god help him the poor fella doesnt even know why he is here, do you want to tell him or shall we?
No you tell him do the right thing and be honest with the old gent he doesnt deserve the blame does he?

Hey boardroom you put us into this mess we didnt, Rafa didnt, and neither has Roy.
And what a mess we find ourselves in, we need to give Kim & Aggie a ring from How Clean Is Your House because our house has been neglected for three years and it stinks and is rotten to the core. A few people have knocked to clean up the mess only to find the door slammed in their faces because people where being selfish and greedy whilst living in their squalor, with an horrendous stench that refuses to leave, Aggie will come in and take a few samples to the lab to tell us the results and the name of the bacteria.

Its called Tom Hicks & George Gillett latin name for it is greedy lying b@stards what it does is it takes sporting institutions and puts them into ruins and leaves people heart broken, soul destroyed, and pennyless.
There is only one way to eradicate it and thats by not paying it money, your money.  Thats how it survives plain and simple cut off the money supply it leaves and goes on to somewhere else to ruin more peoples lives it does not care who gets in its way because it is greedy.

But fear not my fellow Liverpool fans we are now going to push this fat stinking mess out of our club once and for all we are not going to walk alone, and they should ignore us at their peril and this message is to anyone who stands in our way, you will be guilty by association you have stood by watched and let our club go into rapid decline you have let it happen not us.

We are now coming to get our club back and look after it after the three years of neglect and battering it has taken if you where parents you would be locked up by social services by now because Liverpool football club is a member of our family and we dont take to kindly to people who abuse it.
Your time is up we want back what is rightfully ours, your names might be over the door but cusdodians you are not and never will be.

We didnt let our dead lay dying we certainly are not going to stand by watching whilst two yanks try and kill our club.
You are a disgrace to the human race, pathetic, inexcusable, wretched owners, you have done nothing for this club, just take, take, take.
You are male whore who will do anything for money and greed. How do you both sleep at night?

You wont for much longer its about time you had sleepless nights, its about time you felt hurt and anger, because since your arrival here thats all what we have felt well no more its finished the tables are being turned and our Red Army is uprising we are immobilising the troops ready for Red October.

Its our club not yours, and we will not let anyone stand in our way no more, you are a pair of old men for crying out loud go retire play bowls or something, or is the kill you want? Do you get off on other peoples misery? What do your kids and grandkids think about you? Do they love or respect you? I would hate you if you where a member of my family. But I have morals maybe yours don't, maybe they will grow up to be like you and carry on ripping people off just for money and greed.

I am a firm believer of karma and what goes around comes around and Karma is coming to get you mark my words !!!!

You are about to witness the sheer power and force of Liverpool fans I would suggest you get out now or face the consequences.
We have had enough of you, blow me fuck faces.
We are coming to take back what is rightfully ours we pay the bills and if you dont leave we will make sure you are evicted when we stop paying for you to remain in control.
Dont believe us? Just wait and see ask the people who have felt the wrath of Liverpool fans. they will tell you.

Its not to late you have three weeks to sell up and get your fat yank @rses out of our club or be prepared to face the consequences !!!!
We will not rest until you have dissapeared and never to be heard of or associated with our club again.

Ready Troops? CHARGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brought a tear to my eye this!!!

excellent post!!! :buttrock
