Liverpool fans must be patient in battle to boot out Tom Hicks and George Gillett
The Premier League is a great party damaged by a few guests. Those currently urinating in the punchbowl are Tom Hicks and George Gillett, Liverpool’s owners who have long outstayed their welcome.
By Henry Winter
Published: 8:00AM BST 28 Sep 2010
The Premier League hosts are so keen for these carpetbaggers’ exit that they have been in contact with Royal Bank of Scotland, who could call in the loathed Americans’ loan in October.
The prospect of a famous, if debt-ridden footballing institution passing into the hands of a state-owned bank causes concern in certain quarters, but it is understood that such stewardship would not be an issue for the Government. RBS would be expected to sell Liverpool on reasonably quickly.
The more one peers through the fires burning around Anfield the more it becomes apparent that Liverpool’s future can best be secured only by RBS assuming temporary control. Hicks seeks to refinance, a doomsday scenario that RBS and other firms such as Citibank must resist.
RBS’s intentions are not known but anyone who cares about Liverpool will hope the bank calls Hicks’s bluff in his game of brinkmanship, calls in the loan and calls time on the Americans’ disastrous reign. Any potential buyer will sensibly wait until RBS’s Oct 15 deadline, when Liverpool will be available at a far more realistic price. As well as eliciting schadenfreude at Hicks and Gillett losing out, it would conclude an embarrassing episode in the history of English football.
Premier League officials communicate regularly with the Liverpool chairman, Martin Broughton, and the chief executive, Christian Purslow. If RBS does the right thing by Liverpool, the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Scudamore, must then work closely with the bank to find the right new owner. Someone with money and integrity would be nice.
Scudamore’s organisation is understandably wary about gatecrashing the boardroom of a member club. Other clubs, for all their outward expressions of altruism towards Liverpool, might harbour private grievances if a rival was bolstered. But one painful memory should guide Premier League thinking: it fiddled while Portsmouth burned. Scudamore must get more involved.
Liverpool supporters also have a key role to play in assisting RBS. If the bank does take on the Americans, the fans must redouble their backing for Steven Gerrard and the team, showing why Liverpool are special. This is Anfield, this is worth investing in.
Having spent part of the year helping Kenny Dalglish write his memoirs, this observer is fully cognisant of the deep passions stirred by Liverpool. Saturday’s 9,000-strong demonstration on the Kop underlined that.
Fans can aid RBS in pushing Hicks and Gillett out the door by being patient, by eschewing any action that might scare off potential buyers. The emotion flowing from the Kop is both a positive and a negative in the eyes of investors. RBS needs the fans’ support before getting the party started again at Liverpool.

Viral campaign is a great idea, everyone who wants to maximise their reach uses them. Even Politicians. I just hope it's not too late, were almost in October now.

Hollywood director involved in anti Hicks & Gillett movie, filming in L4 this weekend
Huge UK Casting Director Dan Hubbard (King Kong, The Damned United, The Bourne Ultimatum etc), is a massive Liverpool FC fan. This weekend he is coming up to Liverpool with Hollywood Producer & Director Mike Jefferies and together they are producing a viral to start a campaign against Tom Hicks and George Gillett. They want them out, nothing to do with them being Americans just, as fans, they will not ever accept the club they love being touted as a product like a soft drink.
They are looking for celebrities and influential Liverpool fans to be involved in the viral. We have lots of people going along already but wondered if was something you’d be interested in?
You would only be needed for 5 minutes. Either Saturday 10am-6pm or Sunday from 9am – Noon at Hope Street Hotel in town.
The viral is building momentum and becoming known about throughout the country, as well as stateside. The following article was in the Daily Mirror on 24th September 2010:
Another viral campaign, from Liverpool fan and Hollywood producer Mike Jefferies, has hit home Stateside, with the New York Times reporting that Hicks and Gillett are sending out a negative image of Americans to the English public. Jeffries, who wrote and produced the Goal! series of football-based films, has started a campaign which has hit the American media with thousands of emails, suggesting that no bank or financial business should lend to Hicks. In it, he cheekily writes: “Dear USA media executive, we love America in Liverpool but…we gave you the Beatles, and this is how you repay us?!
“What happened to the ‘Special Relationship between the U.S. and the U.K.? Are you aware of how Tom Hicks is driving our beloved Liverpool Football Club into the ground? How would you like it if a British ‘businessman’ came over the USA and destroyed the New York Yankees?” The letter was printed in full by the New York Times (you can read it here on: http://poorscousertommy.blogspot.com) and several other huge American newspapers. The campaign will be backed today by the SoS initiative, who are planning a sit in after the Sunderland game, and will then repeat the process for the following week’s visit of Blackpool. In a statement released by the Supporters’ Union yesterday, they called for all fans to join the direct action aimed at driving Hicks and Gillett out of the club.
“We would like as many supporters as possible, to make their feelings known towards the owners during the Sunderland match, using banners, flags and songs,” the statement read. “We ask everyone in the ground to make their voices heard – let everyone know you will no longer tolerate the current owners.
“Following the match, irrespective of the result, we intend to hold a sit in protest. Regardless of where you sit, remain in the ground and make your views heard. Gather at the front of the stand you are in, with flags and banners, and make your voices heard.” While the Liverpool club board is actively attempting to block their owners’ attempts to refinace their debt – which is crippling the club’s finances – manager Roy Hodgson remained cautious about the protest last night. He ran the risk of alienating supporters further, following a dismal week on the pitch, when he suggested that the action could have an adverse effect on his players. “It doesn’t help but is something I’ve had to live with since I came. It is a major issue for a group of people who are very much anti the owners and anti the current people who are trying to solve the situation. I knew the situation existed and it doesn’t help. But it’s often the case when things are conspiring against you there is always an extra thing to come in and make it worse.”
The plan is publish the movie on to You Tube and get as many views on it as possible to keep exposing what Tom Hicks is all about.
Please support this effort.

Hollywood A-listers to join battle for Liverpool

Read Hollywood producer's open letter to Tom Hicks
The campaign against Liverpool’s owners is about to reach for the stars…with a cast of Hollywood A-listers READY to highlight the protest.
Film industry big-hitters Mike Jefferies and Dan Hubbard, who are passionate Reds disgusted at what is happening to their beloved club, are on Merseyside this weekend to make a film highlighting the current plight.
Jefferies is a Hollywood producer and director with a string of box office hits to his credit, while Hubbard has been involved in massive blockbusters such as King Kong and Bourne Ultimatum, and both will bring their impressive contacts list to the party.
They intend to make a film that will hit the internet next week, with celebrities and influential Liverpool fans involved in what promises to be a massive viral campaign with millions of online hits.
Already, superstars such as Samuel L Jackson and Mike Myers – both confirmed Liverpool fans – are rumoured to be involved, and Jefferies, who wrote and produced the Disney ‘Goal!’ series of movies, has promised some huge names.
“You won’t believe who’s involved. I’ve been stunned by terrific reaction of so many celebrity Reds, and many, many fans want to be involved in the film too,” he said.
“It is important to get the message across that the fans want Hicks and Gillett out. There are millions of supporters who can not accept their club being touted as a product like a soft drink.
“The viral is already building massive momentum and there is a real feeling now amongst the fanbase. But they don’t care, they don’t care about our club – except its valuation.
“They don’t care about the players or the fans. Or our history, or our heritage, and they don’t care about our future.
“By trying to refinance instead of showing some class and cutting a reasonable deal with someone and cutting his losses, Hicks is saying 'f**k you' to the fans.
“So what should we say in reply? ENOUGH! The only way we can get him to change his arrogant mindset is to give him a bloody nose and embarrass him in front of his family, friends, business associates, investors etc.
“Therefore, I flew up from Cape Town last night to come to Liverpool to make a short film here this weekend in which Liverpool fans and stakeholders will tell Tom Hicks – and the world – what they think of him. We are going to shame him and hit him where it hurts.”
The Hollywood pair have already enlisted some massive stars to appear in the film, but they want more fans, and more celebrities to turn up in Liverpool this week to be part of the film.
They will be based at the Hope Street Hotel in the city centre from 10am-6pm on Saturday, and 9am-noon on Sunday, and want people to come along to record their protest.
“Our aim is to work night and day so that we can have the film uploaded onto YouTube by Tuesday, and we would then like fans to email the URL to their entire address books,” he added.
“Imagine if we could get a MILLION hits. If we can achieve that, then we can rest assured that everyone who counts will know that Tom Hicks is utterly despised. And more importantly, Tom Hicks will know.”
Jefferies wants as many fans as possible to join him, and he has promised to keep everyone updated on his Twitter account, which can be found on mikejefferiesL4. And who knows, there may be messages from some of Hollywood’s biggest stars on there….

Hollywood big-hitter Mike Jefferies, who is behind a guerilla film protest aimed at kicking Tom Hicks out of Anfield, has published an open letter to Anfield's in-debt co-owner.
Jefferies and business partner Dan Hubbard have jetted to Merseyside to lead a star-studded protest which is rumoured to include celebrity Reds Samuel L Jackson and Mike Myers. Here is an edited version of his letter...
So Tom Hicks wants to refinance and hang on to LFC. Hasn’t he got the message?
Doesn’t he know he has become the most despised person on Merseyside since Kelvin f***ing McKenzie? Doesn’t he realise the damage he’s doing to our club?
Just look at what he’s been doing:
•He promised that the acquisition of LFC would not be a Glazer-Style LBO. It ended up being as bad – if not worse – with all the debt being loaded onto the club’s balance sheet. The net result is that the club is now up to its ears in debt. And it could get worse!
•He’s been behind a policy to sell many top players and replace them with (significantly) cheaper alternatives. This, despite promises of “Snoogy Doogy” and “Big Summer 2010”.
•Despite promises made to the contrary, he’s failed to start work on a new stadium – despite circa $100M being spent on Architect fees.
•He undermined Rafa Benitez by (scandalously) having public discussions with a possible successor, Jurgen Klinsmann.
•He resorted to nepotism and appointed his son to the Board of Directors, who soon had to resign after sending an email to a fan in which he wrote: “Blow me f**k face”.
•He’s treated the King with sheer disrespect. Apparently he has “bigger things” in mind for KD than being Manager of LFC.
•He’s embarrassed the hell out of us in the media (and amongst our peers) with endless reports of trying (unsuccessfully) to shop the club like a clapped-out second-hand car – all over the world from Hong Kong to India, and from Saudi Arabia to the good old USA. Even to Syria! Everyone’s said no. Because of his ridiculous valuation(s).
The above list of ‘Crimes Against LFC’ is pretty shocking. And it’s why we are now languishing above the relegation zone. And out of the Carling Cup (to fourth Division Northampton… @ home!). And with no Champions League football. And with not much likelihood of it next season.
But Tom Hicks doesn’t care. By trying to refinance – instead of showing some class and cutting a reasonable deal with someone and cutting his losses - he is saying “f**k you”.
So what should we say in reply?
“ENOUGH!”
The only way we – as fans and stakeholders – can get him to change his arrogant mindset is to shame him and embarrass him in front of his family, friends, business associates, investors, and political contacts etc. And of course in the media. Especially in the USA. Especially in Texas!
He doesn’t give a s**t what we do in Liverpool….
We have to take this to him in America!
Therefore, I just flew up from Cape Town last night to come to Liverpool to make a short film here this weekend in which Liverpool fans and stakeholders will tell Tom Hicks – and the world! - exactly what they think of him.
And when friends of Tom Hicks see it, they will either start asking him some very painful questions, or they’ll no longer take his calls. We are going to shame him.
Liverpool fans everywhere are coming together this weekend with LOADS of local celebs, former players, high profile Redmen, actors, musicians, politicians and everyone who cares about our unique football club to send a simple, powerful and definitive message to Tom Hicks: GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
But we want the fans to be included too. So if YOU want to come along and tell Tom Hicks what you think of him, we will be filming on Saturday from 10.00am – 6.00pm at the Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool. Please form an orderly queue and be prepared for a wait....
And we'll be filming on Sunday too around the ground and in the pubs.
Our aim is to work night and day so that we can have the film uploaded onto YouTube by Tuesday and we would like the fans to then email the URL to their entire address books. Spread the word! To the media. To the financial community. To everyone. To the world!
Imagine if we can get a MILLION HITS on YouTube! If we achieve that, then we can rest assured that everyone who counts will know that Tom Hicks is utterly despised. And more importantly, Tom Hicks will know….
Walk on Tom. Jog on Tom. We are LIVERPOOL!!!

Liverpool fans everywhere are coming together this weekend with LOADS of local celebs, former players, high profile Redmen, actors, musicians, politicians and everyone who cares about our unique football club to send a simple, powerful and definitive message to Tom Hicks: GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
But we want the fans to be included too. So if YOU want to come along and tell Tom Hicks what you think of him, we will be filming on Saturday from 10.00am – 6.00pm at the Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool. Please form an orderly queue and be prepared for a wait....
And we'll be filming on Sunday too around the ground and in the pubs.
Our aim is to work night and day so that we can have the film uploaded onto YouTube by Tuesday and we would like the fans to then email the URL to their entire address books. Spread the word! To the media. To the financial community. To everyone. To the world!
Imagine if we can get a MILLION HITS on YouTube! If we achieve that, then we can rest assured that everyone who counts will know that Tom Hicks is utterly despised. And more importantly, Tom Hicks will know….
Walk on Tom. Jog on Tom. We are LIVERPOOL!!!

Hollywood big-hitter Mike Jefferies, who is behind a guerilla film protest aimed at kicking Tom Hicks out of Anfield, has published an open letter to Anfield's in-debt co-owner.
Jefferies and business partner Dan Hubbard have jetted to Merseyside to lead a star-studded protest which is rumoured to include celebrity Reds Samuel L Jackson and Mike Myers. Here is an edited version of his letter...
So Tom Hicks wants to refinance and hang on to LFC. Hasn’t he got the message?
Doesn’t he know he has become the most despised person on Merseyside since Kelvin f***ing McKenzie? Doesn’t he realise the damage he’s doing to our club?
Just look at what he’s been doing:
•He promised that the acquisition of LFC would not be a Glazer-Style LBO. It ended up being as bad – if not worse – with all the debt being loaded onto the club’s balance sheet. The net result is that the club is now up to its ears in debt. And it could get worse!
•He’s been behind a policy to sell many top players and replace them with (significantly) cheaper alternatives. This, despite promises of “Snoogy Doogy” and “Big Summer 2010”.
•Despite promises made to the contrary, he’s failed to start work on a new stadium – despite circa $100M being spent on Architect fees.
•He undermined Rafa Benitez by (scandalously) having public discussions with a possible successor, Jurgen Klinsmann.
•He resorted to nepotism and appointed his son to the Board of Directors, who soon had to resign after sending an email to a fan in which he wrote: “Blow me f**k face”.
•He’s treated the King with sheer disrespect. Apparently he has “bigger things” in mind for KD than being Manager of LFC.
•He’s embarrassed the hell out of us in the media (and amongst our peers) with endless reports of trying (unsuccessfully) to shop the club like a clapped-out second-hand car – all over the world from Hong Kong to India, and from Saudi Arabia to the good old USA. Even to Syria! Everyone’s said no. Because of his ridiculous valuation(s).
The above list of ‘Crimes Against LFC’ is pretty shocking. And it’s why we are now languishing above the relegation zone. And out of the Carling Cup (to fourth Division Northampton… @ home!). And with no Champions League football. And with not much likelihood of it next season.
But Tom Hicks doesn’t care. By trying to refinance – instead of showing some class and cutting a reasonable deal with someone and cutting his losses - he is saying “f**k you”.
So what should we say in reply?
“ENOUGH!”
The only way we – as fans and stakeholders – can get him to change his arrogant mindset is to shame him and embarrass him in front of his family, friends, business associates, investors, and political contacts etc. And of course in the media. Especially in the USA. Especially in Texas!
He doesn’t give a s**t what we do in Liverpool….
We have to take this to him in America!
