When Hicks & Gillett took over this is what they promised and havent delivered none of it !!!! It really makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.
Intentions for the Club
The Gillett and Hicks families are extremely enthusiastic about the possibility of continuing the legacy of such a prestigious and unique club. The families are ambitious and will strive to ensure that the Club is in the best position
possible to achieve sustained, on-pitch success and long term stability. The families' ownership of the Club will be a multi-generational family commitment to invest in and develop the Club and the families hope that ultimately and over time, the Gillett and Hicks names become as synonymous with the Club as the
Moores' name is today.
The families are well aware of the importance of investment in new players to achieve on-pitch success and as such are prepared to commit resources to make appropriate investment in the playing squad. The Gillett family's investment in the Montreal Canadiens demonstrates its belief in investing in teams to generate success. The Gillett family has invested in the Canadiens playing squad to the maximum allowable level as permitted by the National Hockey League. Likewise, Thomas O. Hicks has demonstrated his commitment to winning through his ownership
and continual investment in the playing squads of both the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers.
The Gillett and Hicks families have a strong appreciation of the special tradition and heritage of the Club and will do everything in their power to uphold the cherished traditions and continue to enhance the reputation of the Club. Liverpool Football Club is a club of outstanding historical wealth and the Gillett and Hicks families hope that they can be a part of a successful future at the Club, together with the players, manager, coaches, staff members and,
most importantly, the fans.
Kop understands that to ensure that the Club remains as one of the top clubs in the FA Premier League it needs to move to a new state of the art stadium with an increased capacity from its current home of Anfield. As such, the families have indicated their intention to take forward the Stanley Park development, for which planning permission has already been received, and intend to commence the process of building one of the leading stadia in Europe. Kop recognises the importance of a new stadium to the Club and its objective is to ensure that the Club has the appropriate resources and infrastructure for a football club with the history and stature in the world of football which Liverpool has and in order to continue to compete at the highest level of club football.
There is no-one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club.
