jm1 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hicks and Gillett, however, have vowed to pursue £1bn in damages from the club, arguing the deal is "illegal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Are Liverpool fans really this thick/gullible? One set of American chancers are ousted: being replaced by another set of potential American chancers. Their promises are, in some cases even in the actual wording, pretty much identical to the previous lot. So cue chanting, cheering, lauding the new boys?

trgf Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Difference is one was voted the worst owner in American sports and the others the best. They would have to be fucking stupid to do the same things when it's just cost the previous owners 140m. Unless they like losing money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'd imagine that most people are pessimistic but they've done a good job with the BoSox so let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 All completed now. Can't be any worse It's not a leveraged buyout unlike Hicks and Gillett's and the Glazer's for that matter. NESV have paid for the deal with their own money. That means that the £240M debt has been paid off and the £770,000 weekly interest to the bank goes as well. Like most, I will treat them with caution at first though. Oh aye, Hicks loses. Edit :- By the way, I wouldn't even wish a week to anyone, even United supporters. That was fucking torture.

Adam Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Watching the interview just now. It was never about getting the right buyer for the club, it was about getting the most money. If he cares so much (or if he ever cared about the club) why is he suing for around £1 billion? Baffling, pure baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supras Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 They need to get rid of Hogdson, he is way out of his depth. It's surprising that two excellent businessmen like Hicks and Gillett have managed to f**k this up so much, massively out of pocket and everyone hates them. Poor show.

Supras Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Not £250M. Not even $250M. I hope SSN have an apology ready soon. To be fair, it isn't quite that simple. When a club is reported to be paying 10 million that all doesn't go to the other club. Once you take off agents fees, the cut the player takes, legal costs and then taxes you'll probably be looking at only 7-8 million. And that is without going into the mire of 'clauses' and 'add ons'. But yeah, still not near £250m. I'm not surprised he is making a big fuss over this, everyone already hates him so it's not as if he cares about public opinion, he just wants to recoup his losses/make some more money.

You said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This counts as a spade in the ground, hopefully. George Gillett is still my friend after shaking my hand back then, albeit not as good a friend as he used to be. Tom Hicks - Blow me fuckface!
