DEBT ON THE CLUB
“This is not a takeover like the Glazer deal at Manchester United. There is no debt involved,
and we believe that as custodians of this wonderful, storied club we have a duty of care to
the tradition and legacies of Liverpool.” Tom Hicks February 2007( Fake Promise )
the result is: The most recent reports suggest the overall debt due from the Club and its
holding companies is £410million
STADIUM
“The shovel needs to be in the ground in the next 60 days or so, and we would intend to
follow that. I think you’ll see the beginnings of a great big swimming pool being dug out
here in Stanley Park relatively soon”. George Gillett February 2007 (Fake Promise)
The Result is: Two and a half years later there is no swimming pool, let alone a stadium
MAKING THE ROLE OF MANAGER UNTENABLE
I asked why they had approached Klinsmann, because his pedigree was not one that
immediately made fans sit up and take note. He claimed Klinsmann had a brilliant track
record, and he had excellent marketing talent, having close links with those at Adidas, Nike
and Reebok. George Gillettʼs justification for approaching Jurgen Klinsmann, January 2009 (Fake Promise)
The Result Is: News of the approach to Klinsmann was released at a crucial time in the 07/08 season and
had an effect on Rafa and team performances on the pitch
HICKS AND GILLETT EXPENSE CLAIMS
Tom Hicks has claimed £523,000 in expenses, for third party consulting, travel and other expenses
and transaction-related expenses. George Gillett has claimed £1.327 million in expenses, for
reimbursable travel, legal, personnel and other expenses and transaction-related expenses.
The result Is:LFC fans find themselves supporting Gillett and Hicks expensive lifestyles.
