A little tale.......
Yesterday I was in the Malmaison in Liverpool meeting a friend, and gazing around there seemed to by a lot of Spanish and Americans about. Also mingling about were some quite evident security staff.
Low and behold the two American siting adjacent too me were Hick's Jr. & Gillette Jr. with two very affluent looking Spanish guys, deep in conversation.
When who worked through the doors but the whole of the Chelsea squad, and both Jr's didn't even look up, like they didn't know who they were?
About an hour later about 18 other Americans arrived in exec people carriers and they were all part of the Hick's / Gillett entourage, no wonder there expenses for last year to LFC were in excess of £2 million quid.
All the Chelsea squad disappear up to their respective rooms and who turns up but Big Tom himself (not three feet away from me) and joins the two boys. All were then deep in conversation.
The point of this story is, why the hell Parry and Moores couldn't see through Hick's when they first met him, because I could straight away.
He's just a money grabbin extremely wealth Texan, out to make as much profit as he can from this "franchise" and that fact is oozing from every pore in his body.
It's part of my job to evaluate people very quickly, why oh why couldn't Parry and Moores see what I could see, it beggars belief.
Anyway, two or three hours spent scrutinising the LFC senior management was most revealing.
