Hollywood director Mike Jeffries making anti Hicks and Gillette video shot in L4

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.

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 A-listers to join battle for Liverpool

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.

Getting interesting this. Will look forward to the Release. A little late IMO, but maybe to coinside with the defaulting off the loan?

But I am really looking forward to Samuel L. Jackson saying, "Get out of MY CLUB Mother F###er!"

Read Hollywood producer's open letter to Tom Hicks

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, Jürgen Klinsman.

•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 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 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!!!

Yet another post by David Maddock. If anyone is not following his stories, they seem to be for US and not them.

Sounds good to me ! the more people who get to see and hear what these two vermin have done to our club the better !

Beat me to it corballyred!

But mine looks better

If true would be awesome to get some big stars fighting by our side ,only by togetherness will the cu*ts be defeated ,we could surely do with the tide turning our way.

A lot better than mine Redpuppy.

I can just picture Samuel L Jackson chanting "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes in my motherfucking club!"

Ha ha super idea.Pity we have no big screen in Anfield,play it trough the p.a system create a little sh*t among the board.

I can just picture Samuel L Jackson chanting "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes in my motherfucking club!"

Beat me to it

Great Idea though, would be better though if all these stars formed a consortium and bought us out and rid us of these bas**rds onvce and for all.

Good idea, but I hate it personally. Another reminder of how much our club has become a circus.

It is about educating America though and they love there Hollywood actors, would love if Daniel Craig, Samuel Jackson, Liam Neelson and Mike Myers got involved.

 Would give it massive exposure in the States. The aim is to embarass him there hopefully it achieves that.

Could be true about Samuel L Jackson. He's in Manchester at the moment filming 'Captain America'.

And in Liverpool too. 

Ya Mike Jefferies is well respected in the states he is behind Bourne Supermacy, the more A-List they are the more the States will sit up and take notice, it is about embarrasing Hicks in America, he doesn't give a sh*t what happens in England.

And in Liverpool too. 

Are they filming in Liverpool too?

I saw the set in the Northern Quarter in Manchester today.

Yeah they have been mate. On the dock road. I took a pic of the set in manc the other week by the way when I was there on training - I'll post it in the Arkles.

Anyway. I wonder what our queuepolitely thinks of all this?

Pick me ...Pick Me... Pick Me.

OK .  Do it your way. Ricky Tomlinson.

Was thinking that myself mate.

Personally I love it! It doesn't get bigger than Hollywood, and if some big names are involved, then it's going to do a hell of alot more than a sit in protest in raising awareness and shifting Hicks out.

Will be checking this out upon it's completion and posting it over Facebook etc!

With any luck those 2 scumballs Hicks and Gilette might see a fall from (ahem) "grace" like Gerald Ratner. The difference is that Ratner told the truth. THose 2 aren't able to tell anything but lies.

Terrific that MJ and co are getting involved. I just we can keep the momentum and get full fan ownership. It would be a shame to come so far, then go backwards into the grip of some lying egotistical tw*ts that Turdslow manages to strike a deal with.

I'd like to see Woy Poodle tell Samuel L J that protests arent' helpful !!hehehe!

Groovy baby yeh.

Would love to hear Samuel L say to Hicks..." The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides......

This would be fantastic if it all works out..
