A post by RTK for anyone attending tonight
Tonight, we all have a duty.
Do we sit back and accept the way our club is being run, dragged through the mud and splattered all over the front pages of every paper in the country? Do we ignore the LIES spouted by our new owners? Do we sit there in silence and shrug our shoulders at the way Liverpool Football Club's great name is being tarnished by liars like Tom Hicks and George Gillett?
They promised us they would never place the club into debt, and all finance would be secured against their personal assets, not the clubs. THEY LIED.
The promised they would back the manager in the transfer market, even buying him Snoogy Doogy if he wanted. We have spent the same as we do every year. THEY LIED.
They promised to build us the best football stadium in the world. THEY LIED.
Most of all, they promised to act as custodians, and respect the name of Liverpool Football Club, it's history, heritage and traditions. THEY LIED.
We're not happy to sit back and accept all that. We answer back. We make ourselves heard. We let them know exactly how we feel about the events of the past few months. About their failure to follow up the promises made with their PR spin last summer. It's time to ask them the question.
We're supposed to place our trust in the men who thought Klinsmann was qualified enough to take over the reigns at Anfield. A man with no club management experience. A man with no track record of success in management. And all this selected by 2 Americans who confessed themselves just over 6 months ago that they know very little about "soccer". That, as well as the above lies – are you happy for these men to continue running OUR club?
We urge everyone to make their feelings known tonight. And if the person next to you isn't, urge them to join you. We're all in this together. We fight for OUR club. They own the deeds, we own the spirit. You can buy one but not the other. Leave them in no doubt of our thoughts.
No matter where you are in the ground tonight, play your part.
Forget success. Forget the new ground. Forget the supposed Holy Grail of the 19th League title. This is about honour. It's about history, principles, tradition and soul. Liverpool F.C is one of the handful of sporting institutions left in the world that has any soul, and these two 'custodians' are nakedly and shamelessly trying to sell our soul down the Swanee. It's down to ourselves, the ordinary fans, to stand up and be counted tonight and send Hicks and Gillett a message that, even with their communication problems, they can't possibly mishear.
