I have just penned this letter and sent it recorded delivery (adressee only) to Mr. Holiday at RBS, I don't expect for one moment to recieve a reply.
Sir
I feel compelled to write this letter to you out of the shear rage, that I and countless others Liverpool fans harbour for two of your business associates, namely Messrs Hicks and Gillett. The present two share holders and unworthy custodians of Liverpool Football Club.
Without your organisations active assistance and financial support these two flagrantly dishonest and corrupt individuals could not continue their unwelcome presence at our club. Their tenure cannot continue without RBS granting them an extension to their present loan facility, of this fact you are no doubt well aware.
The business case from RBS prospective is, as I see it quite simple. An extension period of six months to their present arrangement with you would generate upward of say ÂŁ16 million in revenue over the proposed period. This gain would then have to offset against the extremely hostile, negative and acrimonious perception towards your organisation, that would be generated by upwards of a million staunch and loyal Liverpool fans in this country. This is without even considering your profile with the millions of LFC supports throughout the rest of the world, heaping more controversy on your already weak and sullied public profile.
The cessation of the loan facilities with your bank in July would have the affect of cutting of their air supply and forcing them into immediate meaningful negotiation with the few remaining interested parties still out there. Thus forcing them to sell under what would undoubtedly be âfire saleâ conditions. Up until this point Mr. Hick has baited prospective buyers with totally unrealistic speculative valuations, and in his eyes you are now rewarding him for his shenanigans with further financial support. Now is the perfect time to force his hand, by coming out publicly and stating that a further extension to their existing loan will not be granted.
If after me stating my plea, you do decide to continue to support these two individuals, I for one will take every opportunity that is presented to me to âbad mouthâ your organisation in the most vitriolic fashion you can imagine.
Please take some time to research the sustained campaign that has been waged for the last two decades by LFC supporters and many other football fans against a certain âRed Topâ and its former Editor. Maybe then you will have some idea as to what lies ahead, and how our intended actions will impact on your retail banking division.
Mr. Holiday sir, maybe you donât, but then again maybe you do understand that supporting my beloved club is a way of life for me, and two previous generations of my family. For me to stand idly by whilst these two âchancerâsâ push our football club over the financial precipice and into a Leeds United type Armageddon is simply not an option, ably assisted of course by the financial muscle and business acumen of the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Yours faithfully
