Hicks - "We are better now than under Moores"

Tom Hicks has responded to criticism from former chairman by David Moores and promises that a new stadium will be built when new owners are found. "I think we've done everything we can to improve the club in so many ways in the past three years from the way it had been run before," he said. "I think we have a great management team now led by Christian Purslow, the commercial director Ian Ayre has done a great job and we have a strong financial director in Philip Nash, we've grown our sponsorships from £40m to £100m so all those sponsorship revenues are extra resources for the club to use to support the wage bill and be competitive. "Since Moores ownership in the last three years including this summer we will have doubled both gross and net spending on players. "We have tried to make Liverpool as professional as possible and a world leader. The new stadium is fully designed now and the club financing markets are back so with a change of ownership coming we will be able to have a new stadium built for Liverpool and we have a great board now."

We might have increased spending you tw*t but that is down to to selling players not you providing transfer funds you muppet.

He said that there's been 'a lot of media manipulation and misinformation put out'.

Yeah right! All by you and Purslow you pair of fuckers!

Hicks - Top talent will stay

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks insists the club will not be selling the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres this summer.

A disappointing showing in the 2009/10 campaign has left the red half of Merseyside fuming, with many feeling the current American owners have failed to back manager Rafa Benitez in the transfer market.

Spiralling debts have also caused concern, with it suggested that sales may be necessary this year to help balance the books.

Amid mounting criticism, Hicks and business partner George Gillett have put the club up for sale, with former owner David Moores calling for the pair to sell up quickly on Wednesday.

Hicks, though, is adamant that Liverpool are in better financial health than is often reported and claims there is no chance of them offloading their star men over the coming months.

"We have no intention of selling any of our top players," he told Sky Sports News.

"We have a substantial transfer budget in place. There is so much misinformation about transfer spending - it has more then doubled under the ownership of George and myself over the past three years.

"We will make a considerable investment this summer, but it is really about getting the right players."
Better off

Hicks has also responded to the calls for a sale to be pushed through by revealing that he expects a takeover to be completed by the end of 2010.

He claims there is no rush for a deal to be put in place, though, with it imperative that Liverpool find the right buyer to help take the club forward.

"We will sell the club but it is about selling to the right group, at the right price, at the right time and in the right way," said Hicks.

"We will do it in a thoughtful way and try to find the right man for Liverpool Football Club. We hope it will be done by the end of the calendar year, but I don't anticipate that it would be before the start of the next season.

"I think between £600-800million is a realistic value range, but the market is the market. We are more concerned about finding the right next owner, someone who can make the investment in the club, get the stadium built and let Liverpool Football Club be the best club in the world.

"The stadium is fully designed now and the financing markets are backed, so the change of ownership will be able to have the stadium built."

He added: "There has been so much misinformation put out by people who have their own agendas and it's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is. The truth is that the club is a lot better off than it was three years ago.

"We are all disappointed with where we finished this year, but people forget we almost won the Premier League last year.

"We had injuries and we had players who performed below their level of expectation. Hopefully we will get that fixed in time for the new season."

Just heard the worst businessman in history telling ssn that Liverpool Football Club is in great shape and a whole lot better than when David Moores left the club , I can't believe the front of this man , he boes on about the income being generated by the marketing people as being 60m more per year than the previous regime what he never said is that most of it is going to pay the debt which him and and his little sidekick placed on the club . Unbelievable

HAHA you F***ing tw*t we didn't have the level of debt we have now.

F**k off. They say that Italy is all about mafia (with respect) & I think this f***in guy has some Italian roots.

Hicks is so full of it there's no way he can believe the bullshit he is spouting , it is of course intended to placate his debtors and take some pressure off him but he's fighting a loosing battle.

F**K OFF Hicks.

In terms of income, we are better off.

Unfortunately, our debts are so excessive that these incoming funds are solely used to fund the debts and therefore, on a whole scale, we are worse off under the Yanks than Moores.

In a way he's right, but he's looking at it from an angle that implies we are ignorant and deluded.

Tom, F**k off.

"The stadium is fully designed now and the financing markets are backed, so the change of ownership will be able to have the stadium built."

Which is basically saying, you have plans to build a stadium. But are we f*ck funding them.

"I think between £600-800million is a realistic value range, but the market is the market."

The market which has apparently stopped you building the stadium, but is good enough for you to over value the club by a good few hundred million?

F*ck off. You horrible specimen of f*cking waste.

Does Hicks not realise we dont give a flying f**k what he thinks. Piss of and die you club rapist!!

Our commercial revenue may be up but at this point in time the club is not feeling the benefit as it is being streamed out to you and your partner in crime. Shut your mouth and get out of our club

his valuation is still way off. I just hope the offer they would accept is few hundred million less.

"We have no intention of selling any of our top players," he told Sky Sports News.

Because he knows no one would buy the club then!!

"I think between £600-800million is a realistic value range"

The Lone Ranger wore a mask Tom perhaps you should.

Suck my pen15, Tom.

Ha! The cheek of it!

better off?? how much debt are we in thanks to you clowns!

Gotta love the spin.

The man is a genuine tw*t, simple as that...

This

"We have a substantial transfer budget in place. There is so much misinformation about transfer spending - it has more then doubled under the ownership of George and myself over the past three years.

is a F***ing lie.

As is most of the rest of it.

Liverpool's isn't in good financial health - it's in a shocking state.  Such a state that the clubs own accountants suggest that there are concerns over it's ability to remain a going concern.

Sick of reading or hearing their utter bullshit.

What an utter c**t that c**t is.

Hope the two of them rot.

Every word that comes out his mouth is total bullshit , when he drones on and on I get the feeling he thinks he can pull the wool over our eyes and lie after lie that he's give us in the past has been forgotten , it just goes to show what an arrogant pr**k he is .

sounds like he has done a fantastic job improving lfc over the last few years
can't understand why we all think he and his fat mate are both lying scumbag cheating no good pieces of sh*t pair of c*nts that we wouldn't piss on if they were on fire!
F*ck off both of you and go back to the hole that you crawled out of you worthless pair of tw*ts and if you want help getting on the plane after you've finally sold up i will gladly kick you up the steps

The worst thing he said was he thinks it will take till christmas to sell the club.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that comment.

This guy is one funny b***ard!!

Now F***ing leave!

Trophies says otherwise you fat yank c**t!!

F**k OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get out of our club....you lying bas**rds!!!

As my six year old daughter is fond of singing
"George and Tom tell lies".

I can't even be bothered to read any of the crap being spouted any more

If you believe this c**t then you should join them...

Can't wait for these kunts to F**k off once and for all

Oh of course Tom, because we are making more money then we are better off. How could I be so silly

What about the 40m going out JUST to service the debt you f**king dumb cowboy cocksuckibg f**king c**t?!? F**k you ya dumb f**king sh*t, you can't fool us with a smile and a f**king "everythings okay!" speech!

We know the score you asshole, and the score reads that you are f**king our club royally and killing it. So do us a favor and shove a 12-gauge up your arse and pull the f**king trigger. The world, and my team Liverpool Football CLUB, not franchise - will be better of.

F**k these cu*ts make me angry!

Seriously, where does this guy get it from?

The man's a liar and a f*cking gobsh*te.Over the last 3 and a bit years our Club's integrety has been affected by his actions,and the tw*t is still holding out for a share of the new stadium build profits,delaying the completion of the takeover.For God's sake,get out of our club now.

WE??

Don't put us and you together mate.

YOU are in a better financial position now. WE are in the worst position that we've been in for quite some time.

Self delusion of the highest order. Grade A c**t.

Feel sick and angry reading that load of tripe.

Surely you meant you and George are better now than three years ago.

We are deeper in debt.
We had our worst finish in 11 years.
In Benitez's first three seasons, we reached three Cup Finals, BEFORE you came.

How has your ownership improved us?

Oh, and isn't our stadium 2 years overdue?

Surely you meant you and George are better now than three years ago.

Well, if you count the commercial side and how that has moved forwards, along with the new sponsorship deals, then it could be argued that he has a point, in a business sense.

Personally, I think he's full of sh*t, but there are people who argue that we are a better commercial prospect than we were - but I think that was largely down to Parry being an incompetent fukwit, and now we have someone decent in charge of the commercial side, things have fallen into place.

I think Limp Biscuit said it best when they uttered the immortal words. . . . Give me something to break. . . How about you f@cking face!

Hicks just don't get it, you can build up the sponsorship and treble it but what good is it when it do not get spent on the one part that really matters to the supporters, he can claim we look good and our new kit is a wonder to behold but what good is it when you have no new players to wear it, so do us all a favour for the good of everything that's good for Liverpool go and go now.

c**t.

"I think between £600-800million is a realistic value range, but the market is the market.

You are seriously on f***ing drugs mate.

You are completely out of your f***ing tree.

Even RBS puts £400 max on the clubs value.

While you are in f***ing fantasy land with your price there are no buyers.

So while you wait for a tomorrow that will never come this club suffers more and more.

You are a lowlife piece of sh*t whose complete incompetence should be made known much much further afield than just Liverpool and Dallas.


If you bring this domino down I f***ing promise you I will personally for the sake of my children's legacy and my life's support for this club
bring all your dominos down by a media storm on your businesses you cant even F***ing imagine Hicks. Single handed.

and that my friend is a F***ing promise.

Sell up and F**k off!

I can't believe the hide of this pr**k , he is seriously deluded .

Horrible lying c**t!

The rumour,around Anfield(which I can't disclose,because someone's job is on the line),is that a deal is done for the sale of the club,but Hicks want's his Construction company to build the new stadium.Quite rightly,they have told him to f*ck off.So now again,we enter another poker situation,but rest assured,QIA will prevail.

I'd hate to think what would happen to either of these cowboys if any of you lot got hold of em

a deal is done for the sale of the club

...AND THEN I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.

Not even worth replying to such a ridiculous qoute

They sre a bunch of cu*ts

The new stadium is fully designed now and the club financing markets are back so with a change of ownership coming we will be able to have a new stadium built for Liverpool

I have plans to build a 7 bedroom house, own a Range Rover Sport and become the first man to visit Mars, doesnt mean i have the funds to do it.

What he said.

Hicks is an unbelievably arrogant man and as we all know arrogance is a more contrived form of stupidity - which makes his behaviour more understandable.
He is the only one who apparently believes the bullshit he gives out,

Never a truer word said Stuey mate

Sales man big upping his product ......... snake oil sales man !

Can someone just take this c**t out please.

Complete bunch of wankers

How much sh*te is this cowboy gonna utter?  I cant even bear to listen to his voice on TV, they both make me so angry, thank God for the mute button.

As stated before, I think the more he talks the more he actually believes what he's saying.

How can someone be so short-sighted and not realise the mess he's gotten us into?

Can't wait for the day these 2 F**k right off, party-time like you've never seen before. 

Once they leave, I will be taking a week off work and getting completly of my face.  I think once we are bought over, every Liverpool fan should take a day off and condragate in Liverpool for the biggest party the world has ever seen.

COME ON YOU YANK F***ing cu*ts  LEAVE NOW!!!!

I'm in Euro mate.  I'm totally and utterly sick of this pr**k spouting s**te from that sewer of a mouth of his.

It's time he got a taste of his own medicine, see how he likes having his "good" name dragged through the mud and made a laughing stock.  If he can away with telling lies without a slander claim going to court can't we do the same.  I'm sure there must be some sort of skeletons from his past we can "elaborate" on.

Just a thought.  If there is no buyer at the moment but he said the club will be sold by the end of the year - how does he know it will?  Only conclusion I can come to is that's when the latest RBS financing deal runs out, so basically that means administration or worse still liquidation.

Reading between the lines then, his quote of "we won't be selling our star players in the summer" means they will be sold in January when the bank forecloses on the loans.  Is he really that stupid to have his "prized asset" taken away from him and not make any money out of it?

Whatever happened to 'spade in the ground in 60 days'? Now they're admitting that the new stadium to be built will be left in the hands of the new owners.

To trust he would come out with more bullshit from his mouth, no one will believe him any longer, just take the money and F**k off, he has no credibility whatsoever. Was this a thinly veiled attack at David Moores on his letter? I don't know whether it's coincidental but from the looks of it I think Hicks is saying all this load of F***ing rubbish in response to Moores.

What a thick-skinned w**ker. I can't wait for the day the two of you get out, it would be better than winning the EPL if we get the right owners!!

Sorry Hicks, we live in the real world where all we see is our great club is fu**ed at the moment because of you two dickheads and youre making out were in better shape? All i hear is a money grabbing c**t and nothing but.
GET OUT OF OUR CLUB NOW!

He's already made his money, he's made a few million and just wants more, besides it works in his favour if the bank foreclose. The debt owed to his company still exists whatever, if the bank sell all our players to repay thier debt whoever buys the club has to pay off less of the debt owed to the banks and Hicks can blame the Banks. Whoever buys it will still have to pay the £144 million owed to hicks cayman island venture. Hicks said we would have a spade in the ground in 60 days and massive investment in players this summer.

He is just a lying toe rag.

Thanks Debs.
Thing is that its not a rant.
I mean it.
Ill even Obama him.

All Im waiting on is this alleged "Big Summer".
If its more sh*te then I promise no one will touch Hicks or his family ever again.

I have plans to build a 7 bedroom house, own a Range Rover Sport and become the first man to visit Mars, doesnt mean I have the funds to do it.

I know you're serious mate and so am I.  I've had enough of him thinking he's untouchable and taking the moral high ground.  He's a sly f**ker and a bullet between the eyes is too quick for him, he needs to suffer like we have and then some.

Can someone fit this tw@t with a concrete overcoat and dump him with the fishes. I mean sold by end of the year-ha bollocks, just sell up you c*nt. A leech of the worst kind.

I really dont know how he's managed to escape some sort of assault at least. Seriously.  Tempers are really frayed in Liverpool at the minute, loads of angry fans, left right and centre.  Its a wonder he can sleep safely in his bed a night.

I can imagine there are Vicky and I can imagine what his security is like.

When they were at the Bolton game, my missus, myself and her son went to the protest after the game and stood there for well over an hour in thre freezing cold waiting for the cu*ts to come out.  In the end they had to sneak out of the Kop, how demoralising that must of been.  He must of been shitting himself though to of done that.  God knows what would of happened if he had come out.  Even when we do get sold, i am sure the stupid tw*ts will come back to Liverpool, especially once we get a new stadium.  They will want to be there for the grand opening. 

I sit here in total and utter disbelief at all the sh*te spouted by this American b***ard and just keep asking myself how the F**k did this happen to the worlds greatest football club?
