Gillett to attend - reds to protest

George Gillett is expected to attend tomorrow’s Anfield clash against Manchester United.

by Anfield Online | Friday 12th September 2008

George Gillett has planned to attend tomorrow’s clash against Manchester United, as Tom Hicks once again elects to avoid visiting the club.

However we understand that club chairman Rick Parry has asked the co-chairman (who effectively kept him in a job this spring) to reconsider his decision.

Liverpool fans will be holding a protest march before the game from 11am from the Liverpool Supporters Club in protest at both the American’s horrific track record, and reneged promises since taking over the club.

George Gillett has been a long absent visitor from Anfield, and towards the end of last season was suggesting he would never sell his stake to Tom Hicks in support of the overwhelming opinion of Liverpool supporters. However, it is believed the pair have now forged a closer relationship once again.

It was Gillett who was first interested in taking over the club, bringing Hicks along with him to add some financial firepower.

However this financial firepower has been the ballistics equivalent of a water pistol, and not only are our plans for stadium development being put on hold, but both owners have landed the reds under an enormous financial cloud of debt.

If you’ve got the bottle to attend the club you’re ruining, enjoy the game tomorrow George. Make sure it’s the last either of you ever attend.

Let’s face it. The American dollars are weak. Buying Liverpool last year was nothing more than a business strategy for them. During these hard times, the only people making money are from the middle east.

Hence the need to buy liverpool and sell to DIC with a hefty profit(at the right time) during these difficult period.

The question is… Does Parry and Moores get some share in the profits? If not - WHY sell to the AMERICANS?

Come on you silly scousers, your club has been sh*t for the last 18 years. Don’t blame the Americans for failing to stop the downward spiral you created for yourselves.

its just shows,that the thick skin’d american,is soooooooo far “out of touch” with the fans,that when he turns up for the game,hes in for one hell of a shock!!!
he (and is “buddy”) aint wanted by the fans,or (by wot carras written)the players.with a game as big as utd nxt,you would think someone would have “advised” him to stay away,let the fans get behind the players,and sort out utd,not focus on protests against the owners.the utd fans,players and fergie will just love it !!!!

The fans have to make Gillett feel as uncomfortable as possible BUT ONLY AT THE RIGHT TIMES. They must get behind the team before and during the game. At half time, give this guy hell. The Mancs would love it if the focus is switched to THIS LYING YANK. Come on Gillett and Hicks - do the right thing and sell up and stop playing with OUR club.
