		<description>Thanks to everyone who gets this evidence against the evil Hicks. This situation is obviously very serious and goes way beyond anything seen at any other club, only Leeds spring to mind except that was done becauseRidsdale was a fan and was desperate for success - if a little naive, this monster is raping our club and he must be stopped. I cant get to games but it is the duty of any supporter worthy of the name to stay behind after every game &amp; join the protests.             GET HIM OUT!</description>

		<description>Midlands-red. agree and if he were to get 100% control the next refinancing deal will be on his terms ie no personal guarantees. The club will be exposed like never before.</description>

		<description>Hicks: More Misery Looms

Reading the US press tells you that Hicks is on a mission to secure a long term and 100% interest in the club. How my heart sank.

Who would have thought that the secondary partner in their Liverpool deal would have gazumped Gillett, the one who was rabid for a UK footballing interest - Liverpool, Aston Villa etc!

This story - click on the link below - explains why Parry is still lauding his boss - the Hick man - saying how committed they are to the club by their signing of Mascherano!

Hicks is clearly showing a total disregard for the club and the fans. It is all about money with him that he is now looking at raising private equity to buy Gillett&#039;s stake.

I hope, and expect, the call on his resources and the state of the global financial market makes this an unrealistic option. But it shows that Hicks is certainly talking serious about his long-term ownership of the club when he talks about &#039;fixing&#039; Gillett and DIC.

I guess we&#039;re now seeing the jigsaw puzzle fall into place:

He appoints a public relations company - known for handling financial cases.

He goes on radio talking about his love for Liverpool and &#039;Raffer&#039;

He drives Gillett underground

He puts his son into the fore

He lets it be known that he has first option/refusal on the Gillett shares. (Does anyone know/have an idea when this runs out? Otherwise it makes a liverpool supporters club buy-out without a practical and timely goal.)

And now - either - he&#039;s looking to take 100% control because he believes the new stadium will reap rewards other investors will be interested in OR he believes by taking this stance DIC will have to bid higher.

In either case it shows that Hicks is ruthless, is only concerned with his own financial interest (hence loading the club with the debt regardless of promises) and not at all concerned about the fans because we are now &#039;customers&#039;.

It&#039;s time to really ratchet up the campaign against Hicks - and not get sidetracked by the team on the pitch at the moment. (Yes, I know the toffees are on our tail but this is much bigger than one season&#039;s pride!)

Hicks must go. His finances have to be our target. We must get our club back.

		<description>Red Robbie. good link. reds fans quick to put the matter straight though, great read. It shows how little research is done by such commentators. The involvement of Kraft was widely discussed recently by reds fans after an interview in which Kraft didn&#039;t rule out an investment in the Premier League. Reds were almost overwhelmingly in Krafts favour which could easily have been established by a modicum of on-line research.</description>
