RedManFusco (U11975407) posted Jun 22, 2008 As time goes on Gillett and Hicks are learning and realising more and more what the club means to the fans. LFC is nothing like any American sports 'franchise' or English Premier League team for that matter. A sure sign that their level of unpopularity has brought about an indication that they are attempting to patch-up their difficult relationship.

BeLogical (U9718485) posted Jun 22, 2008 What happened to liverpool's tradition of keeping anything to do with the runnin out of the press - these 2 idiots are like school girls - one minute they hate each other, the other they are best friends. This 'business' dispute is bad for the club. I used to say Liverpool is a football team, Man U is a business scheme - now its the other way round - Get DIC in - they will certainly not air dirty laundry in public!

davenorm (U4769273) posted Jun 23, 2008 they've probably woken up to the fact that their infighting is only hurting their business aspirations - when they fall out, the whole club gets fed up and the only logical outcome of that is that the top players/coaches will ultimately get tempted to leave for a better job somewhere else - and noone will want to replace them...

misterfixture (U11884988) posted Jun 23, 2008 i don't think these two realize the importance of football in england, they seem to feel that it's just an investment like so many sport franchises in america.

Washyubeauty (U12452620) posted Jun 24, 2008 I think everyone gets a bit carried away when things aren't going too well on the pitch. These two haven't conducted their affairs too well (i.e. they've gone public with some ridiculous comments and strategies) but they want to make money out of the club and in doing so will no doub5t want success. I think Liverpool fans need to be more patient as Man U and Chelsea are still streets ahead but probably not as far ahead as was the case a few seasons ago. Comment on this article |
