Hicks and Gillett OUT NOT leaflet
Tom Hicks and George Gillett, the two men who took ownership of the club back in February 2007, have brought nothing to Liverpool Football Club apart from debt, broken promises, and constant speculation as to the future of the club. The owners continually show a lack of understanding about running a football club and what supporting the club, the team and the manager means to millions of fans throughout the world.
Do we as fans want to see the club standing still, or even worse, being left behind, as other clubs spend millions on players to bolster their squads? Do we want a situation where the main financial priorities each summer are debt and more debt, rather than transfers and contracts? If the answer is no, then it’s time to say no. Time to say no to Hicks and Gillett. Time to stand up for yourself. Time to bring about change. David Moores and Rick Parry didn’t want to do it. But we can. And we will.
Below is a link to the leaflets handed out around Anfield, please print the leaflet and display it in any place you feel necessary, e.g. car windows, house windows etc.
Hicks and Gillett – OUT NOW!

Meeting with IFR
Understanding ODSE test FOLLOWING the recent announcement of a minority investment in Liverpool FC by 1892 Holdings, Spirit of Shankly contacted the Football Supporters Association (FSA) to facilitate a meeting with the Independent Football Regulator (IFR). As the recognised supporters' trust, we support the introduction of the IFR in the belief that football needs strong governance to protect clubs. Earlier this week, SOS (and the FSA) met with the IFR to better understand the process involved in any potential owners of football clubs: the Owners, Directors, Senior Executives (ODSE) test. As Liverpool supporters, we know [...]
