SOS helping Liverpool school celebrate Award

Overseas TV rights – Our view
We are surprised at the latest comments from Ian Ayre about how clubs share the revenue from the current Overseas TV Rights deal. It leads us to question whether Liverpool FC, and other clubs, intend to actively pursue negotiating their own TV rights or are asking for a greater share of the current deal.
George Gillett – We don’t believe you!
George Gillett. A billionaire (apparently). Fifty percent owner of Liverpool Football Club. A man who never has and never will understand what Liverpool Football Club is all about, no matter how much he has or hasn't got sitting in the bank.
Investment in LFC and new stadium
Tom Hicks and George Gillett have finally admitted what many of us have known for a while - they are looking for investment. Or more likely, the banks have instructed them to do so.
Direct action from Saturday
Spirit Of Shankly has a clear message for George Gillett and Tom Hicks - You're not welcome here. The sooner they get that message, the better, for LFC, its fans, and for the wider community.
George Gillett – You’re not welcome here!
George Gillett intends to visit Anfield tomorrow. His reasons behind coming are to talk to visitors about LFC branded academies across the Middle East and to talk about his 'beloved' NASCAR. An all expenses paid trip to Anfield is obviously the best way to do this.
LFC – The next Leeds?
Competing in the Champions League, reaching the semi-final stages. Doing well in the Premier League. An ownership of the football club, that has borrowed heavily against its success, reliant on its continued appearance in the lucrative Champions League and on money from ever-increasing television deals to service the debts.
