As part of the ongoing campaign to ensure that Tom Hicks and George Gillett are made not welcome at Anfield, we would like to urge our members, and Liverpool fans, to keep in mind the need for a visual message of what we as fans want - Hicks and Gillett out.
Press report
The Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool Supporters' Union, have been made aware of reports in today's Daily Mail of a proposed joint initiative between fans of Liverpool FC and Manchester United and "that talks between key fan groups from each side of the great divide have already taken place."
Tom Hicks – Everton
The Spirit of Shankly Management Committee have been asked by members about any planned protests for the match against Everton tomorrow.

SOS helping Liverpool school celebrate Award
On Friday 16th October, New Park Primary School in Kensington was awarded the International School Award by the British Council. The award recognises how the school has gone about bringing the wider world into the schoolroom.
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.
