Tom and George – You’re not welcome here

Tom Hicks and George Gillett are, according to our sources, planning to attend this Sunday’s game against Manchester United at Anfield. Being the massive football (soccer?) fans that they are, they couldn’t afford to miss a big game such as this. They don’t have to afford the trip, as no doubt a claim for expenses will soon be submitted to LFC for the cost of their stay. This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss.

Whilst their arrival will no doubt bring with it fresh speculation, about rifts and friendships, sales and investment, we have to make ourselves heard. We have to tell them, and the watching world, that quite simply, they aren’t welcome here. Broken promise after broken promise, lie after lie, has become too much for fans to accept from these “custodians” who, quite frankly, don’t know the meaning of the word. It’s time for Tom Hicks and George Gillett to get the message, sell the club (all of it) and leave, allowing us to finally move forward from this sorry mess.

We urge everyone who cares about Liverpool Football Club, whether going to the match or not, to make their voices heard. Firstly, tell Tom Hicks yourself. Email him at [email protected] telling him why he’s not welcome here. If you need some pointers on what to say, this is what Spirit Of Shankly has sent to them:

Dear Tom/George

You’ve been at our club for over two and a half years now. And in that time what have you achieved? Very little, other than a lot of hatred from fans, and a number of all expenses paid trips to Liverpool to watch that strange game called soccer. Please excuse the tone, but to be honest, it has gone past the point of us fans really caring what you think anymore.

All we care about is our football club, our history and traditions, and our future. To us, you play no part in that future especially not if we want to be successful and keep moving forward. You will leave a black mark on the history of our football club. You have dragged us back, and this season, you have made us stand still, whilst other clubs move forward. The broken promises and repeated lies have caused anger, and there is nothing you can do to change that. You can claim all you like that the media make things up, but they didn’t make the debt up, they didn’t say they would put a spade in the ground in 60 days, and they didn’t say that they would back the manager. You did. The pair of you don’t get on, and you can’t even lie without contradicting yourselves.

So do one thing for us fans. Leave. Sell the club, clear the debt, take the profit and go away. Because you, or your fellow ‘custodian’ are not welcome here anymore!

Spirit Of Shankly

There will be a march taking place prior to Sunday’s game. Meeting on Sunday at Noon outside the LFC Supporters Club on Lower Breck Road, it is a perfect opportunity for all of us, to stand as one, and speak as one, with one clear message – Tom and George, You’re Not Welcome Here!
