KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Want rid of Hicks/Gillett ? This is how !!!!!!!

It is with great sadness that I am writing this topic, but I have found myself feeling as low as I have ever felt supporting our truly great football club.
We all know what these two people have done by using our club as the very tool in which to take over and make as much profit out of it as possible. We also know that they are not interested in LFC, but are very interested in MONEY. This should come as no surprise as they are businessmen and not even LFC fans. This is the very sad reality of our situation and although Rafa is not blame exempt, he has had to work to ridiculous financial constraints for the last 4 windows.
In the last 2 windows i think Man. City have spent over 200m on improving their squad, so why do we feel we should finish above them in the league?
These two people clearly haven't got a pot to p**s in and have taken the p**s out of everyone connected with the club for far too long.Something DRASTIC has to be done because waving a banner with 'thanks but no yanks' is not going to make them sit up and think 'they don't like us, we better sell our controlling stakes and fly back to America'
What will make them sit up is a dramatic loss of revenue. Money is the only thing they understand and so its time sadly to hit them hard in the pocket, and I think you know what I'm about to suggest.
For the penultimate home game of the season (West Ham 8pm on ESPN) I feel that all fans should boycott the game. I would of suggested the last home game but thats against Chelski and I think the team will need us much more for that one. I know this may not agree with a fair number of people and to tell you the truth, I don't agree with it either but what else is there really to do in order to make the sh*t hit the fan in the board rooms of LFC and RBS.
I'm not sure what the match day revenue is, but I bet they do !!!!!
The fans stance would get global exposure, all be it ESPN and especially in USA which would be very embarrassing for those two businessmen with ego's as big as their lies.
So thats the only way in my opinion,that we can stop the terrible cancer in our wonderful football club, before it becomes terminal.
On this occasion, for the good of the football club,it has to walk alone.

It is impossible to organise and it will never happen although I agree with your sentiments and it would send a powerfull message.

In respect of the match revenue most of it is prepaid season tickets and most other matchday tickets (particularly for club such as Chelsea) as sold months in advance. Also would away fans boycott?

Good idea but impractical.

This suggestion has been brought up before - a very practical and powerful message, but I agree it would be difficult to organise.

As Stan mentions the club are already in receipt of ticket sales from months before, so whether the fans turn up or not I do not think H&J will care.

However, if you remember back and have ever witnessed the mass walkouts at 5 minutes towards the end if our team is playing sh*te, on tv or in the stands, that message is powerful enough and it gets as much coverage in the global media then a boycot would.

Perhaps a mass walk out at Half Time?? 1st half sing the anti yank anthems, fly our anti yank flags for the full 45 minutes and then say bye bye. It will be televised, and so would the reason behind the walkout.

But again, who'll be first to turn their back and walkout, and will the rest follow?

Failing that, a boycot on all new jerseys and merchandise next season....again, this will be difficult to organise

sissowler..... growler..... same picture..... coincidence? that you growls?

not sure if a boucott would work of would be the right thing to do, the team need support
but something needs to be done to get the yanks out, maybe boycotts club merchandise and on match day boycott programmes,

ive said it before, and ill say it again, 90 minutes of "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

that BOO message of yours flamey would be more directed at the players then Hicks and Gillet...although some players deserve that treatment!

not if it was done with something visual. a few banners or something along the lines of waving a distinct colour flag like the manks do but booooo while doing it.

or just boooo the fckin lot of them, the players will understand. most of them deserve to be tarred and feathered.

Coincidence Flamey'

Even his name isn't a million miles away from mine. P'raps he's a secret admirer like?

I thought I'd been typing in me sleep when I first saw the post!!

Boycott of a game would be really good, but how do you convince 40,000 other fans to stay away?
Would take some organising. Picket line at the turnstiles p'raps?

I like the idea of a mass walkout 15 mins before the end. That would be possible to organise with leaflets etc at he ground. The Kop is more easy to organise so once they went the rest would follow. I sit in centenary stand and a lot go awayway there 10 minutes before end whats another five.
