KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Meeting with Tom Hicks

guys i had meeting with Tom Hicks 3 weeks ago in Kuwait, we discussed his Texas business fund.. anyway i asked him about whats goin on with Liverpool lately and he told me they are in good position after agreeing with RBS to refinance their lone and i asked him how did you get their approval ? and he told me that him and gillete are planning to make a capital increase in the club worth 100 million GBB... so i was confused how you gonna pay for this capital increase and he told me they both aint paying anything and they will make this capital increase as new shares and sell them to public.. i was worry about this money where it will go and as i expected they will pay all of it to RBS to refinance their lones !! i told him you should at lease put 50 Million for transfer funds.. he didnt like the idea.. and he told me that they got a very very huge offer for Torres from Man City but they were scared to accept it that Liverpool fans will fly to texas to kill both owners... i was super mad and i told him you bought one of the greatest clubs in the world history so you really need to improve the team for the club fans they are tired of waiting for their beloved title.. and he told me liverpool club is an investment so to add transfer funds we have to sell players..
you will guys hear about this 100 Million increase very soon and i hope it will be a failure so the bank takes over the club and sell it to other investors...

Thanks for update.
I think we knew that they bought the club as an investment.

But hang on, give them some credit. They have not hidden away, they have faced alot of stick from all of us, and credit to them for sticking in there.

Glen Johnson a very good signing, delighted to have the lad. If we sign one more big player, I would be very happy, regardless of other teams, as I believe we are a settled side! Unlike Manchester united (Due to Tevez & Ronaldo going), unlike Manchester City (With the amount of players bought), Unlike Arsenal, and because of Hiddink going, chelsea are back to square one AGAIN.

The two biggest signings of this season will be to keep Mascherano and Alonso. We keep this two, we have a massive chance. But like Dunk says, if they want to go, let them.

I trust Rafa, and Im sure these will both stay.

One more thing to add. Rafa has stated he can buy one more without selling. So before we judge our owners, we need to look at the facts. No big players have left our club.

We have bought in Glen Johnson, who will be a fantastic signing.
a signing we have wanting for years, an attacking fullback.

As far as im concerned, we are going in the right direction.

I will question if we do not make big signings, if we sell Xabi and Masch but otherwise happy days. NO NEED TO PANIC. One problem liverpool fans have, why look at other clubs and their signings, concentrate on LIVERPOOL & LIVERPOOL only.

Tell me, why would Hicks meet with an illiterate no mark ?

more to the point why have you waited 3 weeks before telling us when you are a regular user of this forum??

And I also think this is rubbish because clearly Rafa would not sign a new contract unless money was offered to strengthen the squad. Im not shooting the messenger here, just an opinion, appreciate any news for our club.

Just need to be patient. We will announce our new signing within the next 2 weeks :P

Before the credit crunch RBS made billions because they are clever. I work in a bank & trust me RBS know what the yanks have got moneywise. The don't renegotiate loans like you have explained as the FSA would fine them heavily, and now with the taxpayers & media watching they wouldn't dare do anything out of order.

DjiNN..

You met Hicks? in Kuwait?

you must be a "falcon" .. if you know what i mean

DjiNN, you are full of brown stuff! As Stuey said, why would Hicks meet with someone who spells loan as "lone"? You are a bluffer. It is true that LFC are planning a floatation but I doubt it was Hicks himself that told you.
Lets wait and see what signings come in to LFC this summer before we criticise H&G anymore.

Here is the link to show floatation is in the pipeline.
