Tom Hicks Jnr resigns after his foul-mouthed outburst
Liverpool have announced that Tom Hicks Jnr has resigned from the Liverpool FC board and the board of parent company Kop Holdings.
Over the weekend details were revealed of an email conversation between Liverpool fan Stephen Horner and Tom Hicks’ son.
In the emails, the Liverpool supporter expressed concern over the fact that the clubs owners had failed to invest in new player investment in the last 2 years. He also expressed his disgust at Liverpool’s enormous debt mountain that is currently costing the club around £30M a year in interest payments.
Tom Hicks Jnr replied with:
“Blow me, f**kface. Go to hell, I’m sick of you.”
However, the club’s American owners have merely given another of Hicks’ allies a place on the board.
“Liverpool Football Clubtoday announce that Thomas Hicks Jr has resigned as a director of both the club and its parent company Kop Holdings.
“Three new directors have been elected to the boards of both companies. These are Philip Nash, LFC chief financial officer; Ian Ayre, LFC commercial director; and Casey Coffman, executive vice president of Hicks Holdings.”
It continues to be clear that the Hicks’ family are continuing to fail in their obligation to be custodians for Liverpool Football Club. A club that has always been proud of the relationship between the club and the supporters.
As Liverpool struggle on with no player investment and continue to suffer a huge financial burden the message remains that we still want Hicks and Gillett out.
