Liverpool supporters in America call for owners to go
Liverpool’s New York Supporters Club have joined the calls for Tom Hicks and George Gillett to sell the club immediately, reports the Liverpool Echo.
LFCNY, which is the oldest and biggest fans club in North America, is joining forces with Spirit of Shankly to crank up the pressure on the Reds’ owners.
In a statement they said: "They are nothing more than financial parasites who are using the club we have known and loved all our lives for nothing more than increasing their bank balances.
"They care not for our 18 League Championships; they care not for our 5 European Cups; they care not for our 3 UEFA Cups; they care not for our 7 FA Cups; they care not for our 7 League Cups; they care not for our 3 European Super Cups.
"They care not for the Liverpool way, for the fans, for the history, for the memories, for the glories of our great club. For the glory that is Liverpool FC.
"They are not fit and proper persons to be the guardians of Liverpool FC.
"All they have contributed to Liverpool FC since that horrendous day in February 2007 is shame and dishonor.
"When they arrived, the club debt stood at £44.8 million; we were told that their debts incurred in buying the club would not be foisted upon the club. We were also told that work would begin on a new stadium in 60 days.
"This summer, the debt of Liverpool FC is £350 million and there are no plans for any stadium and the manager Rafael Benitez has been fired.
"Lies, subterfuge and debts. This has been the sad and sorry story of the tenure of Tom Hicks and George Gillett at Liverpool FC.
"In coming weeks, the LFCNY will be working closely with all the other Liverpool supporters’ clubs in North America and Spirit of Shankly to make sure that these two men will have nothing more to do with Liverpool FC.
"The people of Liverpool, the fans worldwide and the club itself deserves better than the steady diet of falsehoods and insults that have been served up by Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
"Get out of our club now and forever. You’ve done enough damage. Go before you do any more."

""spirit of shankly are some american flag burning shits""
Wow a piece of cloth burned (which was condemned by 99.9% of Liverpool fans by the way). Hardly comparable to the wanton ruination of one of the world's greatest sporting institutions by two stubborn, arrogant and uncaring American 'businessmen'.
Liverpool sold the club - and these chaps bought it.
If you don't like it you either buy the club yourselves or be quiet. They were the only ones paying the price so good luck to them. If they didn't buy Liverpool the Club might be in a worse mess.
theyve promised and havent delivered. Its all about money to them. I have no doubt liverpool would be in a better position if they hadnt bought in. They havent done anything substantial for us except eating away money to service their interest debts
