After twelve months in ownership of our club its American owners showed their true colours and executed the one thing that they had sworn never to do. In putting all their borrowed debt against the club, we all knew the perilous position we were then in. To them it was good business; to us it was Russian roulette with the loaded gun at OUR heads, not theirs. Despite the boardroom backstabbing and treachery, Rafa has made progress over the last years. We know other parties are interested in the club, but not at the silly price the Yanks want purely to line their own pockets.
The Yanks know too well we are a golden cash cow in waiting, as soon as the stadium is built rich pickings are to be had. The credit crunch has pulled the carpet from beneath them, but they are hanging on by their fingernails in the vain hope of an upturn in the economy.
In the mean time we are sliding to the edge of the abyss. July will tell us if the banks give them a further last extension on their loans, at a higher rate, IF they do. Or they claim ownership of the club IF there are no buyers.
In the mean time other interested parties are prepared to stay quiet so as to let Hicks and Gillet go to the wall before they show their hands. In doing so they will acquire one of the worlds most famous football clubs at a bargain basement price.
We the fans have organised into a fans union S.O.S. and have formed a buyout share scheme in Share Liverpool. What we haven't done yet is involve ourselves in DIRECT ACTION against the American owners.
Boycotted the clubs shops, yes, and emailed protests across the States wherever the two parasites may be, yes, but nothing serious as yet. As fans, the club is foremost in our thoughts; we should be the very last people to place a negative, disruptive action against it.
This is the scenario that faces all Liverpool fans next month. If the Yanks get their way DIRECT ACTION must be taken against them, even to boycotting home games. They are a cancer in our club. If we have to cut off a hand to get rid we must.
Our Day of Deliverance is now at hand, if we lose, all fans will lose.
It will be your turn next.
