Tom Hicks Strikes Again

Image Copyright nerdsonsports.com


Once again Tom Hicks is in the media spotlight after reports emerged that he is trying to retain control of Liverpool FC by reappointing his son Foster as a board member. Foster was reported to have told a fan to "blow me fuck face" after a heated e-mail exchange regarding frustration at the then current ownership issues.

Various major newspapers like The Sun and The Mirror are reporting that any attempt made by Hicks to try and regain complete control at Anfield will be blocked by the rest of the board members (excluding perhaps George Gillet, who has remained strangely silent in the last couple of months).

This latest debacle, which will be seen as yet another insult to the club by it's fans around the world, will undoubtedly do more harm to Hicks's already tarnished repuation, than good. Liverpool fans were absolutely outraged at the behaviour of Foster Jr, and rightfully so. Said one Liverpool fan: "Any person in a responsible position of authority in an institution of the calibre of Liverpool Football Club should not be making remarks such as that".

It remains to be seen whether Hicks will be successful in his latest adventure, however, such a move will not win him any support, one suspects, either in the boardroom or outside its walls.
