Hicks is the bitch, Gilette has been a godsend to us. (Imagine hockey fans respecting an american owner to the games most storied team. tell me this 3 years ago i would have told you to off)
it... off:p |
haha. Hicks is hated in liverpool as I say, gillet not so much so, but they could both take a leaf out of the book of Randy Lerner who owns Aston Villa. He's at every game with his claret & blue scarf on, and is actually a fan of them, having studied in the uk when he was younger. His interviews are honest and he backs his manager to the hilt, something Benitez hasn't had, esp with Hicks offering his job around. When there's problems at the top, it does affect the team and liverpool are showing that now. they're in all honesty 2 good players off being a great team and 5 off being a great squad on a level with man utd, but they just look so far away because of it. |
