Tom Hicks’ letter leaked!

In a sensational twist to the current muddle of affairs that we are undergoing, a private letter written on Liverpool-headed note paper written by chairman Tom Hicks has allegedly been leaked to the press. The letter contains details of how he plans to buy out Gillett’s stake in the club by purchasing a 1% stake in the club to give him the majority stake and put him in sole ownership of the club.

Hicks has accused Amanda Stavely for releasing the letter into the public.

A statement from Hicks said: “DIC is one of several potential minority investors we are or will be talking to.

“As for Amanda Staveley, who has a reputation for being pretty smart, she should know better than to publicly put words in my mouth - particularly words that she knows or should know perfectly well aren’t true.

“She should also know better than to release actual copies of my private correspondence to the press.

“If she thinks that is an appropriate way to acquire a stake in Liverpool FC, she had better think again.”

Despite this sudden twist, Hicks says that he is still meeting DIC to arrange a potential joint ownership of the club, with a view of DIC buying out the entire club.
