  1. what a liar.how the fuck can he sit there and play the victim.he brought our beloved club to its knees.everything he touches in sports goes to shit.ie.the texas rangers,the dallas stars,corinthians football club and liverpool football club.im so happy that this scumbag has lost his stranglehold on lfc before he ran us into the ground.piss off and take your losses tom.karma is a bitch.lfc 4ever

  2. Nice to hear the other side of the story, I suppose. I’m not really convinced. He may have included wages in the costs spent on players in those dodgy figures. I do agree that Rafa didn’t exactly have as good an eye for talent as others, but a lot went wrong here.

    It is easy to watch this and think “This guy ain’t so bad…” but you have to remember that he has screwed up the Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and Corinthians (although not as badly…no one seems to bring that one up, why?). His actions in court don’t help either.

    He also never explains why they “conspired against” him – they needed a good motive. What incentive did they have to sell to NESV instead of a higher buyer? I think Hicks thinks this is all about money (I mean this in a non-selfish way, too). The highest bidder may not be the best bidder, and I think that is why the board liked NESV more than Mill financial or Lin.

    I’m a proud Liverpool supporter, and proud “Internet terrorist.”

  3. He’s so transparent it’s funny!! $150M dollars, then which becomes £150M later in the interview. I could go on, but it would involve picking apart pretty much every line he utters!! A joke of a man. Feels like I just got out of a really bad relationship and I’m being made to feel bad for getting rid of them even though it was THEM abusing ME!! Useless redneck Hick.

  4. Wow! This guy is an incredible liar! He says that they’rer following the law and the high court’s decision, but that was only after he tried to deceive the court in Texas as to what was going on in the UK and got caught. Just read the high court’s decision that granted the injunction that forced Hicks to dismiss his suit. It’s peppered with refences to Hicks & Gilette’s deception and duplicity!

  5. i believe him when he says they invested 300 million on players the reason others wont believe that is because of the players rafa benitez bought, in his time as manager the only real standout player he bought was nando !! he bought alot and when i say alot its actually more than that but he did purchase rubbish players who came and not long after theyre debut match left liverpool and i doubt many people would disagree with this !!

  6. @relieved red. There are too many reds who refuse to recognise the truth. H&G would have been heroes on Merseyside if they did not fall into the trap of trusting Rafa. Had they replaced him with someone like Jose Mourinho when they took over the club, they would now be laughing and Liverpool fans ecstatic. Winning the Champions League on that freakish night in Istanbul cost Liverpool dearly.

  7. so nice to see him torn to the ground like this, enjoy your beautiful 70 mp loss…besides, you too Mill Finance.

    have a nightmare fxxx face :)
