Hicks interview coming up on SSN.
Hicks: We were swindled.
The protracted takeover saga at Liverpool has taken another twist, with former co-owner Tom Hicks vowing to fight his corner.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News, the American businessman has made it clear that he does not consider the matter to be over, with further legal proceedings set to take place.
Hicks,
who took charge at Anfield in 2007 alongside George Gillett,
was stripped of power on Merseyside on Friday as New England Sports Ventures (NESV) completed their purchase of the club.
That deal went against Hicks and Gillett's wishes, as the £300million on the table fell considerably short of their valuation of the club.
However, with a High Court ruling siding in favour of their creditors, the Royal Bank
of Scotland, the American pair were forced to begrudgingly walk away.
Upon returning to their homeland, they lodged a $1.6billion damages claim - although that has since been dropped.
Hicks and Gillett are not prepared to let the issue lie, though, and are fully prepared to take the fight back to Liverpool
and the High Court.
Devastated
Hicks feels the manner in which the Reds board have acted throughout the takeover wrangle has been unprofessional, claiming he has been 'swindled', while he has also revealed that he attempted to clear the club's debts on Friday but was prevented from doing so.
RBS had set a 15th October deadline for their £237million loan, which allowed Hicks and Gillett to buy Liverpool, to be repaid in full or face the consequences - with a nine-point penalty threatened should the club's holding company, Kop Holdings, enter administration.
A disappointed Hicks told Sky Sports News: "I'm shocked, devastated, frustrated. We are being very careful to make sure we follow the High Court rules but I'm very disappointed. It's hurt my family tremendously. This very valuable asset has been swindled away me in an epic swindle. I'm very angry about it.
"I have been working very hard to solve the issue. We know there are better owners around the world who should own Liverpool Football Club
than the Boston Red Sox group (NESV). We knew who they were and were frustrated every time we had conversations with them.
"Our desire was to have Liverpool in the hands of the right and proper next owner who could build the stadium and make Liverpool the top club in the world that it deserves to be."
Hicks claims he was fully prepared to part with the club and believes a witch-hunt against himself and Gillett was responsible for creating a media and fan frenzy which made the situation virtually impossible to handle.
"I accepted the club was going to be sold back in April, the question was when," he added.
"The Royal Bank of Scotland wanted it done the day after and there was no reason for that. Liverpool were a very healthy financial performing club. There was a bit too much debt, no question, but we were going to fix that.
"We were frustrated by others. I think the right owner would have paid Gillett and Hicks a fair price and would have had the resources to spend on players and the stadium."
Funds
On the issue of repaying RBS, Hicks claims he was prevented from doing so by a 'conspiracy' which included high ranking officials at Anfield, including club chairman Martin Broughton.
He said: "We did have the funds available to pay off RBS in its entirety. But between RBS and the chairman and the employees that conspired against us, we could not pay off the debt.
"I know exactly why that was, they had the ability to. This was an organised conspiracy and it went on for months. It consisted of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Martin Broughton - who wanted a good PR event in his life because he's a Chelsea
fan, he's not even a Liverpool fan - he wanted to be scene as the guy who got rid of the Americans."
Hicks feels he and Gillett have been cast in an unfair light and have been wronged throughout the takeover ordeal.
He is now keen for the real story to be told and is fully prepared to go back to court in order for his side to be heard.
"I just want the truth to come out in the courts," he said.

I can't express how happy and relieved I am. I've got a lad in my college who is American, has a lot of family in the U.S.A and he and his family are really into baseball. He reckons they're top owners and as he supports Everton, he is disappointed they have bought the club 
They've spent the second most amount of money in their time at the Red Sox, behind New York Yankee's (the Madrid of the baseball world).
They've spent the second most amount of money in their time at the Red Sox, behind New York Yankee's (the Madrid of the baseball world).The liverpool ownership thing is not a data issue, the researcher is aware of things going on.
Please do not waste his time, and mine (because i will just delete the posts!) or anyone elses trying to tell him that this needs putting in because it happened today, the data has been locked already and any such changes that the researcher feels is needed will be inserted in at the earliest possible time.
So basically, dont post stuff about how much money he has to spend how little the debt will be. Its nothing to do with FM10, and the factual things will be put into FM11 as soon as Paul gets the chance.

I wish SSN would stop playing the interview with him, he sprouts so much rubbish.
Wish Henry and NESV the best of luck with the club and be warned NESV the fans have a much better understanding of the legal processes now

Waiting to see Phil Thompson GSS today 
Anfield area regeneration grants from Europe etc. are dependant on Liverpool's new stadium being built. Other issue is just how much work would be needed to redevelop - costings done so far have shown it's just as cheap to do a new build.

Hicks is a ******, he shouldn't ever be aloud in a football stadium again, never mind own a club.
He's greedy & clearly wants to lie a little more to destroy LFC, well sir the Liverpool faithful are against you, and i hope everything you touch from now on goes down the tubes, goodbye and i hope you've lost a fair old wack of cash along the way
*rant over*

*rant over*Even my Mum is sick of it now & she's normally v interested in LFC's goings on. I truly hope Pompey are the next club to get well off, RESPONSIBLE owners. Their long suffering fans deserve it.
PS: I AM aware that NESV have still got it all to prove to LFC fans, that they're what we've been praying for, but here's hoping.

Rich Guys 1 - 0 Poor Guys!!!!!
John Henry: The First Interview.
Liverpool Football Club's new owner John Henry has spoken of his delight after New England Sports Ventures completed their purchase of the Reds.
In an exclusive interview with Liverpoolfc.tv, Henry reveals his pride at the deal and explains why he believes NESV can lead the Club into an exciting new era.
First of all John, welcome to Liverpool Football Club...
Thank you. I'm really happy to finally be here.
How pleased are NESV to be our Club's new owner?
We're incredibly pleased. Talking to all the partners in the States, they're extremely happy.
It's been a dramatic few days - what have they been like from your point of view?
It has been a dramatic few days, twists and turns, it's been stressful but finally we have it done and that was our goal and our hope. I'm extremely proud of this team that worked on this deal.
Were you always confident this deal would go through?
No. There were many days where I was wondering whether or not we'd be going home. In fact, even today I wasn't a hundred per cent confident. There were days where I was confident but there were a lot of twists and turns here. It was a terrific team - Martin, Ian, Christian - who did a tremendous job of managing this process and I'm just happy it ended successfully.
Now the deal has been done and we can look forward, do you see similarities between Liverpool now and the Boston Red Sox team you took over?
There are a lot of similarities and that was something we've been discussing as we started doing our due diligence. We found more and more similarities between Liverpool 2010 and the Red Sox of 2001. I won't go into them at this point, but for instance the stadium issue was a big issue in Boston in 2001 and we went in there not knowing what we should do, whether we should build a new ball park or refurbish Fenway. We have the same issue here. We have to listen, learn, talk to the community, talk to the council, talk with the supporters, but the biggest issue of all is really what makes the most sense for Liverpool long term.
We're going to have to work very hard. There's a lot of work to be done to get this club to where it needs to be in the grand scheme of things. We really, through all the work we've done over the last two months, saw the challenges and problems which exist and we've got to work to address those. There is a great nucleus here off the field and on the field and we think we can build from that, but it's not going to be easy. We've got real challenges.
Some Liverpool fans expressed concern when it emerged that their Club could be sold to a new set of Americans - can you understand those fears?
I can, I absolutely can. It's been a tough three years and there were a lot of expectations created, so one thing I'm going to try not to do is to create a lot of expectations. I'm going to hopefully rather than make promises, deliver. When I say I, I mean New England Sports Ventures. We've got a very strong organisation, financially and otherwise, we have some terrific strategic thinkers and we're going to be attacking this head on starting tomorrow.
A lot of Liverpool fans all over the world are very happy today - what's your message to them?
All I can say at this point is we're going to work as hard for you as we possibly can and there's no doubt about it, you deserve it. You have supported this club through the worst of times now and we're going to do everything in our power to make the supporters proud of their club and of us.

Good news for liverpool, hopefully now there no excuses when we beat you.
Ride The Walrus
A pretty cool guy.
