Read Hollywood producer Mike Jeffries open letter to Tom Hicks [extract]

So Tom Hicks wants to refinance and hang on to LFC. Hasn’t he got the message?

Doesn’t he know he has become the most despised person on Merseyside since Kelvin f***ing McKenzie? Doesn’t he realise the damage he’s doing to our club?

Just look at what he’s been doing:

•He promised that the acquisition of LFC would not be a Glazer-Style LBO. It ended up being as bad – if not worse – with all the debt being loaded onto the club’s balance sheet. The net result is that the club is now up to its ears in debt. And it could get worse!

•He’s been behind a policy to sell many top players and replace them with (significantly) cheaper alternatives. This, despite promises of “Snoogy Doogy” and “Big Summer 2010”.

•Despite promises made to the contrary, he’s failed to start work on a new stadium – despite circa $100M being spent on Architect fees.

•He undermined Rafa Benitez by (scandalously) having public discussions with a possible successor, Jurgen Klinsmann.

•He resorted to nepotism and appointed his son to the Board of Directors, who soon had to resign after sending an email to a fan in which he wrote: “Blow me f**k face”.

•He’s treated the King with sheer disrespect. Apparently he has “bigger things” in mind for KD than being Manager of LFC.

•He’s embarrassed the hell out of us in the media (and amongst our peers) with endless reports of trying (unsuccessfully) to shop the club like a clapped-out second-hand car – all over the world from Hong Kong to India, and from Saudi Arabia to the good old USA. Even to Syria! Everyone’s said no. Because of his ridiculous valuation(s).

The above list of ‘Crimes Against LFC’ is pretty shocking. And it’s why we are now languishing above the relegation zone. And out of the Carling Cup (to fourth Division Northampton… @ home!). And with no Champions League football. And with not much likelihood of it next season.

But Tom Hicks doesn’t care. By trying to refinance – instead of showing some class and cutting a reasonable deal with someone and cutting his losses - he is saying “f**k you”.

So what should we say in reply?

“ENOUGH!”

The only way we – as fans and stakeholders – can get him to change his arrogant mindset is to shame him and embarrass him in front of his family, friends, business associates, investors, and political contacts etc. And of course in the media. Especially in the USA. Especially in Texas!

He doesn’t give a s**t what we do in Liverpool….

We have to take this to him in America!

Therefore, I just flew up from Cape Town last night to come to Liverpool to make a short film here this weekend in which Liverpool fans and stakeholders will tell Tom Hicks – and the world! - exactly what they think of him.

And when friends of Tom Hicks see it, they will either start asking him some very painful questions, or they’ll no longer take his calls. We are going to shame him.

Liverpool fans everywhere are coming together this weekend with LOADS of local celebs, former players, high profile Redmen, actors, musicians, politicians and everyone who cares about our unique football club to send a simple, powerful and definitive message to Tom Hicks: GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.

But we want the fans to be included too. So if YOU want to come along and tell Tom Hicks what you think of him, we will be filming on Saturday from 10.00am – 6.00pm at the Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool. Please form an orderly queue and be prepared for a wait....

And we'll be filming on Sunday too around the ground and in the pubs.

Our aim is to work night and day so that we can have the film uploaded onto YouTube by Tuesday and we would like the fans to then email the URL to their entire address books. Spread the word! To the media. To the financial community. To everyone. To the world!

Imagine if we can get a MILLION HITS on YouTube! If we achieve that, then we can rest assured that everyone who counts will know that Tom Hicks is utterly despised. And more importantly, Tom Hicks will know….

Walk on Tom. Jog on Tom. We are LIVERPOOL!!!
