Thommo demands change
Phil Thompson has publicly criticised Liverpool Football Club's owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The former Liverpool defender and assistant manager to Gerard Houllier believes that the lack of investment is unacceptable and the club and fans are suffering. “We wanted our new stadium well before Arsenal, but they’ve now got a 60,000-seater stadium that they’re filling every week and are taking in vast amounts of money every week compared to what we are. “The club, the stadium and what’s happening on the field just seems to be secondary in the Americans’ minds. They’re all about money and getting the debt down which shouldn’t have been there in the first place. “When they came in I was one of those who thought that they were saying the right things but they didn’t keep to their word of having a spade in the ground after 60 days and not heaping debt on the football club. “If they can’t see the future and if they’re not going to invest in the team, whether it’s Rafa Benitez or somebody else, they’re not magicians and you can’t work like that at the top of the Premiership. “The only thing we as fans can see that they’re paying off the debt while we as a football club and a team suffer, and that is wrong. it should be all about the football team.”
