RTK - Save Our Soul
Tonight, we all have a duty.
Do we sit back and accept the way
our club is being run, dragged through the mud and splattered all over
the front pages of every paper in the country? Do we ignore the LIES
spouted by our new owners? Do we sit there in silence and shrug our
shoulders at the way Liverpool Football Club’s great name is being
tarnished by liars like Tom Hicks and George Gillett?
They
promised us they would never place the club into debt, and all finance
would be secured against their personal assets, not the clubs. THEY LIED.
The
promised they would back the manager in the transfer market, even
buying him Snoogy Doogy if he wanted. We have spent the same as we do
every year. THEY LIED.
They promised to build us the best football stadium in the world. THEY LIED.
Most
of all, they promised to act as custodians, and respect the name of
Liverpool Football Club, it’s history, heritage and traditions. THEY LIED.
We’re
not happy to sit back and accept all that. We answer back. We make
ourselves heard. We let them know exactly how we feel about the events
of the past few months. About their failure to follow up the promises
made with their PR spin last summer. It’s time to ask them the
question.
We’re supposed to place our trust in the men who
thought Klinsmann was qualified enough to take over the reigns at
Anfield. A man with no club management experience. A man with no track
record of success in management. And all this selected by 2 Americans
who confessed themselves just over 6 months ago that they know very
little about "soccer". That, as well as the above lies – are you happy
for these men to continue running OUR club?
We urge everyone
to make their feelings known tonight. And if the person next to you
isn’t, urge them to join you. We’re all in this together. We fight for
OUR club. They own the deeds, we own the spirit. You can buy one but
not the other. Leave them in no doubt of our thoughts.
No matter where you are in the ground tonight, play your part.
Forget
success. Forget the new ground. Forget the supposed Holy Grail of the
19th League title. This is about honour. It’s about history,
principles, tradition and soul. Liverpool F.C is one of the handful of
sporting institutions left in the world that has any soul, and these
two ‘custodians’ are nakedly and shamelessly trying to sell our soul
down the Swanee. It’s down to ourselves, the ordinary fans, to stand up
and be counted tonight and send Hicks and Gillett a message that, even
with their communication problems, they can’t possibly mishear. Kopites Unite - Save Our Soul
