A Hicks & Gillett Era Retrospective | The Newsroom w/ Brian Reade 

Any fan who is moaning and complaining needs to listen to this....i can remember those dark days like yesterday and i never take klopp for granted

Looking back at how bleak things were for Liverpool, getting battered 6-1 to Stoke under Rodgers, replacing Torres with Andy Carrol under Daglish, how boring and average we were under Hodgson, really puts in perspective how lucky we currently are. I'll never take for granted our current successes because of what we went through in the past.

I was a season ticket holder until the year FSG bought us out as I moved abroad. It feels like a long, long time ago. It felt like such a nightmare at the end of it. I remember their first interviews and I got swept away with the "spade in the ground in 60 days" talk & competing in the transfer market. Jovanovic man, what a signing.

Brian Reade a fantastic journalist & his book is something all LFC fans should read 👍🏻

I think the most outrageous thing Hicks and Gillett attempted to do was taking Liverpool FC and the RBS to court in America after an English court ruled Liverpool FC could be sold to the highest bidder and the fact they tried to get an injunction to stop the sale in the American courts, and they failed when the Legal team for both Liverpool FC and RBS told the American courts that America had no jurisdiction on English law or its courts and America had no jurisdiction on an English courts judgement, and that American courts could not set a judgement on matters that happen in England even though the 2 men filing the action are American,

What a great video Paul..thank you for having Brian on..One of the best journalists around👍🏼

Brian Reade was full of praise for that disgusting eyesore greenhouse stadium that Hicks and Gillett wanted to build. Don't forget that - Brian supported the idea of demolishing Anfield ;-)

Really good video, more of these look backs please.

Great chat, Brian's so interesting to listen to

I was born on the season when we last won the league, decided to become a fan in the 99/00 season. It has been a roller-coaster ride, from real highs, the lowest of lows, until finally it looks like it's finally going to happen. And then of course we've had to put it on hold because of a global pandemic, just our luck I guess. At this point I honestly don't care how the remaining fixtures are held, and if the season is going to be cancelled, as long as we get the trophy because frankly, we're going to win the thing whatever rival fans say. I read that West Ham's porno owners are campaigning to void this season so that we can pretend it never happened. They can take their purple dildos and piss off.

Cheers, Paul. That Lobotomy wasn’t cheap yano.

Chelsea supporter here in uncertain times. Great episode!

Where are those 6 CL mini trophies from lads near the tele

I was 17 when FFG took over and I can't believe the transaction listening back on it all. They are doing things right 👍🏻

Liverpool stadium seating poor and the people who live there cannot get the emergency services to their homes.. Its a nightmare living there

Great podcast Paul enjoyed you conversation with journalist daily mirror? Forgot his name lol 😂 still enjoyed it , thanks Paul YNWA. I was 24 when we last won title OMG ??

Brian reade top man

We overcame two cancerous tumours, so we will get through this virus.

The European Cup is the biggest trophy in the world for a football club and player it puts the club on the world stage

👏👏

That was brilliant

2024 January... Look at us now❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Up the fookin Reds!!!YNWA

I like looking back at the Hicks and Gillett era just to see how far we’ve come under FSG and Klopp on the pitch and off it. Hicks never cared about the club and just wanted to sell it for profit. FSG have carefully reconstructed a sleeping giant and with Jürgen at the helm that giant is no longer sleeping!

First thing that comes to mind is when one of them called us the "Red Devils"!

Brian Reade is fucking ace. That's it.

The invincibles wouldn’t have lost to corona virus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They don't care about Rafa, they don't care about fans

Need protests to get fsg out. Liverpool are going back to the 7th 8th position club they used to be.

The man that left at half time in Istanbul

Liverpool stadium should have a larger kop standing...

If I remember correctly, Brian Reade was full of praise for that hideous eyesore stadium that Hicks and Gillett wanted to build. I wonder if he's eaten his words...

Epic swindle

I have liverpool winning title song. Going up the second its done. Its a very lyrical rap with master class production. If the redmen want an exclusive. Ill let you have a listen from tomorrow on, message me. There's funny punchlines youd love guy involving Robertson and mane Id really like ye to be the first to hear it besides my mom and producer

An interesting article by Richard Keys richardajkeys.com/index.php/blog/235-liverpool-have-won-their-battle-now-it-s-war

Football clubs are a business the fans don't own it they are pawns who don't count the businessmen run football

Dave"Trigger" shenton

BOSS

When Redmen tv were exactly like AFTV. The abuse Hodgson got lol

Liverpool were wank back then. Thank god those two cunts are gone.

what do people think about it being reported that 50% of the premier league wont be bothered if the league gets cancelled, this report as me worried now, if this happens city will be happy about this and will enjoy watching us being robbed of the title and the league refusing to award us the trophy along with the scumbag utd and all the other Liverpool haters will laugh their heads off at this, and if I was the club if this happens ide take legal action and refuse to play next season, one chairman said it would be unjust not to give Liverpool the title but if the league is cancelled then theres not a lot that can be done, and he then said there would be no teams relegated either but the top 2 teams in the championship should be promoted to make the league bigger next season, so if the league is going to allow the promotions then surely they should allow us the title otherwise that would be totally unfair not to hand Liverpool the title but allow west brom and Leeds their promotions, rather than denying us the title and rather cancelling the season play the remainder behind closed doors either to the end of the season or until relegations and euro qualifications are done and that we get the 6 points ,once all these are done and theres still 3-4 games to go then cancel it as everything would be sorted out, thoughts anyone

had to sneak fucking politics in fucking bore off

Anfield is great all these new ground are corporate theme parks for yuppies and new fans families the rich, the kind of fans the fa and goverment want, liverpool dodged one with the 2 Cowboys, could now dancing to goal music with clappers and vegan pies and rocket when they touched a eggball soccor net, lol woo hoo
