"Blow me fuck face"
The war between Liverpool’s fans and the club’s American owners exploded last night. The son of co-owner Tom Hicks, who is also a club director, launched an offensive e-mail attack on a supporter.
A member of the Spirit of Shankly, the fans’ group set up to give supporters a forum to voice their disapproval of how Hicks Senior and George Gillett are running the club, contacted Tom Hicks Jnr. He made the Texan businessman aware of a local newspaper article questioning why boss Rafa Benitez was being forced to manage the club’s debts. Hicks Jnr’s despatched a one word response: "Idiot".Hicks Junior then sent a follow-up message which read:“Blow me f**k face. I am sick of you.”
Hicks Junior’s incredible behaviour will come as a major embarrassment to Liverpool’s owners and will inevitably intensify the level of anger felt by supporters. Paul Rice, chairman of Spirit of Shankly, said: “It is totally indefensible for a director of the club to speak to a fan in that manner.We feel this makes Tom Hicks Junior's position as a director of Liverpool Football Club untenable.”
For months there has been a simmering mood of anger towards the American owners from disillusioned Anfield fans. But this latest insult looks certain to prompt a ferocious backlash from the Liverpool faithful. When the American owners arrived at Anfield three years ago they claimed the club was in good hands, that they would build a new stadium and have direct lines of communication with the fans. Last night Hicks Senior sent a personal apology to the offended party in a desperate exercise in damage limitation. But his son's gaffe could prove the insult that unites all Liverpool fans against the club hierarchy.
