Liverpool Owners Trying To Mend Relationship!

Remember when Tom Hicks and George Gillett took over as owners of Liverpool,there was a buzz of uncertainty.

Tom Hicks took my personal fool of the year award taking his problems to live television.

Warring Liverpool co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are trying to repair their fractured relationship.

The pair have been at loggerheads over a number of issues this year, leading Gillett to describe their partnership as "unworkable".

There were fears the public feud between the billionaire businessmen would create anarchy at Anfield - including affecting the spending plans of manager Rafael Benitez - but a ceasefire appears to have been called between the two factions.

According to a recent development,

Gillett revealed: "It's fair to say that communication between the Hicks and the Gilletts has been substantially improved and I believe that it will be for the benefit of the club".

"Time is a healer and there were things that had happened previously. It took a while for both of us to realise that we weren't communicating very well and the huge responsibility we have to the fans to do the right thing for the club".

"I believe that the Hicks family are communicating better with us and we're communicating better with them and I think that will be much better for the club."

But he added: "All of us are focused on the transfer window and we want to be ready for that and we want to have adequate resources and good communication with Rafa and our hope is that we're making better progress."

Gillett insists he is focused on backing Benitez's attempts to improve on last season's trophyless campaign.

"What did I think of last season's performance?" he said.

"I'd rather let the fans make that decision. But for a club that has a history of winning trophies, any season that you don't win one of the five or six trophies that we compete for, I suspect the fans, as well as the Hicks and Gilletts, are disappointed".

"But overall I felt that the team played quite well, particularly beginning and late".

"I think they were very representative and I think (Fernando) Torres was a wonderful selection".

 

 

 

What does this mean for Liverpool and their ambitions with the Premier League and in Europe?
