Liverpool's co-owner Tom Hicks has fired a broadside at Uefa, claiming the governing body's communications director William Gaillard is a clown for piling blame on the Anfield club's fans for the problems at the UEFA Champions League final.

 

A Uefa dossier presented to sports minister Richard Caborn is expected to paint a dim view of Liverpool's supporters, while Gaillard has pinned the blame for the trouble in Athens squarely at the door of the travelling Reds hordes.

 

Gaillard said: "The incidents involving Liverpool fans have been well known to us before the trouble at the Champions League final which involved Liverpool fans last week.

 

"That was just the latest example. What other set of fans steal tickets from their fellow supporters or out of the hands of children?"

 

Gaillard's comments have stirred the fire in Hicks, as he has responded by hitting out at Uefa's handling of the Athens showpiece.

 

"I thought the guy from Uefa was a clown for saying that," Hicks told Sky Sports News. "Uefa did not handle this right at all.

 

"To give 17,00 tickets to the two teams, particularly knowing Liverpool is going to bring 40,000 fans is insane.

 

"I think it is a classic case of a bureaucrat trying to take pressure off himself.

 

"They didn't handle it right, they didn't have proper ticketing procedures.

 

"Unfortunately there were counterfeit tickets and unfortunately there were Liverpool fans who paid hard-earned money and a lot of fans went to great sacrifice to get their tickets and they got to the stadium and were told there was no more room.

 

"Were they mad? Sure they were mad and I don't blame them."

Well in. Needed something a bit stronger than Parry's response.

Surprised to see an American actually come out and say what they think, they tend to fluff around these things. Great sign.

Well in Hicks!

 

That is sound. Nice to see the Americans stand up for the supporters. I especially like this:

So what was said about signings then? Just that there will be one within a week?

Probably Xabi or Reina signing a contract extension

Hicks said that they talking to people and that he thinks the Liverpool fans will be happy with who they are trying to sign and that they 'maybe' an announcement within a week.
