LAST NIGHT AND DIC

[Spirit Of Shankly]

We want to thank everyone who took part in protesting against the current ownership. We know and appreciate you are on the front line. It's easy for us to ask you to talk to those who are uninformed on our behalf; it's you who has to do it. It's a process. The message is getting out a day at a time and we will try our hardest to make sure that continues.

 

The message that was sent last night got as far as Dallas. Hicks' "Echo" reported what we did at half time just as our Echo did. The world's a small place, something Mr Hicks with his talk of siphoning money doesn't understand. We understand it and while yesterday was about what went on in the ground, we ask every Red the world over who agrees with us to find their own way to get the message out to those close to them. Supporting Liverpool FC isn't a shirt you wear or an accent you have, it's part of the essence of who you are, wherever you may live.

 

For that reason we're working hard on regional branches of the Union and hope to have good news about online payment, constitutions and membership cards soon. Those of you who have handed money and cheques over to us have shown real patience. We hope to present you with progress sooner rather than later. In addition the website as a functioning entity will be ready to go soon. We're pushing two fronts simultaneously – building the union structure and getting rid of the current owners. Events dictate the reality of this, the vast majority of Liverpool supporters want Hicks and Gillett out which dictates the reality of this. We have to do both at once and so, again, we thank you for your support and patience.

 

Another message got sent out last night. This one got as far as Dubai. A member of the Working Committee was able to meet with a representative of DIC. He told them supporters would on the whole be pleased with a change of ownership and having had our fingers burnt once, they'd be welcomed, albeit cautiously. They took these comments on board. The meeting was constructive and talks will hopefully continue in the future.

 

We ask all supporters, union members or not, not to go overboard about this. This doesn't guarantee in any way, shape or form that DIC are inevitably going to take over. Nor does it mean we endorse them. It simply was what it was, an introductory meeting between us and them. Pleasing in itself, but we will always keep to our stated aim of holding whoever owns the football club to account.

 

We're also having another massive meeting, The Olympia, noon, 15th march. The day of the Reading game. We ask Mr Moores again to attend as part of his role as Honorary Life President. If it isn't possible, we ask him to send us a statement to read on the day.

 

Regardless of all this, we must keep working. We need to set up what the structure the Union needs so it functions for years to come. We need to work harder to improve communications with you. And we all need to keep working towards forcing Hicks and Gillett out.

 

So thanks again for your hard work last night and thanks in advance for your hard work in the future. If you want to get involved in any way please email spiritofshankly@googlemail.com

Well in, lads.

[Chili Palmer]

I like the idea of one union representing the fans.

 

but what did the guy from DIC say?

that's it

 

nature of the beast I'm afraid but it's pretty good as a starting point don't you think?

frustrating business this sometimes but we'll get there in the end

Are we getting Kaka or not. FFS.

[Maldini]

googlemail or gmail for the email address?

[Falconhoof]

How were you able to confirm it was someone from DIC and not the News of The World ?

[Guest Snorky]

Because they never stunk of piss and stale ale ?

Me, too. But I followed the link to the SoS site, read the stuff and decided that I would put my money where my mouth is and sign up; there were a couple of loose ends in my mind so I e-mailed Knox, seeing as he laid down the challenge to check it out more, via his profile, with 2 questions. So far, I've had no reply, so it's kind of difficult to get involved.

 

I don't know how else to contact him or SoS, and didn't see any contact link off the SoS site, so if someone can ask him if he got the email (or if you read this Knox - did you get it?), and can he reply, please? I've raised observations and opions in recent threads that have been taken as non-supportive or constructive, and I still stand by those comments, but one way I'd like to show that critisism or destructive input isn't where I'm coming from is by signing up. So, if we have questions before we do that, how do we raise them other than through the forums? Is there an e-mail addy to use?
