Dear Sirs

 

According to reports in The Sunday Times (London), Mill Financial, an arm of Springfield Financial Company, has joined forces with Mr Tom Hicks to try and prevent the scheduled sale of Liverpool Football Club to NESV, the parent company of the Boston Red Sox.

 

We represent SaveLFC, a fans group dedicated to ensuring fit and proper ownership of Liverpool Football Club - a club that's held dear to the hearts of millions woldwide, and to its own local community. The club, under the ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett (the man who defaulted on debt owed to Mill Financial and, it seems, ceded his share of the club to them in the process), has been set back decades during their tenure, with similar impact on said fanbase and surrounding community.

 

As the men who direct the activities of Springfield Financial overall, it's fair to say we'd like to know your plans.

 

Is Mill Financial working with Tom Hicks to try to prevent the proposed sale?

If so, what are your plans? Do you intend to somehow allow him an ongoing stake in the football club?

 

Rest assured that if this is the case, you will stir the ire of Liverpool fans worldwide. They will demand answers more vigorously than you're experiencing now.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

SaveLFC

Some poor twit just outside DC is going to come into the office today to a busted mail server, and all because the Sunday Times printed something about Springfield and Mill being in the same group. I do hope the ST has it's facts right.

 

It smells fishy to me: I can find nothing on Mill, and while hedgies are often "secretive", has anyone actually the found Mill Finance/Financial through a google search? Springfield, as pointed out in another thread, tend to be small ticket property lending and while Gillet was desparate and into property, I cannot imagine that he'd put his LFC shares up as collateral against the kinds of figures on the Springfield website. Again, Springfield and Mill are different but according to the ST, the latter is part of the former. Hedgies make big bets, The Springfield being flamed here doesn't come across as being the kind of entity that has that kind of money to burn... I am more than happy to be proven wrong.
