I'd like to see exactly what this fella wrote to provoke that though. It's telling it doesnt mention that at all.
Why on earth does any email of complaint sent to the owners get anything other than a form letter fuck off?
They do such basic things incorrectly, and I've seen tons of quasi reasonable personal replies as well, they shouldn't be responding at all. What sort of way is it to run a company where any time is spent by anyone, responding to ludicrous, though well-intentioned emails from the general public?

"I simply emailed copies of an article which would make every Liverpool fan worried, suggesting the club's debts will prevent investment in the team. I was hoping for a reassuring response instead I was insulted. I don't want an apology, I just want them out of the club."
By all accounts it was a perfectly reasonable email.

This is the message sent- just a c&p of an article about Liverpool:
To: George Gillett <gngillett@bcmgt.com>; Thomas O. Hicks; Thomas Hicks Jr.
Sent: Sat Jan 09 03:12:02 2010
Subject: Rafa Benitez should not have to manage Liverpool FC's debt
"While Liverpool are crying out for investment in their playing staff, had they cashed in on Babel, Benitez’s best hopes of spending a figure in excess of £9m this month would be to invest in a lottery ticket and hope all six numbers come up.
In the others words, the money would have been swallowed up to help finance the £240m debt the club is trying to manage; club insiders insist that is not the case and the deficit is manageable but critics of Tom Hicks and George Gillett will beg to differ.
it will be hard to escape the feeling that Liverpool’s main aim for the next few years will be debt reduction rather than trophy gathering.
Something desperately needs to change; while many see a new stadium or a redeveloped Anfield being key to transforming Liverpool’s financial fortunes, isn’t there a case to be made for investing in the one facet that should always take priority – the team?
Just say the Reds miss out on qualifying for the Champions League this season and, heaven forbid, some of the star players are sold to make up the shortfall in revenue they would normally receive from rubbing shoulders with the best in Europe.
Slowly but surely, Liverpool would find it harder and harder to keep pace with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs, to the point where European football might slip off the landscape completely."

In fairness, I'd be sick of bellends emailing me about their 'concerns' day and night as well.
As Fark said however, they should have some corporate monkey replying for them.

Agreed

Exactly, envious of Hick's Jnr's position though. You can just be son of a moron with no apparent qualifications and be the next in line to take over a club that means so much. Surely, Barca model of ownership is the only way to me it seems...

Maybe this was their corporate monkey. Maybe he'd just had a few.

I've met him, several times.
He's a spolit, loud-mouth, drunken, arrogant dickhead. LOVES being the big man in the bar, getting louder with each passing drink...
Funny thing is, the most recent time we watch a game in the same place, we ended up sitting quite close together, and, early on in the game, he started simply repeating anything I yelled out... If I yelled "Knock it wide!" or "C'mon Stevie!" or "Watch the back post!", within seconds, he'd be yelling exactly what I'd just said.
Wanker.

Given that he's that obnoxious, he has to be bad news for Hicks' business interests. What will it take for Daddy to put him back in his box and sit on the lid?
fucking yanks.
Jesus Christ, imagine repeating stuff whaddapie says
So embarrassing
So embarrassing
Ha ha
He loves being the big man in the bar... he repeated everything I was shouting.

1. Well in, Brendan. Guess I should have yelled "cunt" as many times as possible, huh?
2. I wasn't equating his repeating my thoughts with being the big man, obviously... Quite the opposite - My point being that , as per usual, the emptiest vessels make the most noise.
3. Sod off.

Our owners are fucking crackpots. The sooner they vanish the better. They are turning our club into a soap opera. They don't seem to have learned anything over the last 3 years about what is required of them.
What the f*ck are they doing responding to anyone from the public?
I don't think its a problem as such that they respond. Responding like this is obviously very much not on but if all that came back was a corporate standard response they would get shit for that from some people too.
This kind of thing suggests that they weren't expecting and aren't used to this kind of contact from fans and are out of their depth in some respect. Odd really as reports of their other ventures are not exactly glowing.
