LFC owner’s son forced to leave fans’ pub

Feb 25 2008 by Alan Weston, Liverpool Daily Post

THE son of Liverpool FC co-owner Tom Hicks had to be escorted out of a city pub by bodyguards after he was confronted by angry questions from fans.

Tom Hicks Jnr made an unannounced visit to The Sandon pub straight from the directors’ box at Anfield, where he watched Liverpool’s 3-2 victory against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

However, he was soon surrounded by supporters and was advised to withdraw by his bodyguards when the exchanges became increasingly heated.

According to one witness, Hicks “ran out, with fans chanting ‘get out of our pub’.” However, suggestions that he was physically manhandled or that punches were thrown were denied.

The Sandon is a popular gathering place for Liverpool fans both before and after games. CCTV footage of the incident will now be examined before it is decided what action, if any, to take.

It is believed no formal complaint has yet been made by club director Hicks Jnr, whose visit on Saturday was the first by anyone from the families of Tom Hicks or George Gillett since fans began demonstrating against their ownership of the club.

The incident is the latest example of the increasing antagonism between supporters and the American co-owners.

Demonstrations have taken place both inside and outside the stadium, while a number of campaigns have been launched by fans discontented with the new regime, including an attempt to buy-out the club and the founding of the Sons of Shankly (SOS) supporters’ union.

Local author Nicky Allt, chairman of SOS, who was not present at the Sandon at the time of Hicks Jnr’s visit, but was told about it afterwards, said: “I was quite surprised he went in there.

“He stood at the bar with his two minders and was left alone to begin with, but then he was approached by a member of the Liverpool supporters’ union.

“He was being asked questions like ‘What’s going on?’, ‘How come the club’s loaded with debt?’, ‘Do Hicks and Gillett speak to each other?’, ‘How can the club be run from Texas?’

“Then more people started butting in.”.

Sandon manager Steven Charnock, who was also not present, said staff told him that Hicks Jnr had run out, to cries of “get out of our pub”.

Tom Hicks Snr has become the target of fans’ anger over the millions of debt he and fellow owner George Gillett have placed on the club, the scaling-back of plans for a new stadium, and the approaches made to Jurgen Klinsmann to replace manager Rafael Benitez.

Following Saturday’s victory, he was reported as saying: “We realise communication is important but it’s a lot better now.

“I’d like to live here because Liverpool is a great place.”

Liverpool FC spokesman Ian Cotton said he had no comment to make regarding the incident at the Sandon.
