Jamie Carragher lashes out at Hicks and Gillett
Defender reveals more controversy in autobiography
Liverpool’s big man at the back is angry. In his latest work of art, Carra: My Autobiography, he lambasts owners Hank Hicks and Billy Bob Gillett for making £100m each and failing to build a new stadium and invest in strengthening the squad:
“For richer or poorer, we’d sold Liverpool to two ruthless businessmen who saw us as a money-making opportunity.”
“They didn’t buy Liverpool as an act of charity; they weren’t intent on throwing away all the millions they’d earned over 50 years… They wanted to buy us because the planned stadium offered a chance to generate tons of cash and increase the value of the club.
“Think how many world-class players that £200million could have brought to the club. Instead if Gillett and Hicks did sell, they or their banks would make a huge profit.
“I felt ill thinking about it.”
Do you agree with Jamie – do the American businessmen (who are hellbent on making their business profitable for some reason) actually give a shit about the club? Or are his expectations of a modern Premier League club owner a little skew-whiff?
