George Gillett, co-owner of Liverpool FC, blames Tom Hicks for his own broken promises and his overspend on expenses, as well as denying anything is wrong at the club.

Gillett blames Hicks

George Gillett discusses what is holding up Liverpool FC's new stadium. Almost two years after talking of shovels in the ground within 60 days, the Vail, Colorado, 'businessman' was still thinking up excuses for not building the stadium. The very stadium that had been the main reason he got the keys to the existing one. 

His "investment", along with that from partner and co-owner Tom Hicks, was supposed to bring the new stadium that would bring in the kind of revenues the other top clubs in Europe were using to stay amongst the top clubs in Europe.

Two years on and there is no stadium, players have to be sold before new players can be bought, and although Liverpool fans will walk on through any storm this one has been hanging over the club far too long.

And even if the owners find the money they clearly don't have, and despite the club having twice announced they have planning permission for a new stadium, Gillett has another obstacle up his sleeve: "We have to get planning approval" he claims.
