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

Dear Sirs,
According to reports in The Sunday Times, it is claimed that US Hedge Fund Mill Financial – an arm of Springfield Financial Company, has joined forces with Tom Hicks to try and prevent the sale of Liverpool Football Club to New England Sports Ventures, by attempting to raise cash to repay the owners debts to the Royal Bank of Scotland by the 15th of October deadline.
We write to inform you that if your company assists Tom Hicks in retaining his share in Liverpool Football Club, then the only return that you will see on your investment is bad publicity and a severe backlash from Liverpool supporters worldwide, as Michael Whitman the Senior Managing Director at the Blackstone Group will testify.

You are facing an energized, well-informed mass of Liverpool fans from around the world. We are tapped into a constant stream of information on the ownership situation. Every day, dozens of web forums buzz with the latest news. Protest marches, newspaper advertisements, boycotts and billboards are organized. Every move Hicks makes is scrutinized. And every associate of his is warned.
Refinancing is our nightmare scenario. Anybody who helps Tom Hicks refinance will become our primary target.
Yours sincerely,
