Don't expect to see anything like the photo above from these 2 multi-millionaires anytime soon. Perhaps you've heard about the rift between Rangers/Stars owner Tom Hicks and Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillette. They Co-Own the Premiere League soccer team in Liverpool and Gillette has taken their fued public. Fans of the storied franchise have begun demonstrated against ownership, after some questionable decisions how to run the club. Gillette was ready to bail and offered his share of the team to a firm from Dubai. HIcks, as was his right, blocked the sale. And since then, it's been time to play the fued!!! Here's more background. The 2 men are attending the team's game today, but have made it clear they won't sit together, and Gillette blasted Hicks in a radio interview last week. George Riba and I were talking about it in the office, and George found the radio interview. Check it out and pay particular attention from about the 8 minute mark to the 10 minute mark of the clip. Its just no often that this sort of thing happens in the sports world. Owners go at it in the press. How bad must things be for it to get to this??? We've yet to hear a response from Hicks, but the next time we can, I'll certainly ask. |
