Filmmaker Mike Jefferies, who is best known as the writer and producer of the movie trilogy, Goal, is on the warpath against Tom Hicks and George Gillett and want them to cease trying to get new funding to run and club, and to leave Liverpool FC.

And now Jefferies is working on a short movie to demonstrate his (and fellow Liverpool supporters) frustration about Hicks. The filmmaker flew from his home in South Africa to Liverpool and will be shooting an anti-Hicks film this weekend. Jefferies has been able to get a production company to donate cameras, sound and editing services. Plus Jefferies expects many A-List celebrities, who are Liverpool supporters, to help the cause by appearing in the viral video. Those people may include Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McCulloch (from Echo and The Bunnymen), Ian Broudie (from The Lightning Seeds), among others.

The video will be released on YouTube in the near future and the intentions are to hit one million views.

In the meantime, Jefferies has published the following open letter to U.S. media executives to get his point across:

Dear USA Media Executive

We love America in Liverpool, but

We gave you THE BEATLES and this is how you repay us?

What happened to the Special Relationship between the US and the UK?

Are you aware of how Tom Hicks is driving our beloved Liverpool Football Club into the ground?

How would you like it if a British businessman came over to the USA and destroyed the New York Yankees? Or the LA Lakers? Or ! the Wash ington Redskins?

Well, in Liverpool we are living a Wayne Huizenga and Florida Marlins moment all over again!

Please Google Tom Hicks + Liverpool to see what an embarrassment he is to the USA.

We would be grateful if you could help us by reporting our story in order that we might persuade Wall Street NOT to lend him the money he is currently trying to raise, to drive our football team into even more debt and despair.

Sorry about the mass email approach, but we have tried everything else, and we all feel like we are at the end of the road.

Thanks in anticipation

MJ

    Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

    Image
    The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

    England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

    Image
    One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

    How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

    Image
    Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
