No, you choose your partners more carefully

George Gillett

Say you decide to go into business with a buddy who’s as successful as yourself, wrap a ton of debt into your purchase and then start having problems with how he handles himself in the public eye.  I’d imagine it could get a bit icy between the two of them right?

Speaking at a sports conference in California, Liverpool co-owner George Gillett, who’s been having quite a shocker since purchasing a 50% stake in the Anfield club, was asked if he was going to remain as co-owner of Liverpool after meeting with Dubai based DIC about selling his shares in the club (which by the way would have netted Gillett with a tidy little profit for himself).

“I would say,  choose your partners wisely” was the sentence that was quoted coming out of his mouth, obviously referring to Tom Hicks.

Who else thinks this saga is going to continue to play out dramatically?  Disappointing really for a club with soo much support.  Maybe Gillett should just walk alone.
