Liverpool fans stage a rally against Hicks and Gillett
ans of Liverpool Football Club are staging a city centre rally in protest against the club's American owners.
The Spirit of Shankly Union has chosen 4 July, American independence day, to protest against US owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Hundreds of fans will are expected at St George`s Hall at 1200 BST.
Speakers include former player and shareholder, John Aldridge and Bill Shankly's granddaughter Karen Gill.
Leaders of Spirit Of Shankly Liverpool Supporters' Union said they will issue their own Declaration of Independence, outlining details of how supporters can buy the club through a partnership with a credit union.
'Elephant in room'
The club is about £350m in debt and Spirit of Shankly has accused Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett of breaking promises and "a lack of understanding about running a football club".
Liverpool FC chairman, Martin Broughton, appointed in April has been tasked by the current owners with finding a buyer, but fans claim that Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett will put their financial interests ahead of the club's in seeking a new owner.
Spokesman James McKenna said: "It's an elephant in the room because you get a new manager, you get a new chief executive and you get a new chairman, and still the same issues exist.
"Ideally we'd like the supporters to be in charge and we'd like to be able to say we know about this job better than you do.
"We care about this club better than you do, so give us a chance as I'm sure we can do a better job than Tom Hicks and George Gillett."

LIVERPOOL supporters marked American Independence Day by launching their own campaign for independence from the club’s US owners.
Spirit of Shankly, who organised yesterday’s event outside St George’s Hall, said they were delighted with the turn-out.
An estimated 2,000 people gathered at St George’s Plateau to hear a range of musicians, entertainers and speakers, including comedian John Bishop, actor Neil Fitzmaurice, and LFC legends John Aldridge and Howard Gayle.
One of the biggest cheers of the afternoon was saved for Bill Shankly’s granddaughter Karen Gill, who travelled from Greece especially for the occasion.
She was clearly overcome with emotion when the crowd began chanting his name.
Ms Gill referred to the previous occasions when her grandfather stood on the same steps and made one of his legendary speeches, about Chairman Mao never having seen such a show of red strength.
She said: “Whether it’s a success or failure we support our team and my grandad recognised this.
“He would have been proud to have seen such a show of red strength today.”
The main aim of the rally was to hear about the launch of a supporter ownership scheme through the setting up of a credit union.
Leaders of the Spirit of Shankly group called on supporters to reclaim the club by joining the credit union, which it is hoped will be fully up and running by August.
Unlike previous attempts for fans to buy a stake in the club, organisers said the aim was to make it accessible for all, regardless of how much they can afford.
Spirit of Shankly has been in discussions with Share Liverpool who, in 2008, launched a proposal for 100,000 fans to buy a share for £5,000 to raise the £500m necessary to purchase the club.
Over the past 24 months, that figure has been reduced to make the idea more affordable to every day supporters.
It has been suggested for supporters to pool their financial resources together to raise enough cash for a share, or even pay by installments.
Spirit of Shankly committee member Paul Rice said: “It’s not just about making a noise and feeling better, it’s about making a difference. We want to represent the average supporter in the street.”
Mr Rice said the immediate aim of the supporters’ credit union was to own a 10% stake in the club.
Among the Liverpool musicians entertaining the crowd were Ian McNabb, John Power., Pete Wylie and Peter Hooton.
Speaking before his performance, Peter Hooton said: “We know the club is in trouble, but it will get better as long as people put the effort in. This turn-out exceeded all our expectations.”
Pete Wylie said: “This matters a lot to me. Money has become all important, but this is a way for supporters to take back power.”
Great day today I genuinely had a tear in my eye when everyone sang Shankly's name ...the hairs on the back of my neck stood up
took my Lad and his mates .......it will be on Granada Reports tonight (Not me the protest in general )

what a brilliant day, the weather started gloomy just like the gloom hanging over the club but it finished with a sunny sky and a few thousand reds singing on the steps of st georges hall again. maybe a sign of happier days ahead.
if the vids ive took are any good ill post them up, the music was great and so where the speakers, a great day.
Neil Fitzmaurice is funny as hell, well done lad.
