I read yesterday while surfing the net that there had been a breakthrough on the investment front anybody got any details? I read it on newsnow, think the article was from Daily Post or Daily Mail.

It harbours some interesting points and the fact is that were weeks away from the start of the Premirship and still not a sniff of investment.

[ sarcasm] I agree .....

We should get the investment in and on the back pages, let everyone know how much we have to spend and then try and buy players. [/sarcasm ]

No your right Leon. Lets get the investment and not say a word about it. Then in 3 years time tell everyone "Remember the 2006/2007 season, yeah we got investment back then but didnt tell anyone so we wouldnt get ripped of. Buck up mate any team that gets investment is goingto go public and some teams may well try to bump up the price. Thats what we have Rick Parry and Rafa for so we dont get ripped of.

Your a bit clueless really Bav ain't yah. I'd be surprised if you were following football for anything longer than 2 years.

As Leon says why would we announce investment right now while we are in the middle of buying players and trying to keep prices down when we don't have to announce to other clubs that we have come into some money and now they can charge us an extra 2-3mil for the players we want.

Parry and Moores have done well to keep everything going for so long. Its just a shame that people like Houllier wasted so much for iotf it wernt for that nobody would be making such silly comment calling for their heads. Now the question is can they take the club further. Im confident they will but these things take time.

On Moores, Parry is clearly tougher than him (witness the immaculate handling of GH's dismissal) - which is why they're a good combination. Parry wasn't secure enough in his role to prevent the dual manager fiasco, but I think he's earned his spurs with the GH/Rafa transition.

I see nothing fundamentally wrong with our club. In fact just the opposite is the case: we're in the best shape of our history, from a financial point of view. The fact that there is a financial freak show going on at a rival club does not negate that point. Much more important, however, is the fact that we are at the beginning of what I believe will be considered a golden age. Rafa is potentially the greatest manager we've ever had - and he wouldn't be here without Parry & Moores.

The gripes seem to be that Moores is weak, we haven't got enough cash and the stadium is taking too long. I'd reply by saying: Parry clearly balances out Moores; we exist to win trophies, not make money - and Rafa's doing just fine with what he's got; and the stadium has been a political minefield, with some financial issues thrown in (rather than the other way round).

Good post Mick, someone talking sense

But isnt there that stockmarket rule that if any activity actually materialises then an announcment has to take place. I remember reading awhile back the club having to announce that it was in talks because of a rule with businesses on the stockmarket.

huh? what has the stockmarket got to do with anything, Bav?

When any company is involved any any sort of takeover or investment it must be publically decalred.

The club declared this suring the takeover hype talk a few months ago.

I think at that time we being linked with a Spanish investor. Cant remember his name though.

That rule only apllies to public limited companies (PLCs) - which we are not.

Im not sure about if it only applies to PLC companies but but I know the club did make a public statement at the time to say that it was in talks over possible invesment/a takeover.

not meaning to get involved but i think Bav is actually right- here's a statement from the LFC.tv site when we had the spanish investment rumours. Apparently they have to make a statement and tell shareholders because otherwise people could buy/sell descreetly to make a killing if they new investment was going to come in (or not)- illegal trading.

from LFC.tv

Rick Parry today insisted there has been no change in the club's position as the Reds continue their search for investment. 
Liverpool released a statement this morning confirming they were in talks with a number of potential investors.

"Due to the reports over the weekend, we were obliged to make a statement and write to shareholders," explained chief executive Rick Parry. "It's a formality, but there has been no change to the situation.

"Our position regarding the need for investment has been well documented, not least at February's AGM which was reported extensively by the media at the time.

"The Board has not changed its strategy and despite the comments attributed to so called experts this afternoon, this is not fresh news
