as i said before, there is nothing stopping the Yank from selling off all our players and selling the ground to a supermarket.
they would make a profit and keep the money. RIP LFC.

i could never see the above happening, but in business you do often get a company taken over only for the whole thing to be split up and sold off.

Hello all, i have a bit of an update that i heard today but this is the first time i have been able to access a PC.

Anyway am sticking my neck out here, so i don't want people to start asking questions as what i know and what i can divulge is in this post.

Basically DIC are now in direct contact with the owners in a bid to buy Kop Football Ltd, advisors who worked on the previous deal are working closely with them to broker the right deal for all partys.  Direct dialogue is now taking place and it is hoped that providing everything is right DIC will make a formal bid for the club may be in the next few days.

However it is believed Hicks may use the interest to secure his loan, i.e. meaning he is able to show the bank there is a way out if it goes wrong.

I have to also point out that dispite rumours of a rift between Gillet and Hicks this is very wrong and they are still working closely on securing their refinance package deal hence the above.

Also on a different note, these Crouch rumours have more back bone to them then you think and i know Harry Redknapp has denied it but there has been contact between the clubs.

Sounds promising that saint , and the lad who posted it is pretty reliable i believe. Here's hoping it becomes true . Not the crouch bit though. Although the writings probably on the wall for him .

If Crouch goes and Voronin stays then Rafa has lost the plot.

Don't think it will happen until the end of the season anyway Lynds. We can't get rid of anyone at the minute ,no matter how bad they are. Were going to need everyone for the final push to win the league    or more likely to get 4th atleast. Oh and another CL final to boot.

Is there anyway that we can let the RBS know directly that large groups of fans have reached the point were they are willing to organise to hit hicks in the pocket IE boycott of merchandise in and outside of anfield, and if pushed matches themselves. This may make them less keen to lend G&H money so forcing them to sell to DIC.

the last time a club trued that the owners moved the club to milton keynes and changed the name to MK DONS.

Lakes your really looking for a smack now

from BBC:
Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett believe they can complete a £350m refinancing deal by Thursday to secure their immediate Anfield future.

City observers said on Wednesday the deal was under threat, with Dubai International Capital (DIC) waiting in the wings for a possible takeover.

But BBC Sport has learned the pair are convinced the deal is imminent.

The package is expected to help the American duo repay money borrowed for their £218.9m takeover in March 2007.

It will also go towards signing new players in the summer, as well as to finance work on a redesigned new stadium in Stanley Park.  606: DEBATE
What do you think of what is going on at Liverpool?

Hicks and Gillett were the target of crowd demonstrations from Liverpool supporters unhappy with their regime during Monday's televised game against Aston Villa, with banners calling for DIC to mount a bid for control.

But Hicks, in particular, has remained defiant in the face of protests and insisted he had no intention of selling his 50% share in the club.

"I've not received any offer to purchase the club from DIC or anyone else, much less accepted any such offer," Hicks said on Monday.

It remains to be seen whether DIC, the investment arm of the Dubai government, will now pull out of a proposed bid to take control at Anfield, with the refinancing package unlikely to clear all the clouds of uncertainty over the club.

Some City sources believe the new deal, and its interest payments, will only be a financial "sticking plaster" and DIC will wait to see if there are further problems for Hicks and Gillett while maintaining an interest in buying Liverpool.

Liverpool decided to sell to Hicks and Gillett instead of DIC in March 2007 but the American businessmen in particular Hicks, have been criticised for the way they have run the club.

Hicks admitted to talks last November with Jurgen Klinsmann about the German taking over from Rafael Benitez as manager.

The owners and Benitez have also had a very public spat after the Spaniard criticised their transfer policy.

If Hicks has cemented his position via the loan, Benitez's long-term prospects look bleak.

Just been talking to a old workmate (he still works on the stock markets in london). like all football fans they have been talking about our club at work and this is their take on it.

G&H would wait till the refinancing deal has been done, this would put the club on solid ground......and then lookk to sell to DIC. This way they can ask for the high price of the club and have a bigger profit after the sale then they  would have done if they had sold it before refinancing.

what i would say is that my old work know what they are talking about as this do this day in day out.
my mate not very happy right now as he just been told that he might be out of work, my old work (Merrill Lynch) are looking to cut 4000 jobs. the last time this happend it was 6000 jobs cut and i was one of them (back in 2002) it was not so bad for me as i got a good pay out and it happend just before the world cup......so i did not get another job till the world cup was over lol.
