What a pointless comment.

Whats your gripe? That people are upset the way the club has been stiffed or that we havent been patient enough with G&H or that you´re simply bored and want to post something/anything?

I blame Nanny, she started it.

I blame GBJH why not he gets the blame for everythink else :laugh:

Sorry John

Yet another twist to this feckin nightmare:

AP NewsBreak: Dubai group will accept buying just 49 percent of Liverpool
Posted: Thursday Mar 6, 2008 3:19 PM

MANCHESTER, England (AP) -The Dubai consortium battling for ownership of Liverpool is now willing to purchase less than 50 percent of the club, the Associated Press has learned.

Dubai International Capital will cede to the demands of Tom Hicks that his co-owner George Gillett Jr. can only sell 49 percent of the club - with Hicks wanting the final percent for a majority stake - an executive close to DIC told the AP. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.

DIC was initially only interested in gaining a controlling interest, but is willing to settle for an initial partnership with Hicks at Anfield, with the long-term aim of taking full control, the executive said.

Negotiations are now under way with Gillett to seal the deal.

Gillett had been offered up to 80 million pounds (US$158 million; ?104 million), including a share of future profits, to sell his full stake end his turbulent year in English soccer.

Hicks and Gillett bought Liverpool for 218.9 million pounds (then US$431 million) in March 2007, and hold 50 percent each of the club.

The executive working on the DIC bid insisted that Hicks is preparing to hold face-to-face talks with DIC next week - despite rebuffing the consortium's initial 500 million pound (US$993 million; ?650 million) bid for the whole club. That would include paying off the 350 million-pound refinancing package the Americans negotiated in January for the loan used to purchase the Reds. Initial estimates had put the bid at 400 million pounds (US$794 million; ?522 million).

The executive claimed Hicks, who also owns the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Stars, spoke by telephone Wednesday with Amanda Staveley, DIC's lead negotiator, to arrange a meeting in England early next week to bring the situation to a conclusion.

The Hicks camp denied that claim Thursday.

The uncertainty surrounding the club's future ownership has overshadowed Wednesday's 4-0 victory over West Ham, which restored Liverpool to fourth in the Premier League standings.

Liverpool fans staged a protest during the game, urging the American owners to sell to DIC.

Fans are upset that the duo have saddled the club with debt, failed to start building a new stadium and sought to replace popular manager Rafa Benitez.

If this is "true" is it going to mean anything better for the club or not? With Hicks still in majority control of the club I fear not. :veryangry

Yes, because I love baseball and I run business exactly like Tom Hicks And Gillett. You know nothing about me, so how are you going to say I'm like all Americans?

Oh right, your a :censored:

.ing moron. That's why. You don't see me stereotyping all English people in defense, and do you know why, because not everyone is like that.

Your being more American then I am right now, you know why? Your ignorance is off the charts.
