what soft cunt spends 3 million on a camel? this fella must have money to burn. i don't know the facts and figures about him, dic or even hicks and gillett (sure someone has put them up) but i don't take much notice of all that, when it comes to footy, the buisness side wrecks me head. BUT if this fella can afford to throw 3 million quid away on a fucking camel, he must have some whack.

He gave away £5 billion to charity last year mate, he's not short of a bob or two anyway.BBC LINK

well anybody who can afford that, can easily afford a football club even the biggest in the world like Liverpool. I use to try and defend Moores for not selling to dic, but I've got to think now he sold us down the mersey for that couple of extra quid. Bad decision by somebody who loves Liverpool Football Club.

Mind boggling.  Maybe he thought he could use the Yanks to make DIC up there offer but it didnt work.  Moore's messed up big time.

(oldest joke in the book about the hump nanny, being scouse i expected better off you...anybody who laughs is either just being polite to an elderly girl in her final years or is really short of a sense of humour)

Do you know what i didnt even know i was writing that as a wise crack just sorta came out.

Now youve given me the hump as they say down here . I was gonna put a laughy thingy but i dont want yeh to feel sorry for me like, me bein in my twilight years an all

 

that does deserve a laugh.

and if you're being honest you didn't even realise you were doing the old hump joke, then it proves how scouse you are, cracking jokes when we don't mean to. there's not another set of people quite like scousers.

There was a piece  in one of the papers today that the banks are asking Hicks to sell but i cant find it for the life of me.

Is this the one nanny ?

by Harry Harris, the Express in London

American bankers JP Morgan have told Tom Hicks “time is up” on his huge loans and are calling on the Texan to sell his 50 per cent stake in Liverpool.

The bank is getting jittery at Hicks’ failure to raise the required capital to buy out co-owner George Gillett, who has agreed to sell his share of the club to Dubai International Capital.

This highly significant development is a body blow to Hicks’ stubborn resistance to sell to DIC, with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum taking a personal interest in the end game of their proposed Anfield takeover.

Hicks has been eager to demonstrate his refusal to be budged from his position of power at Anfield, showing up for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea, waving a scarf and singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. He went to the training ground twice for talks with Rafa Benitez, and the pair have agreed a summer transfer budget.

But there are now claims it was all a facade – that Hicks is playing hardball, merely trying to hang on for a bigger offer before selling out. He values the Hicks Sports Group – including baseball’s Texas Rangers and ice hockey franchise Dallas Stars as well as Liverpool – at £1billion, with the Premier League club making up 75 per cent of that figure. And although Royal Bankof Scotland and Wachovia financed his joint-takeover of Liverpool, it is JP Morgan who bankroll the group. They see a buyer and worry it may fall through

My well-connected City source informs me Hicks is being so heavily squeezed by JP Morgan he may be forced to sell sooner rather than later, but they are sensitive to Liverpool’s bid to reach the Champions League final and will not pull the plug on Hicks’ loans until that campaign ends – tomorrow or after the final in Moscow on May 21.

My source said: “Hicks’ bankers are getting very nervous about his ability to finance his debt. They can see a buyer for his Liverpool shares, and as there is only one out there, they are worried it might fall through. They cannot allow that to happen.

“He owes the banks, and they want him to sell up. Hicks has had his chances to raise money, but in the current markets he has been unable to do that.

“Hicks’ camp continue to suggest he doesn’t need to refinance until 2010, but that doesn’t add up with Hicks trying as hard as he has been for some time now to find other partners.

“If Hicks can hold out until 2010, then he hasn’t got the personal resources to either add anything to the transfer budget or raise more loans to build the stadium. That again applies even greater pressure to his personal financial situation.”

DIC will want to help Benitez, and thus far there is no suggestion of replacing the manager despite some weekend reports that Jose Mourinho has already been approached in a situation similar to that admitted by Hicks and Gillett, who met Jurgen Klinsmann last year.

Sources at DIC deny they have ever “offered the job to Mourinho, or met him to discuss it” and contacted a number of Liverpool fans’ groups, including the recently-formed Spirit of Shankly organisation, to deny the speculation.

Supporters have not forgiven Mourinho for his rhetoric and confrontational attitude towards the club over the years and DIC know if they do take over, Benitez has the fans’ backing.

can we just forget these two twats for the remainder of the season? lets just concentrate on the football side now, we've got the biggest game of the season coming up and lets not spoil it by having these as the headline stories. Lets just get behind Rafa and the lads and show these two what football means to the fans of our club rather than us bitching over them again.

yes but IF and it is a big IF we loose tomorrow then the fact that Hicks will then have to sell up to DIC will soften the blow quite a bit for me. 

But sod that I want us to spank the chavs then destroy the Mancs and crush Fergies dreams before being taken over by one of the richest people in the world.

Not for me TBPH. If you offered me here and now a defeat to Chelsea and Hicks selling out the next day, I'd have that in a heartbeat. Getting rid of these owners is far more important than winning the Champions League this season.

no mick. for me we're a footballing club and any success on the pitch should be treated with more importance than anything off the pitch. I'd rather see us win against Havant and Waterlooville than Hicks leaving because it's a success on the pitch. Plus the more success we have on the pitch, the more freedom it gives Benitez to demand money off Hicks and the stronger the grip the fans have on Hicks. It also puts more money into the club which may give Hicks the extra couple of millions he wants before he leaves.

Either way, I'd rather see us win any single match before wanting Hicks to leave. That's not to say I don't want Hicks out because I like everybody else do, but success on the pitch comes first and foremost for me.
