I hope you are joking.

Because the last thing this club needs are idiots like you supporting them.

[Reg]

You know, these american lads haven't told the public a dickybird about their plans for the future nor resources that will be made available etc.. so how can you say anything negative at this stage?

Lets hear what they have to say but they're investing a bucketload of money and they wanted LFC more than the A-rabs, so you can be sure there is a solid plan!

Yanks like flamboyant stadiums so I wouldnt be surprised if the new Anfield plan is scrutinised very carefully. Additional facilities are good for cashflow.

[ckay]

The only problem with everyone knowing we have cash is that a £10 million player becomes a £20 million player and so on. We'll get held to ransom. Just look at Chelski!!!

Will everyone stop being so deluded. Henry only said a few days ago "you know where my heart is" to the Arsenal fans after the rumors cropped up again. Hes not leaving Arsenal and even if he did he wouldnt go to another English team. Im sure when he commented on playing for us he was only talking as if had he never joined Arsenal. But remember had he not joined them would he have become as good as he is today? A large amount of his becoming one of the world best strikers has to be put down to Arsene Wenger. He was at Juventus.

Big wigs have just got out of their cars at Anfield Rafa has just arrived also in a pair of jeans .
The deal will happen today, cant say I am over the moon about it, as we dont know anything about them.
Its probably a case of scared of the unknown which is very scary indeed, cause in my lifetime Ive only been used to LFC being a family run club, it could all go pear shaped in a few years but if that does happen I am sure there will be a life long red willing to step in if that does happen.

Samething with me Ciggy... I hope the partnership doesnt screw up things in the club.

but, Here is to the future (Cheers!)

Money is good, provided they LET the people that know about football do their work. If a board starts to make signings like in Real Madrid, then we have a problem.

But we just can wait and see...

Full details of the offer were announced earlier today to the Stock Exchange.
 
Commenting on the offer, David Moores, Chairman of Liverpool said:
“I believe this is a great step forward for Liverpool, its shareholders and its fans. This Club is my passion and forms a huge part of my life. After much careful consideration, I have agreed to sell my shares to assist in securing the investment needed for the new stadium and for the playing squad. I urge all my fellow shareholders to do the same and to support the offer. By doing so, I believe you will be backing the successful future of Liverpool Football Club.
 
"I am also delighted to accept the offer from the Hicks and Gillett families to continue my involvement in the Club by becoming Honorary Life President.”
 
Rick Parry, Chief Executive of Liverpool, commented: “This is great for Liverpool, our supporters and the shareholders – it is the beginning of a new era for the Club.
 
“The partnership created by George and Tom is very special. They are bringing to the table tremendous and relevant experience, a passion for sport, real resources and a strong commitment to the traditions of Liverpool. Their approach represents exactly the sort of genuine partnership that Liverpool has been seeking over recent times.
 
“We know that George and Tom want a long-term relationship with Liverpool and that they also understand the importance of investing in our success both on and off the field. They have made clear their intention to move as quickly as practicable on the financing and construction of our proposed new stadium at Stanley Park and also to support investment in the playing squad.
 
“This has been an important time for the Club. We now have the right partners for the future. I am absolutely certain we have now ended up in the right place, with owners who will help the Club succeed and prosper.”
 
Commenting on the offer, George Gillett and Tom Hicks said: “Liverpool is a fantastic club with a remarkable history and a passionate fanbase. We fully acknowledge and appreciate the unique heritage and rich history of Liverpool and intend to respect this heritage in the future. The Hicks family and the Gillett family are extremely excited about continuing the Club’s legacy and tradition.
 
“We are particularly pleased that David Moores and Rick Parry will have a continuing involvement in the Club. For us continuity and stability are keys to the future.”

End of an era feel a bit sad about it if I am honest.
