And this was posted on rawk before the times artical .

VCM will post more on this presently, but there are movements - and the upshot is that EVERYONE has to get on Fat Scouser's various RBS campaigns, and sign the RBS petition. It's pitiful that less than 1,000 have been arsed so far.

As will be all over the news tomorrow, a takeover headed by Kenneth Huang (though not solely) and backed by a sovereign fund that will dwarf anything available to any other club in world football is in negotiations with RBS to buy Liverpool F.C. It sounds laughable in light of the three years we've been through, but LFC could soon be the richest club on the planet - if RBS does the right thing.

The brief "highlights" are that Huang himself flew out to speak to Torres and convince him that good times are around the corner. His group have been dealing directly with RBS - so, potentially, there might be the added joy of zero profit for G&H. And he has thus far bodyswerved the Liverpool board, meaning Broughton and Purlsow have less opportunity to derail the bid.

Enter George Gillett. His inoccuous request for a Little Guy's Bike at the training camp was an act of Machievellian brilliance. He wanted the world (i.e RBS) to know that he was back in Europe on LFC business, and he knew his jokey inquiry would be seized upon and written up immediately. He had wind of the Huang takeover and knew he had to stall RBS at all costs. With Liverpool playing Al Hilal, his ruse was to intimate that he was fielding a rival, far richer bid from the Saudis - which RBS would be legally obliged to examine, thus slowing down the Huang deal (which was set to complete today, leaving a full month of the transfer window left for business). We should, for once, praise the heavens for the deluge that halted the Al Hilal game from going ahead. If Gillett had had his way, he'd have been sandwiched between a sheikh and a prince and the images would have gone around the world and straight onto Steven Hester's desk. Even without the circumstancial evidence, Gillett continued to imply he was talking to the Arabs. And he was - just that it was a different and far less impressive Middle eastern country beginning with S....Syria. And the 'bid' was not worth the paper it was written on.

I'll post more later but let's just say for now that RBS are still tempted to believe that Gillett is about to reveal a rival bid that the bank is duty bound to examine. Gillett hopes that that will frustrate Huang into making himself and Hicks an offer they can't refuse - knowing that he wants this takeover to happen quickly, so the club can take advantage of the transfer market. What he also knows - and here's where we come into it, comrades - is that as of 30th July, RBS has had the constituational right to call in the loan and sell it on to whichever bid makes the most sense for the bank and Liverpool F.C. If ever there was a time to re-visit Fat Scouser's magnificent campaigning letter-writing pages, it's now. And it's also time for SOS to add the might of our 7,000+ members to the campaign. Get writing to RBS. FLOOD Hester's desk with letters and emails reminding him of his duty to do this deal for Liverpool. Every last one of us has a role to play here so shoulders together for one last heave...NOW!

Sounds more substantial than a lot of the other stories. Just hard to get excited when this thread has gone through 900 pages. A flicker of hope has ignited though.....

This looks a bit promising

by **red till i die!!** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 12:04 am

sound's promising i agree.
but equally it could be more spin or rumours with a purpose to spark someones interest to place a bid.
just cant bear to get my hopes crushed again.
anyone notice now it must be gilletts turn to be the bad cop:D .

Why does a Chinaman want to buy LFC?

by **Dundalk** » Mon Aug 02, 2010 12:34 am

If this is to be believed and the way it is coming across it seems serious then this could be the start of something very big for Liverpool Football Club. If there is big money behind this then this could possibly be the reason Nando and Gerrard could be staying and also why Cole came.

Surely there was something behind it. Im going to bed tonight praying that this is true. We need it to be true. Fingers crossed everyone.

Because theres over 60million Liverpool supporters in CHINA alone !
As a football club we probably wouldnt make a good investment if someones looking for profit (unless they plan to sell the club for a higher price) but in terms of marketing value and increased reputation...etc for his other businesses then LFC could be a very good investment... Theres a million things you could do with owning a football club.. but only if you have the money for it.... Mac City, Real Madrid and ManUtd are prime examples.. Arsenal arre trying to follow suit and hopefully so will we...

I've done the same for the last few months religiously. I just cant get my hopes up though for this one. G&H are doing there best to screw us.

Send the letters again to RBS. We are huge in china and the far east as a matter of fact.

Please O' lord, Buddha, Mohamed whoever the hell you are! Get rid of these cow boys. We have so much pulling power that we could out strip the mancs.

No 1 in the world again!!

Reports on SSN say its a serious bid

Also mentioned that the club has asked Torres to defer his decision on leaving the club until negotiations are complete!
Now 'if' any of this is true then the club must think that a takeover is imminent
On the other hand; if it doesn't happen then Torres has no intention of staying
