But something tells me it will be different this time what with H&G not actually being close to the negotiations.

Well if anything real is going to materialise you'd expect it to be in the next 3 weeks before the transfer deadline closes. Any bidder with genuine football knowledge will know that another season outside of the Champions League is a big blow to a club like Liverpool so if you're gonna buy the club it needs to be now so that monies can be given to Hodgson to give him the best possible chance to get us back where we belong.

Said I wouldn't get excited but hard not to have a c.o.c.k on forehead' moment at the thought of Hicks and Gillette losing the club for virtually zero profit!!!!

Don't want to get my hopes up too much but, last time we won the league it was down to King Kenny, could we have found our new King Kenny?

Taken from another forum.

From a credible ITK on RAWK, posted earlier this morning:

A bit of clarity - Kenneth Huang is not the whole story here. There are other big players in the group that is looking to buy the club but, for reasons that will become clear, their identities have to be kept secret for as long as possible. Speaking for myself (and other posters like Don Vito are no doubt privy to the same inforamation) I've sat on this story as it has developed for weeks and months. It would never be my intention to torment the forum with 'nearly' stories, and I only broke the story last night in the knowledge of these things:

1) Once July 30th passed, RBS had the legal right to call in the loan. It's up to them now. It really is that simple.

2) When I first learnt of this possible takeover, the first thing I asked my sources was this: in blunt terms, would the majority of clued-up Reds consider the prospective new owners to be fit and proper custodians of our unique club? The answer, and this from people you all respect, was (and I paraphrase). Nobody's perfect. Huang's Gang are stratospherically rich. Torres, Gerrard and Joe Cole are taking them seriously (this was before we signed him). The days of local businessman/lifelong fan owners has gone - but this lot are the next best thing. They know football. They revere the club. They will invest, hugely.

3) They kept the bid from G&H for as long as possible, knowing they would go down kicking and screaming the moment they realised they'd been out-manoueuvred. There is the joyous prospect that the cowboys will get little or no profit on their 'investment'. But the main thing is, they will soon be gone. We hope. That's why, with respect to wise and experienced posters who've cautioned against welcoming the new bid with open arms I'd say yes, correct, none of us really knows how Huang's Gang will pan out. But it's still worth pressurisng RBS and moving the evil, cunning and manipulative George Gillett right out of the picture.

Thinking the same thing meself mate, someone comes to RBS and says I don't wanna talk to them two but here's your money, you'd like to think they'd bite his hand off.

Maybe the owners really have been frozen out of this whole thing? I found it hard to believe myself but perhaps that's the case. Reading about Hicks goings on with his Dallas team, the voluntary bankruptcy, defaulting on massive loans on purpose, and the sneaky way he has been dealing from behind the scenes I kind of assumed he was up to the same tricks at LFC but perhaps it has hamstrung him completely and RBS really are in the driving seat?
