Money has ruined football - this club I thought would be better than that but we are no better than Chelsea or Manchester United, infact Manchester United have done it right, even Kenright across the park is better than the we have in charge.

Are you safe? Liverpool will NEVER be worse of than who you mentioned. The only comparison Liverpool have to Everton is that we made there old stadium a sacred ground.

We are, wake up will you, we are saddled with debt, a manager - board conflict, underperforming team, no stadium plans finalised and we are nowhere near winning the league.

I'd have the Glaziers over G&H, not Roman though because Chelsea is a poor business model. As for Everton, they seem to be making good progress at the minute, taking things slowly and doing well for themselves, the key here is stability and realistic aspirations.

A lot of Liverpool fans I know are deluded

Liverpool's refinancing deal hits late hitch
By David Bond
Last Updated: 12:38am GMT 22/01/2008

Peter Crouch might have saved Liverpool from a disastrous defeat by Aston Villa at Anfield last night but the club could be set for yet more turmoil after it emerged that a £350 million refinancing deal is on the verge of collapse.

Although the club's under-fire American owners insist negotiations with the Royal Bank of Scotland and investment bank Wachovia remain on course, City sources told The Daily Telegraph last night that the deal had hit a last-minute hitch.

The latest twist in the Liverpool saga could open the door for Dubai International Capital to launch a £350 million takeover bid for the club - a year after they were squeezed out by the Americans.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admitted last night that the off-field problems were affecting the players, saying: "We know what's going on, but as players you've got a job to do on the pitch and you try to put what's going on off the pitch to the back of your mind. But sometimes it's impossible, when it is every day."

Liverpool co-chairman Tom Hicks promised last Monday that the deal to refinance the one-year loan from RBS to fund his £220 million takeover with George Gillett last February would be announced at the end of last week.

A spokesman for Hicks said yesterday he remained confident the refinancing deal would be concluded. He also reiterated a statement issued by Hicks on Sunday which denied that the Dallas billionaire had already agreed to sell the club to DIC. Hicks maintains he is committed to being a long-term owner of Liverpool.

Time is running out for the Americans to conclude the loan agreement. Contrary to reports that they had until the end of February to sign the deal, it is now understood their one-year loan with RBS expires in just under two weeks.

However, if the refinancing falls through, DIC will be in pole position to come in and rescue the club.

Despite tentative negotiations with Hicks, no formal offer has yet been tabled by DIC.

Hmmm.... I regret replying to you for obvious reasons.

This is a major :censored:

mess we are in, a takeover by DIC will not automatically remed things, but keep up the good work everybody, keep telling yourselfs it is all fine when reality is its not. Hopefully it will be a bit easier to get a ticket next season

In an interview with the American business network CNBC at the start of last week, Hicks said: "It [the refinancing] has taken a little bit longer than it should. But it will close by the end of the week." Despite that promise, the latest in a series of deadlines missed by Hicks and the banks, City sources told The Daily Telegraph yesterday that no deal was likely to be announced until the "latter end of the week".

The latest delay to a refinancing package promised since the end of last summer will lead to fresh concern that the Americans' plans to reorganise their debts have suffered a last-minute hitch.

Time is running out. Contrary to reports that they had until the end of February to sign the deal, it is now understood that their initial one-year loan with RBS expires on Feb 4. RBS executives are also likely to be made nervous by threats from fans to build on their protests at Anfield last night by calling for a boycott of the bank.

Seriously how long can all this last? We're in such deep :censored:

, we're getting freaking draws every week and there is nothing but silence coming from the board. Why can't that stupid clown or the owners come out and say something. What the hell are they waiting for?

The board dont coach the team rafa does. And supposing the board do sit there in front of the press and say "yep, we are trying to refinance our loans for the future" what difference will it make? they are going to be hated regardless by many.

Let's be under no illusions. It looks like Hicks thinks he can ride thru the storm. With the reaction of some softies within our ranks he might just manage that - i call to our fans to become Ultras in the real sense and get rid of him any which way that it takes

We dont need to be hooligans to get our point across. Ultras??? I think you must be lost this is a LFC forum and we are the best behaved supporters in the land, our weapon is noise not violence! Now p!ss of you tw@t.

No you off and sit on your hands and let that fat cu.nt Hicks sit on yer face while he milks your money and pisses into his other teams.

You really are an odious tw@t arent you, and just because i pointed out to you violence isnt the liverpool way but then why would you know that. Your covers blown, you say "your money" shouldnt that be our money. Just p!ss off back to a scum site you'll fit in fine their. :no

When was the last time Everton won ANYTHING. One top 4 finish since Adam was a lad. Nevermind ,maybe you will be able to sell a couple of your players at Tesco's buy one get one free sale.

They are responsible for getting us into this mess. The least they do is to come out and say something positive. Surely they can see that the longer they stay quite the more hated they'll become.

Not necessarily they could quietly provide the funds for whatever players rafa feels he needs to sign. Already he has signed our record defender and not a word has been said from our owners. Silence is golden, or as the song goes.
