cos long term they may feel they can make more than that.

nope they aren't idiots, without investing heavily in the club they won't make any more money, they would be really really stupid to not sell, especially with all the fans against them. They may be many things but when it comes to money they are shrewd business men. They will sell, it's all being haggled out now, and if RBS, please please please, reject the loan refinancing then I can't see them having any other option but to sell.

i feel like someone has just nicked the paddle from our club after we have drifted up sh!t creek, with captains yahoo and yehaa at the helm.

how much does moores regret his decision now to but into the yanks B S, instead of dealing with the hard line arabs, and how much has parry made from this farce that we have been caught up in, sad sad days at the moment the talk of masha not staying. rafa leaving and carra and gerrard saying different things about how much it is affecting the players

i said it a few weeks ago but leeds set a horrible precedent of what could happen

You said if he really said that you'd want rid ( hoping you could claim it was just paper talk ) well, now you know he said it but your still defending him. I cant understand that unless, your a yank. Still no excuse like. If nothing else it shows his disregard for us fans. Throw away remark? So should we just ignor everytime he puts us down? When has he sort to calm OUR fears,when has he told us their will be extra funds let alone giving us sombody else's FFS!

But didnt they buy as they see the Premiership as the land of honey and a industry that will see nothing but more growth in the next 5 years.

Do you not get it? loans need to be payed back! How much will be left for the manager after the 25 to 30m repayments every year. I know this has been done to death but i thought the whole point and the reason it took so long was to find a buyer who had his own money and didnt need to bog the club down with debt. With all the wealthy suiters down the years ( wasnt that city owner one? ) how the :censored:

did the board choose this two? It would be interesting to see a list of interested party's this last decade.

League Managers' Association confirm Rafa Benitez contact

RAFAEL Benitez has been given "advice, support and encouragement" by the managers' union as the battle for control of Liverpool comes to a conclusion.

Liverpool are bracing themselves for the expected announcement this week that American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have clinched a £350million re-financing package.

And that comes as the extent of the fans' animosity to the co-owners has become apparent, with two polls showing a vast majority of the club's support want the Americans out.

If Hicks and Gillett do gain a stronger hold on the club they bought with bank loans last February, it is likely to signal another major step towards boss Benitez's departure.

And the League Managers' Association have become involved at this stage to offer advice to Benitez.

The LMA's new chief executive Richard Bevan, in a BBC Radio Five Live interview, has admitted the organisation has been in touch with Benitez.

This has clearly come following admittance by Hicks that he and his partner Gillett held talks with Jurgen Klinsmann to discuss the German taking over at Anfield.

Bevan, who is the former chief executive of the professional cricketers' association, said: "Yes, we have been in touch with Rafael Benitez.

"We have provided advice, support and encouragement. But obviously we are unable to say any more."

It is believed that advice could be of a legal nature, with Benitez's position being undermined by his employers.

Here we go Rafa ready to sue.

This will be the end of Rafa I fear wait till Hicks gets wind of this.

Unbelievable!
