Puts us fans at the moment in a place where we have to support the lesser of two evils.

Its shocking

The future of the club is in RBS hands really and up to them to fight the yanks off with the legal stuff which will come from them to draw it out an try to give them more time.

I feel sick.

Hes playing his own game their given the two new bids have blow him out the water.

He was a red herring all along, just a stooge for Gillett.

This needs a few days to settle before we know what is going on theres alot of cloak and daggers going on an we don't even know whos forced this story out yet.

From now till 15th is the most important in the history of the club.

That's no overstatement, and it's unthinkable that the most important period in LIVERPOOL FC history will be decided off the pitch.

YNWA

And in other news, it has just been announced that Liverpool FC have been refused permission to build a new stadium on Stanley Park. The council said a fair every year is fine but a circus every 2 weeks is taking the p*#s

So I am confused... Are their Yanks better than our Yanks again?

Cannot, and will not, defend Ben Thatcher. Although he honed his ‘skills’ elsewhere.

As for De Jong, he’s not dirty. He’s just committed. Overly committed at times when it isn’t necessary but he isn’t what I would call a dirty player (with the exception of the Alonso tackle). He’s the kind of player that when you go into a challenge with him you have to compete. If you go into half-hearted, you will get hurt. Looking back at the game the challenges by Tiote and Coloccini were worse as they were actually violent attacks rather than attempts to get the ball.

I am not deflecting the blame, mate. Fans, the press, clubs, managers and players give officials a hard time for not sending-off players when it was seemingly justified, and in some cases for sending-off players when they didn’t even commit a foul. Match officials face a tough job making decisions on the severity of fouls because players feign injury. Look at Nani against Liverpool when he out his hand to his face, and rolled on the floor two or three times. What happened? A Liverpool defender had put an arm across Nani’s chest. Were you embarrassed? You have to admit that the worst two are Nani and Ronaldo. Ronaldo will always be remembered for being a ‘diver’.

Does seem odd that the non exec directors can sell the company without the agreement of the owners. Sounds like good news for the lawyers.

And yet the media is full of these clowns. Collymore has his own radio show and Robbie Savage with his column. I still find it amusing the Mirror gave Jermaine Defoe his own column last season. Unreal. Just because they're pros and ex pros it seems to make them experts on the game according to the media bosses. I have no idea why, most of us could do their job, they watch the match and give their opinion. Not difficult.

Yup, see you in court. This will get messy I think.

They agreed to it during their last refinance with RBS, it was part of the conditions of the refinance. The only way they (G&H) can stop the sale going through is if they can raise the money elsewhere to pay RBS off in the next 10 days or so.

I hadnt realised that was the case. I suppose it will come down to the legality of the sacking of the CEO and Commercial Director?

Aren't G&H better off under this deal than allowing RBS to takeover in 10 days?

i, like many others, both on here and elsewhere don't find it a shame about Liverpool. in fact i think it's f**k funny

Hicks (Gillett is pretty much out of the loop now) will probably be no better off in either scenario. I would imagine the present deal is enough to pay RBS off and take control of the club before going into administration to save the problems that entails and leaving Hicks, hopefully, with nothing. Hicks only wanted to sell if he could get his asking price that was anywhere between £600m and £800m over the last 6 months or so, obviously gaining a very healthy profit in the £100's of millions. Unfortunately for him nobody was stupid enough to pay that. Knowing this, he's been trying without success to refinance elsewhere to pay RBS off and keep hold of the club but as yet nobody will give him the money, his past is obviously catching up with him.

Thankfully (and hopefully), the board have voted for what is best for the club, hence Hicks trying to sack the 2 board members.

Me too.

Who do you support?

100% wire is a Bradford Park Avenue fan. What does it matter who he supports?

What makes me laugh about it all is blaming the owners for the teams poor start. Come on lads, get a grip. Look no further than Rafa and the players, its Woy I feel sowwy for.

Your still clueless I see.

A recurring theme. Every time a prospective buyer says no it comes out that they weren't serious anyway.
Why are Liverpool even entertaining them if they aren't really interested/capable of buying the club?

Its [iYou're[/i

You're still in denial I see.

i support Man Utd, so yep, hit me with your 'biased Manc' lines if you wish, couldn't care less, but i'm sure alot of neutrals are just as sick of Liverpool FC, whether its the self pity, the blame everybody else attitude, or the 'we won titles 20 years ago so we SHOULD be near the top every year' nonsense (which is also banded around by journos to be fair). When it all falls apart at United, which it eventually will do, and we end up mid table or whatever, the stick will be massive, but we'll get on with it without feeling we're victims.

Well done.

You're not funny and you're still a clueless bluenose.
