Default Liverpool FC - The continuing saga (sale agreed)
Still along way to go.....still got this stupid idea in my head that two owners are not good for the club

Their current portfolio include the Boston Red Sox

So at the moment, I don't know if this is good news, or even worse. Only time will tell, just hope they get rid of Hodgson. If they do, then I will assume they know something about football (soccer to the Americans/Aussies)

Pfft, give Hodgson a chance? For what? Benitez did good with a 'Houllier' team, yet Hodgson doesn't seem to do anything with what people call a bad team under Benitez

all you have to do is look at whos left in the last 12 months to see that hodgson is fighting a losing battle....without being able to buy suitable replacements he doesn't stand a chance

This time the idiots at lfc need to look and see where the money is coming from.

They have now turned down 3 or 4 bids from asia which was with real money, if these Americans are just using loans and refinanced capital, in 6 months Liverpool will be worse off than they are now.

Spurs supporters have been calling for his head lately, especially after they got beaten by West Ham but then Spurs supporters are the most delusional set of supporters I've ever met, they seem to think they should be challenging for the Premier league and Champions league title ever season, for some strange reason.

From one set of yanks to another. Ok then.

Lawyers believe that legal arguments between Liverpool Football Club's owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, and the three directors seeking to sell the club on behalf of RBS could take weeks to resolve.

"The usual maxim in selling anything is that it would be the owners of an asset that would need to approve the sale of it. However, the waters become muddied when other stakeholders are involved, like the debt providers in the LFC situation," said Daniel Liptrott, partner at Eversheds.

"At the very core of this dispute each director, three of which are not owners and two of which are shareholders, has to consider their duties as a director and whether they are being properly discharged. Another consideration will be the rights that have been given to the lenders over a number of re-financings, as well as how the LFC group of companies is structured, and as a result what rights have been given up by the owners."

When the chairman, Martin Broughton, was brought in at the behest of RBS in April, the bank – owed £237m – ensured that the balance of power on the board resided with Broughton, the managing director, Christian Purslow, and the commercial director, Ian Ayre.

They have argued that they have a duty to act in the best interests of the company and the principal lenders, while Gillett and Hicks have so far blocked any sale that does not return a substantial profit on their original investment.

Liptrott added: "As always, the devil is in the detail, and the banking documents will be scrutinised to see if there is any opportunity to mount a sustainable legal challenge, as well as different interpretations as to directors' duties. The only thing certain as a result of this latest development is that this will not be resolved overnight but will continue to be argued between legal advisers for some time to come." Anyway I've also heard the dippers are setting up shrines to the new owners. Just don't let the new owners see the protests where they were burning American flags.

Anyway fuck Liverpool, I hate the club and I hate the scabby fans who always think they will win the league, after 20 years. It's always their year. Meanwhile down the East Lancs we'll be winning Title number 19 soon.

Also, Spurs challenge for the league?





Oh......

They are good, but will always be an also ran, the best they can hope for is 4th.

i do beleive that Man Utd have some business dealings with the NY Yankees, marketing each others brand being one, ironic that the arch rivals for both clubs are now owned by the same corp

There's a high court hearing at 10.30 tomorrow, so I guess we'll know more then.
