Hicks, if the loan goes through, will have time yes but this all affects us.

It looks very likely that we are going to lose Mascherano because of this and who knows who we are likely to lose in the summer whilst these two are still in charge.

With the loan intact Hicks has no pressure to sell as he can just get cash from the club regards the loan payments so would demand a high price to sell, something DIC have gone on record to say they will not pay.

Getting the loan will cost Hicks millions but we know who will be paying that lot back.

The last i heard Hicks had paid out £15 million on various legal fees and design fees.

About the same it would have cost to sign us a top winger.
