Frustrating isn't it!

 

H&G are no angels, indeed they have been downright stupid at times. But debts are the realistic position we are in, as are all the other top clubs.

Hey Chicago red, here's a song for you. Cement yourself in the middle of the Kop and start singing from the top of your lungs:

 

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's

Born on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies

I am a Yankee Doodle boy

 

I'm the kid that's all the candy

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

I'm glad I am

So's Uncle Sam

I'm a real live Yankee Doodle

Made my name and fame and boodle

Just like Mister Doodle did

By riding on a pony

I love to listen to the Dixey strain

"I long to see the girl I left behind me"

And that ain't a josh

She's a Yankee, by gosh

Oh, say can you see

Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?

Balanced thoughts? Debts are the realistic position we are in?

It's sad the imagine the shelf you could have stacked instead of writing that shit.

In virtually every recent article, I've read Liverpool FC is in debt. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being "in debt" means that your debts exceed your assets. We are carrying debt that is being comfortably serviced by our cash flow. We have a squad that is worth at current transfer values at least three times the net cost of what it took to put it together, and as a business, we are profitable and cash flow positive.

 

Add to that the unrealized potential of a 70,000 capacity stadium that we can sell out with no problems, and the prospect (supported by the recent shirt deal and the impending naming rights deal) of becoming the biggest brand in the game.

 

It makes sense to manage debt prudently - how many of us could live without a mortgage? - and that is what the club is doing.

 

But we are a long way from having debt problems as many in the Press would have us believe.

 

 

 

Hello, Here's a little song for you.

 

(Spoken)

Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.

About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down

in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the

cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle

area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the

colon, we don't know.

 

(Sung)

I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.

I'm your average white suburbanite slob.

I like football and porno and books about war.

I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

 

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.

My feet on my table and a cuban cigar.

 

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested

(oh no) no way (uh-uh)

No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense

(oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,

While people behind me are going insane.

 

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets and piss on the seat,

I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)

I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,

While handicapped people make handicapped faces.

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)

I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)

 

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song

Ranting and raving and carrying on

Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong

NAAAAH!

 

I'm an asshole (he's an asshole, what an asshole)

I'm an asshole (he's the world's biggest asshole)

 

(Spoken)

Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado,

hot-fuckin'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big

brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in

that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, suckin' down

quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-

biodegradable styrofoam containers... yeah! And when I'm done suckin' down

those greaseball burgers I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the

side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why?

Because we got the bombs, that's why... yeah! Two words--nuclear fuckin'

weapons, OK? Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, they can have all the democracy

they want...they can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of

Tienamen Square and it won't make a lick of fuckin' difference, because we got

the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead--he's frozen! And when we find a cure for

cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You

know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million

times--that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and

John Casavetti and Sam Peckinpaw and a case of fuckin' whisky and drive...

 

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know you really are an asshole?)

 

Why don't you shut up and sing the song, Chris. I thought I was the

asshole... all the time it was him... what an asshole!

 

(Sung)

I'm an asshole (I'm an asshole, he's an asshole)

I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

A S-S H-O L-E

Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E

Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay

A-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom

Oooooooo

 

(Spoken)

I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it!

Well what I did. Was I went off and researched and well.... I got the facts. I didn't listen to half a story and I didn't allow myself to be brainwashed with simplified arguments.

 

Why I have wasted my time is that no-one can do anything about H&G. It's their club and unless an association comes along with a major, and I mean MAJOR, number of fans in support to hit them where it hurts (in the pockets) nothing will happen. They'll continue with their plans unless the banks take action, which is highly unlikely.

We have a £250m loan which is due to be paid back in July. We don't have £250m. The only thing worse than our club being up shit creek is having to explain it over and over again to willfully ignorant bombasts like yourself.
