Hicks and Gillett Officially Put LFC Up For Sale

[Kopite Pete]

I'm not sure what you are saying there.

 

That in six months time they can say to the banks "we tried to sell" and with Broughton to back them up they could secure another refinancing. That its all a bluff really.

[Kennys_spell]

Exactamente

 

Who's benefit was he saying that for, certainly not any potential buyer.

 

Whoever buys the club will want to build the stadium and you cant enforce the building of the staidum unless you are a major shareholder in the club.

 

Thats why its a red herring:wallbutt:

 

Or maybe a Blue Kipper

 

Who said anything about contractually binding the prospective buyers? Essentially what Broughton was saying is that ANY bid without the commitment to a new stadium probably wouldn't be considered seriously.

So in Six months time where do they get the £237 Mill to pay off the debt?

I don't like cricket-eh.

I love it-eh.

Cheers mate

 

I havent laughed so much in ages

Thats what refinancing means. Maybe even with another bank. Im just saying its possible.

[Red Nick]

I cant believe I allowed myself to get roped into such a complete and pointless debate

 

Es la hora jugar con mi chica

It is possible quite unlikely though as who in there right mind would give those 2 clowns another refinance

This is my worry also - slippery bastards

[Tepid water]

Building the stadium is important if you wish to sell the club with a clause saying you get 10% of gate receipts for 10 years.

[Kennys_spell]

Thats what refinancing means. Maybe even with another bank. Im just saying its possible.

 

At this stage I don't believe it is - what do you think they've been doing for the last 18 months. They've been trying to get refinance - no on will touch them.

Im no finance expert Kenny, have they tried Bonds, hedge funds etc?

Are we sold yet?

From share Liverpool

 

The long-awaited declaration that Liverpool FC is for sale is tremendous news. As soon as we heard it, ShareLiverpoolFC contacted the Club to reaffirm our commitment to getting involved in negotiations. After all, any potential owners must realise by now the value and importance of getting Liverpool fans on board, regardless of possible future regulations on fan representation.

 

The responsibility to find the right owner for our Club is a heavy one and we call on the current regime to make the right decision - and what can be better than to give those who care most about the Club - us, the fans - a real stake in its future? We would not just own the Club, we would be the Club.

 

We will email those of you who are registered on our database as soon as we have any concrete update on our negotiations.

 

ShareLiverpoolFC supports the democratic ownership of Liverpool FC by its fans. If you would like to become involved with ShareLiverpoolFC and wish to register your interest please register here.

 

Many thanks.

Dont worry, spell bound's a complete nob. He thinks the owners havent thought about re financing and the like. Let him dream, eh?

 

The other day, he was going on about where's 100m going to come from. :whistle:

[BolshieBastard]

At this stage I don't believe it is - what do you think they've been doing for the last 18 months. They've been trying to get refinance - no on will touch them.

 

Erm, no, they've been trying to get a minority partner to invest upwards of 100m for the last 18 months while unofficially the club has been up for sale.

 

Dont you know the difference between re financing and investment?

[Shreddy]

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is remaining tight-lipped on talk linking him with a switch to Juventus.

 

Widespread reports in Italy claim Juve have made Benitez their top target to take over from interim boss Alberto Zaccheroni this summer.

 

It has been suggested Juventus are prepared to offer Benitez a lucrative contract and hefty transfer war chest to lure him to Turin.

 

Reports circulating have also claimed Juventus are now working on recruiting Benitez's backroom team if he does decide to leave Anfield.

 

Benitez insists he is not thinking about his future and is waiting to see who will buy Liverpool after American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett put the club up for sale last week.

 

The Spaniard admits Liverpool's search for new owners could decide his future on Merseyside.

 

Benitez told Premium Calcio: "The future? I just think about the next week, only of the sale of the club.

 

"I'm interested in who buys Liverpool.

 

"Resignation? I will have to wait for next week. I will talk to who will buy the club. We must

HAHAHA Class stuff softlad - missed the point again, really - I told you the other day that you should stop licking the window when you read posts on here.

[Kennys_spell]

Double post

HAHA Softlad strikes again - you seem to be suggesting that if they're looking for investment they can't also be looking for finance.

 

Bet you wish you didn't claim that you were a knew a lot about finance now.

 

Get away from that Window!!!!

[stringvest]

Kenny's wrong. There are plenty of refinancing avenues open to them, though the terms may be painful to accept, certainly in comparison with those negotiated with RBS. That's now almost completely irrelevant though. The game has moved on.

He doesn't deserve to spend any new investors money after his recent exploits in the transfer market, hopefully they will say thanks but no thanks. I just don't trust him, he used to be a good manager maybe he will be again somewhere else.

Fucking hilarious. Just read this on TIA. They've decided that someone is buying the club next week, then 20 mins later showme pops up to say he's meeting someone from Merril later as there's been a breakthrough. Although, why breakthroughs can only be discussed in face to face meetings, and ignored as the meeting is being arranged I have no idea.

Really, yet Rafa as return sales of around 70%, better than ANY LIVERPOOL MANAGER in the last 60 years
