Kenny Huang linked to Liverpool takeover

[Anubis]

I distrust Ayres as much as I do Gillett and Hicks. He's the one who was crowing about "the worst is over" when the protests first started, and he was the one who declared himself to be "one of us" when all he ever does is set up the latest scheme to push more and more people away from going to the game. He's a cunt.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't trust Purslow or Broughton either, the best thing we can do is wipe them all out of the club and start again, but Ayres is a Hicks patsy. The fact he has a place on the board causes me concern of monumental proportions.

 

I think Broughton is set on doing the job he was brought in for. Whether Gillett and Hicks can scupper him doing it is another matter.

 

As for Purslow and Ayres, I trust them to do what's best for themselves. And I can't see aligning themselves to the current owners being in their best interests. I'm certain both will have spoken to any potential owners and cut a deal for their vote against Twit & Twat.

Considering both were appointed by G&H and Purslow is potentially closer to the owners than he tries to make out, I'm not sure I share your confidence here.

Mind you, all any new owner really would have to do is promise them to keep the current executive team in place I suppose.

Can always pay them off after the deal is done.

[Unrighteous]

imho all we need from new owners is new ground built and then any profits from the extra revenue can be used to buy players. No harm for this season if we did get brought out giving Roy 50mill, we've been starved by the 2 tossers for long enough.

 

I'll tell you what... the revenue streams from China, if we got our meathooks into them would be unprecedented.

[Son of L8]

Couldn't agree more but isn't that what we want? I mean local investment from a true fan is sound but we want to compete right? I certainly don't want to be some Oligarch's latest hobby.

 

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. That best case scenario I mentioned would more than do for me. I don't want Liverpool to be some fuck-off billionare's vanity project, I just want the club to be run in a sound, responsible manner with a few quid to go round every summer so I can start enjoying the bloody game again. Footy's been a massive part of my world since I was a tiny lad, and the last few years have carved a lot of the joy out of day to day life for me. I want the drama back where it belongs, on the fucking pitch. If that means these Chinese folk make a few bob on the side somewhere down the line, it won't bother me one bit.

Again I totally agree.

Again I totally agree.

 

See how this takeover is changing our forum already?

I am very, very fucking sceptical of these faceless consortia. Just look at what happened to Portsmouth. Until we know who the people behind these groups are, and their intentions, I'm making no judgment as to whether this is a good or bad thing. Anything other than that is extreme foolishness, in my opinion.

[4mins 33secs]

Looks like the Huang bid is doomed to fail. The Syrian fella and his middle eastern backers have agreed a price for the club and have finances in place for the stadium.

didnt see that one coming !

[4mins 33secs]

I cant help thinking that when things start getting messy with rival bidders we will end up making some Parry-esque monumental fuck up and end up with nowt.

Oh hell, never slept a wink last night, worrying about whats going to happen.

[Ted]

Don't want these Chineses.

[JagSquared]

are we sold yet?

[Stano123]

Is this just stalling tactics started by GG?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Don't want these Chineses.

 

I think the plural is 'Chinizzle'.

[Ted]

Whatever it is, it's got Dr. Sulamin Al Fahim written all over it.

 

"My rich mates will sort us out, innit."

 

Get to fuck with your faceless backers.

[Barrington Womble]

How sweet would it be for Hicks and Gillett to be forced out and at a financial loss.

 

while it would be great if any offer only covers the debt, i would be pretty sure they'll have made a good few bob on this deal. after all where's the 50m they've spent on the stadium?

Just caught this on Sky Sports News. Surely this is a stalling tactic by Gillett.

Nothing can ever be straightforward can it. They are implying the Kirdi deal is just about done, but I have my doubts, and agree it is just dear old George trying to up his price.

[Delmar]

Hocked family jewels sold through he media. The owners spinning, the buyers spinning, even Broughton making comments. So much about a quiet sale...

[Ted]

Oh god. Allow me to sum up the ownership saga in one simple shape:

No it doesn't. There are plenty of details out there which suggest legitimacy.

 

Kirdi, on the other hand, is very obviously a 'Portsmouth' style buyer, engineered by Gillett. We WILL get relegated and probably go bust if he and his associates take the helm. That's a simple fact, and I believe it's something Gillett and Hicks would love to see as long as they come away with a few million each.

In what way is it a fact, mate?

 

If he's that bad a purchaser, the board won't entertain a sale and he won't pass the fit and proper owner test (or whatever the replacement for that is called). I don't know much about Kirdi, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Can you shine some light on the situation with him?

 

As f ar as I'm aware, he is backed by a very rich Saudi family.

[Warwick Hunt]

John Thompson from th'echo just been on talks***t saying Huangs bid is the better and most likely to succeed

[Major Tom]

Do you think you maybe over reacting? Just a LITTLE?

[TheDrowningMan]

Do you think you maybe over reacting? Just a LITTLE?

 

Not in the least. Indeed, it's probably a conservative estimate should one of Gillett's henchmen be afforded the chance to finish the job he started.
