Kenny Huang linked to Liverpool takeover

[WaltonRed]

They'd hate us to be top dog, hate it.

[Major Tom]

If this Huang deal turns out to be a red herring then everyone has fallen for a massive PR stunt.

 

Fuck him and his small offices.

Paranoia strikes deep!

SSN have been way off on this since the start.

 

SSN are always way off not to be trusted in the slightest

[Antynwa]

 

Can't you just buy us lad?

[redsfan]

I just love the way sky and that are saying 'sky sports new understands that' based on emails and bitter and sad 'experts' that are really just arseholes.

 

Until Huang and CIC turn around and go 'we have no interest whatsoever in Liverpool Football Club and will not be taking over', I am gonna stick with The Times and Tony Barrett on this for a little longer and watch from a far for sanity reasons.

Tom Cannon hasn't mentioned Everton's plans for a new shop at the Park End.

Thought the deal was done?

Haven't they lost a lot of money ???

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, they have, but he is still personally fucking rich.

[Antynwa]

I wish I had lost the money he had and still be able to do what he does.

 

What a leg

[Tepid water]

It was a CIC spokesperson.

 

No, if you read the article closely, it was a former CIC employee.

 

(I may be clutching at straws here but I hope not).

The Khafari family, in Kuwait, have ruled themselves out.

Wait a minute; Could Huang just be denying he has government involvement to deflect the human rights issue?

 

Or maybe they've had whispers at their meeting with the Premier League that a directly government owned team is frowned upon so they're changing their stance.

 

Selling the shares in Morgan Stanley to the total of 327m (The price of our debt; the takeover cost) and then giving the money to Huang to takeover the club as opposed to actually buying the club themselves. That's just an idea, because even though my last post was a bit pessimistic i'm still pretty sure CIC are involved.

Somebody wake me up when it's over.

Bizarre that from the FT about empty offices and such, then blatantly contradictory about an "official CIC spokesperson" suddenly morphing into "someone whose worked with CIC in the past" morphing into Professor Tom "Please cave my skull in with a rusty shovel, as I'm a complete waste of precious oxygen" Cannon's worthless opinions regurgitated incognito.

 

It wouldn't make any sort of sense for the Chinese fella's bid to be an empty stunt though, would it? Far from "raising his public profile", if it went this far and then turned out he didn't have a pot to piss in surely he'd turn into a laughing stock. And the owners and directors test is supposed to ensure new owners have the financial resources to carry on, so someone without proper backing would get facked off by the league...

 

For that matter, if there was nothing in it then why would the yank parasites be acting so desperately to scupper it. Bloody confusing.

[redfromtubebar]

It's not a great day when you come home to read that this Huang fella may have pulled off some kind of pr stunt to raise his own profile and, to put the icing on top, our manager is trying to spend £8 million on Christian Poulsen and Brad Jones.

[Kopite Pete]

On Thursday, the Kuwait-based Kharafi Group, told Reuters it was not interested in buying Liverpool following British media reports that it was considering a bid.

They're merely playing investors off against one another to try and raise the price.

Anything can happen lad, the world is your oyster.

Yes, of course. Sky Sports News are an evil corporation with a secret agenda against Liverpool.

It's not much of a secret.

[d.k.E.]

why are our take-overs/ search for investment always so long-winded? Last one we did took an age and was shite (with Moores and Parry going round the world and meeting Shinawatra and landing us with G&H)...this one turning out the same. Didn't Man City's or Chelsea's just happen over-night comparatively? Weeks and months of speculation as another new foreign investor is courted/linked and still we are no further...wake me up when it is over

[Major Tom]

It's not much of a secret.

 

Don't tell me you believe in this 'agenda' shite too?

[Xherdan]

Where did the information on the CIC share disposal come from?

 

If this is reliable information, then no matter what anyone else says, I am of the opinion that CIC are in to by us, whether they admit it or not. There is no earthly way that they would be cashing in shares to the exact value of our debt if they were not purchasing the club.
