Kenny Huang linked to Liverpool takeover

[Coro]

Didn't he feed Duncan Oldham info thinking he was legit?

 

 

No.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

What can stop the twats simply firing them if they don't go with their vote? Wrongful dismissal yeah but could they possibly take that on the chin and stay put?

 

 

Well, it depends on some things we don't know about, but it's likely that any sacking of board members would have to be agreed by the board. It also depends on quite what the position is with the banks.

 

It's a really hard one to call without knowing who is saying what. Rules and regulations are about as far as we can go. However, a lot of rules and regulations are pretty useless in some scenarios. For example, there is no point saying that the owners can refuse to sell, as per rule 1.2132 of the cocksmokers code, if, when they refuse, all their loans are called in.

 

Just have to wait and see.

I actually think Broughton could be telling the truth when he says he's looking for the best deal for the club, why would he be lying? He's not in bed with Hicks and Gillette, he's a neutral party so to speak and has a business career spanning 40 years. He's not going to fuck that up just to do a favour for the Yanks and certainly not because of the team he supports.

 

 

He was hired by the yanks after Michael Klein, their friend, recommended Broughton to them.

 

All this reputation stuff needs knocking on the head as well.

[Wor Horse]

No.

 

POOR SCOUSER TOMMY: RESPONDING TO MR OLDHAM

 

Many LFC fans have emailed me to tell me that DO has posted a few colourful things about me on Koptalk this week. I really don’t want to perpetuate any form of ongoing debate with him, or about him, because (a) he’s not worth it, and (b) there are far bigger and more important fish to fry.

 

But here is my one-and-only response to him having clearly just thrown his toys out of the pram. And I’m only responding because a lot of decent and trustworthy LFC fans have asked me to do so.

 

I had a KT account set up for me by DO in 2004 when I put together the ‘L4 Group’ to try and ensure the Thai bid for LFC didn’t succeed. From memory I probably only posted on KT 3 or 4 times until a few weeks ago.

 

When all the shit started hitting the fan re Rafa, Hicks, Gillett, Broughton, Purslow etc I started posting on KT blissfully unaware of how much it was seemingly despised by most genuine fans. My bad!

 

DO added me on Skype recently too and I’d occasionally pass on pertinent information in an attempt to ‘broadcast’ what was going on to as many fans as possible. Nothing wrong with that, other than I clearly chose the wrong website to talk to.

 

For example, I told DO when there was serious interest in the club from potential buyers in Abu Dhabi because I wanted fans to become aware and excited about it before Hicks turned his nose up at it.

 

I also told him about Rafa’s departure a few hours before it became public knowledge, and I told him who had told me.

 

I told him about my dialogue with Purslow and I emailed him a copy of the open letter I wrote to Purslow, which I also sent to The Times.

 

I also told him how KD had walked out of the Academy immediately after watching Broughton’s press conference on TV and had gone home in disgust. And how KD had told the club that he would not be back for 2 or 3 weeks and wanted to think about his future. That story ended up being picked up by the BBC, which was good in the sense that many LFC fans ended up learning about the utterly shameful way the King had been treated.

 

And I passed on some transfer gossip to him as and when I heard it, because I was terrified that Hicks, Gillett and Purslow were planning to sell our crown jewels in order to raise funds to service all the debt.

 

As I said above, my intent was for this information to reach as many fans as possible in order for them to gain a wider understanding of what was going on. But I should have clearly chosen a different forum though, as it pissed off a lot of anti-KT LFC fans and so I stopped – and held my hands up and unconditionally apologized.

 

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, DO has been making posts about me this week on KT that may have referenced or alluded to some/all the above. Fine… OK… Move on… Whatever…

 

But apparently he’s also posted a few things which are NOT true:

 

“[Mike] also suggested changing his username on KopTalk but again, I said why should he. I basically told him to man up.”

“Of late I also think I offended Mike by refusing to get involved in a smear campaign against Christian Purslow.”

“I started to doubt Mike because of his dislike for Purslow. Things didn’t add up. And because I stood up for you guys and refused to see the site used as a tool to attack, I believe Mike has taken his bat and ball home.”

“I wish Mike well but I expected better. But the truth of the situation is that these developments will finally enable me to talk about a lot of things that I have been unable to. While we have lost a contributor, Mike’s information of late has been pretty poor.”

Silly stuff…

 

It also appears that DO has just this week (coincidentally?) opened some form of dialogue with Purslow because he also just posted on KT:

 

· Dunk: “I received an email from CP this evening that would make MJ look a fool”

 

· Dunk: “you will love what comes out about MJ and CP over the coming months, Dunk knows best, i made the right call”

 

Hmmmm…

 

Finally, as I mentioned above, I hope this is the end of the matter and I hope DO refrains from posting any more rubbish about me and concentrates on what his members pay him to write about.

 

I’m sure it’s just slipped his mind that I have many saved Skype conversations and emails from him which would make very interesting reading for his subscribers and fans.

 

And I too could “write a book” but no one would be interested…

 

Just as I am not interested in wasting any more time on this…

 

Apologies, I thought that was him. That's why I wasn't sure.

[Iantn]

Also, I'm going to say it, I may be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 but I reckon this particular Huang deal has been in the offing for a long time,

 

I think I read somewhere over the last few days that Kenny was brought back to the table by Broughton, or whoever, speaking to previous interested parties and about whether they'd re-look at it.

 

From reading between the lines over the last 24 hours or so I think this deal has only gone through the media as Gillet is trying to stall it. Broughton did say it would all be done on the quiet like.

The more this goes on, the more it's got David Bick's slimy mitts on it.

 

Why don't you fuck off to the club you support instead of trying to make a mint off us, you knobhead.

Yeah I wouldn't put it passed him like, I remember Broughton saying that and pretty much agreed with it.

 

It's a shame if he has done that but hopefully it doesn't stall any bid.

 

I don't even want the unlimited funds (Although they'd be nice) Just a stable future with decent owners is all I want.

 

And selling to buy can fuck off!

[hamstrung]

Evans is so far out the loop it's scary. Didn't he feed Duncan Oldham info thinking he was legit?

 

(I may have assumed the person who wrote the article posted in the Oldham thread was Evans, all their online handles confuse me)

 

Mike Jeffries.

I seriously don't think we need unlimited funds. Our previous usual around 20 million would be sound.

[Mike84]

Our new saviour being named kenny is just too much of a coincidence. Let's hope so anyway.

[Wor Horse]

I seriously don't think we need unlimited funds. Our previous usual around 20 million would be sound.

 

Yeah but if it's there I'd expect Roy to spend it, and so will the owner.

 

We'll end up just spunking 50 million on Ageuro or something.

Whats his facebook page?

Think it's private mate, but you can search him on Twitter too.

They've locked the takeover thread on RAWK. Haha!

The layout and design of this forum might be a bit on the ropey side, but it is streets ahead in every other way.

Why did somebody sneeze :biggrin:

[Wor Horse]

They do seem incapable of debating stuff over there though, be it the mods steaming in banning or all the regulars ganging up on someone who says anything different.

 

It's a ludicrous forum, I'd love to know who owns/runs it though.

It'd be a damn shame if that was to happen. And by damn shame I obviously mean from me livers point of view.

It's gone quiet. after about 2 days of constant news breaking.

 

It'll get exciting again in about an hour when tomorrow's article's go up online.

 

Here's one from Yahoo though:

 

A takeover of Liverpool appears increasingly imminent after the club and a number of interested parties alerted the Premier League to a possible change in ownership.

Under tougher new rules on club ownership announced by the Premier League on Tuesday night in response to Portsmouth's financial meltdown, all prospective owners are obliged to give the league 10 days' notice of a takeover and prove they have the funds to sustain the club.

It is understood Liverpool and a number of parties contemplating a takeover - including Chinese businessman Kenny Huang - have already contacted the Premier League to alert them a change of ownership could be imminent.

Under the rules, the Premier League will have to be given 10 days' notice of any takeover, and the prospective owners will be required to have a face-to-face meeting with league chiefs to convince them they have enough money for the season to come.

Other rule changes will see clubs having to provide evidence every quarter that they are up to date with tax payments to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs - and they will give permission for HMRC to give details on any non-payment directly to the league.

The former 'fit and proper persons test' has been renamed as the 'owners and directors test' and toughened up. Now anyone barred from other sporting organisations or competitions will not be allowed to be a club director.

The strengthening of the regulations is an attempt to reduce the risk of another crisis similar to that suffered by Portsmouth, who went into administration last season and were subsequently relegated.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "We believe we have the measures now in place, the early warning system, that will reduce the risk of having a repeat of the Portsmouth situation.

"The objective of the Premier League is to reduce risk and try to prevent the worst happening but we can't eliminate risk entirely as that would involve us interfering as shadow directors in the running of clubs.

"There was reputational damage with the situation we had with Portsmouth. Clubs get tired of football being called a financial basket case. There was an element of gross mismanagement [with Portsmouth] and people have understood it was the exception rather than the rule."
