May be totally unrelated, but there's an (attractive) asian girl sitting with Purslow and Kenny at the City game. Looks like the same girl from the Arsenal match.

 

Some posters on twitter are saying she's Huangs personal secretary, others are saying Ian Ayre's wife.

Great post' date=' but [b']unfortunately it will fall on many a deaf ear[/b].

 

And why shouldn't it?

Very few people would want Broughton to rush into a potentially dangerous decision, but everyone has a right to doubt his intentions with the way we've been fucked about these last few years.

Quite frankly, it's the people who don't doubt him and don't doubt his intentions that I worry about.

 

Not one single person involved in this whole mess deserves, or more to the point has earned, our trust.

Delaying tactics for what?

 

Try and hold out for a better deal or refinance.

 

Even if Huang was genuine, which he may have been, they were too reluctant to sell. Not to him and not at that price.

New overseas buyer in frame for Reds

Renowned deal-broker Keith Harris claims an overseas buyer is considering making an offer of between £400million and £500million for Liverpool.

 

The former Football League chairman, who has had a hand in the sales of Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester City in the past, said due diligence has already been done.

 

Harris also said the party he was representing was not one mentioned publicly before.

 

"The overseas buyer we represent has completed due diligence. A huge amount of work has been done," he said.

 

"It is none of the groups mentioned in the press. The ball is now in our client's court to make an offer.

 

"I do not think the deal will be done before the transfer window closes this month but the next pressure point is October when some of the RBS loan of £237million has to be repaid. It may happen then. But in the present climate these things are impossible to predict."

Keith Harris claims an overseas buyer has completed due diligence for a potential takeover at Liverpool and is now considering an offer between £400million and £500million.

 

Liverpool are attracting global interest in the quest to secure new owners to replace American duo George Gillett and Tom Hicks at Anfield.

 

Several possible buy-outs have fallen by the wayside, but there could be fresh hope for Liverpool in the form of a previously unpublicised party.

 

Harris, who has had a hand in the sales of Aston Villa, West Ham and Manchester City in the past, said due diligence has already been done.

 

Impossible to predict

"The overseas buyer we represent has completed due diligence. A huge amount of work has been done," he said.

 

"It is none of the groups mentioned in the press. The ball is now in our client's court to make an offer.

 

"I do not think the deal will be done before the transfer window closes this month, but the next pressure point is October when some of the RBS loan of £237million has to be repaid.

 

"It may happen then. But in the present climate these things are impossible to predict."

 

Last week Hong Kong-based businessman Kenny Huang - whose interest was allied to the Chinese government - pulled out of the bidding process, while Syrian-Canadian Yahya Kirdi's much-publicised interest has been treated with scepticism.

 

Harris said history has taught him that those who went public before an agreement had been reached rarely succeeded.

 

"The Chinese government involvement was always a bit far-fetched," he told the London Evening Standard.

 

"In any takeover situation, when people resort to announcing it to the media, you have to question the seriousness of the offer.

 

"If the name of the prospective buyer comes out before the deal is done then probably it is never going to be done.

 

"Look at when Chelsea was sold in 2003. My firm was advising the club and we only knew of Roman Abramovich on the Thursday before the deal was completed the following Tuesday."

 

 

eh?

The puppy-eyed devotion to Martin Broughton you get on here just leaves me aghast. The fact is, what he was (supposedly) here to achieve simply hasn't been achieved – and while we can keep on extending him the benefit of the doubt indefinitely if it makes people happy, there's equally nothing going on to suggest that he's got the club's best interests at heart or that, even if he did, he's got sufficient power to do anything about it.

 

Seeing people licking the balls of this corporate flunkey because they like the fact he helped get rid of the last manager is wearing a bit thin. But maybe that's just me.
