Haha. Fair do's.

[Delmar]

Fixed for you. Next time Listen when he talks or read the articles properly.

 

I guess he could now say what he is hopeful for today. Especially as he himself has said that only what he says counts, people should not listen to other hopefuls speculating.

Kenny Huang blames Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton for failed takeover - Telegraph

 

Kenny Huang decided to withdraw from the race to buy Liverpool because of his increasing disillusionment with chairman Martin Broughton and the club’s board over the timescale and pace of a deal, it has emerged.

 

It is believed Huang was unimpressed at Liverpool’s unwillingness to set a general “horizon date” for the completion of a sale.

He is also thought to have been concerned by Broughton’s insistence that the board should reserve the right to accept an 11th-hour bid from another candidate even if the terms of sale had been agreed.

 

Broughton has been persistent in his assertion that he will not be corralled into rushing a sale by any candidate while sources close to the process are adamant it is in the club’s best interests to keep an open mind on the winning bidder until the very last minute.

Huang, the only contender to buy the debt-laden club who had made his intentions plain, issued a statement on Friday night.

 

In it he revealed that he had informed Liverpool’s board that he no longer wished to be considered a candidate to buy out the stakes of current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

 

Though his bid has been laced with questions over the provenance of its funding since it was first revealed earlier this month, his advisers insist his finances were checked and approved by the Royal Bank of Scotland, who hold Liverpool’s £237 million debt, and Barclays Capital, the bank mandated to run the sale process.

 

He is also believed to have supplied all supporting paperwork requested by the club.

 

Huang was viewed as a “serious contender” by all parties linked to the sale, but grew frustrated at the board’s perceived prevarication.

 

He was refused a period of exclusivity in which to finalise his bid last week – he had wanted a deal to be agreed before the closure of the transfer window.

 

He was also concerned by the revelation that BarCap had been involved in an abortive attempt in June by Hicks and Gillett to refinance their debt and forego a sale.

 

Sources at Liverpool and BarCap have insisted the departure of Huang from the negotiating table is not a hammer blow to the sales process.

 

It has been suggested there may be as many as four other bids on the table, though as yet no other group has confirmed its interest. Liverpool’s board are believed to be discussing their options should no sale be secured.

If you looked for them I'm sure you could.

[Chinandeler Bong]

READ the fuckin quotes and LISTEN to the words he said.

 

Its not hard mate.

 

You have made a claim and its up to you to back it up, Im betting you cannot do that.

[Timão]

If you looked for them I'm sure you could.

 

He certainly said he was HOPEFUL of a deal by the end of August, he called it an 'aspiration, not a certainty'.

 

Qualified enough for you?

 

The bottom line is this: None of us know what is going on, who has bid, how much, where we are up to.

 

There is a perfectly good argument to say that we should be kept informed, there is, however, an equqally good argument for keeping quiet.

 

I have no idea where they are up to, I wish I did, but there you go. I have, however, been involved in contract negotiations involving sums of a few hundred thousand pounds. THEY were full of delays, uncertainties and changes.

 

Now imagine negotiating a deal worth a few hundred million pounds, a club that is as good as broke, a bank desperate for its money and two total cunts as owners of the same club.

 

Did anyone think this was going to be done by the 'deadline'? Does it matter? Fuck the transfer window this year, our very existence is at stake, so what if it takes longer than expected?

[Chinandeler Bong]

Kenny Haung was a phoney, who played it all out in the press, He was in talks for months then when he had not even put a bid on the table by last Friday(Tony Barrett said on Radio Merseyside last Thursday night, no bids had been put forward), he decides were taking too long. Please fuck off Mr Haung and add your name to the list of other wankers using our club to put themselves in the limelight.

 

You never showed the wedge.

 

Even I, who has no connections with the club, could see this. Its not Rocket Science. A serious player will get on with it behind closed doors, moving along slowly and keeping it all in house. They would gain nothing by going to press or using PR to decorate their bid.

All this talk of CIC and Sovereign wealth takes the piss out of the fans who dont want all that, they want decent owners who act with dignity and do not boast about themselves.

I always think of John Smith/Peter Robinson, sorry not 100% on that, but when he said "“We’re a very very modest club. We don’t talk. We don’t boast. But we’re very professional”"

 

That rings true for me about any decent owners going forward.

[redrosetints]

Well you might make them uneasy about it at least, and it's far easier to change your bank account than your football club. Protesting against the yanks has achieved the grand sum of fuck all if we are brutally honest, but that's no reason not to have tried.

 

Agreed, but it's always no more than a token gesture while fans still attend games. Our protests mean nothing to them as they are aimed at their emotions. The only protest that will work is one that's aimed at something they value and for us that's matchday revenue. No bums on seats will mean the protest will be heard.

 

I still hope the likes of Miskelly, Morgan and even dear old Dave form some kind of consortium to buy us back, we can dream eh

Good luck with that.

Dates eh ? Absolute bollocks. Not once did he mention one single date.

 

Again, show us a quote.

You cant can you.

[Il Fenomeno]

“We’re hopeful – and I wouldn’t put it any stronger than that – that a deal can be done by the end of the transfer season. That was always from the outset a hope rather than necessarily an expectation, because these things can take time. We are on course, pretty well, with where we would have expected to be.”

 

“It still remains the objective to conclude a deal before the end of the transfer window. That remains the objective but there are no deadlines, and we will continue working to complete the process.”
