Gillett 'set to make Liverpool exit'

If he can come up with a refinance option then he will continue to keep control and RBS will be out of the loop and irrelevant!

 

I don't see how he can refinance as the debt is becoming more than the club is worth, and that is where I think we can at least try and help, so to speak. Ten million less in the profits is ten million more that he needs to find, which as we know won't come from his pocket.

 

However, maybe this will also flush out those who are waiting to see if there is a fire sale at the club! Anyone who might have thought about holding back to see if RBS take control might be thinking that they need to make a move now.

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has claimed that Liverpool could not afford to sign Mario Gomez due to being 'at the end of the road financially'.

 

Roy Hodgson had hoped to bring in a striker before the close of the transfer window earlier this month and earmarked the 26-year-old to ease the burden on Fernando Torres.

 

Liverpool had hoped to secure the Germany international's services on a season-long loan but wage demands of £125,000-a-week were believed to be the stumbling block.

 

Hoeness has now revealed that the real reason why Gomez was not allowed to leave the Allianz-Arena was due to the Reds' refusal to negotiate with the Bundesliga champions and make the move permanent rather due to their financial problems.

 

The Royal Bank of Scotland are planning to seize control of the club next month when current owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are expected to default on their current loan agreement with the high street giant.

 

He said: “We would have only considered allowing Gomez to go if Liverpool had been willing to buy him.

 

"But they are at the end of the road financially.

 

“The banks won’t give them any more money. There aren’t many clubs left with money to spend.

 

"Manchester City are one, but they can’t buy 100 players.”

 

Plans to lure Kevin Doyle and Carlton Cole to Anfield on the final day of the window were rejected by Wolves and West Ham respectively, whilst Hodgson's approach to former club Fulham for Bobby Zamora was also turned down.

If hicks is planning to pay off cunt and have the club to himself then surely that would be classified as a take over. This would then trigger the FA the investigate and decide if it would be in the best interests of the club, which, as we all know, is about as likely as us winning the league this year.

Lets hope eh.
