two new bids to buy the club..

[Anubis]

Do Hicks and Werner have any business connections?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

The sheer cuntishness of Hicks and Gillett just holds no fucking boundaries.

 

Days away from defaulting on their fucking loans and still holding out.

 

I wish them both fucking horrible slow, painful deaths, even when we get rid of the cunts.

 

I will be dancing on their fucking graves.

[Silly season]

BBC and SLY saying bids been accepted.

 

where i cant find that!!!

Andrew Heaton says he's been told this whole story is wide of the mark and source of it is questionable.

[lfc]

$860m - can't see him having the capacity to buy lfc, pay back some debt, invest in the squad and a stadium.

[Son of L8]

Nothing new on 5live, same fella (Roan) said exactly what he wrote - except the added caveat that its in broughton/purslow's interest to appear that the sales process is ongoing, so treat with skepticism.

[TheHitman]

Probably mates of the two cunts doing them a favour.

 

Sounds more proable.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Mmmmmmmmm. Dont like the sound of the USA group. Not because they are from there but I just dont like it.

 

We'll see.

Yep, I reckon it will turn out to be another load of bollocks.

"[Hicks] told me he was interested in moving A-Rod, and Boston was one of the places he was willing to go," says Lucchino. Hicks told Lucchino the Rangers wanted Garciaparra and some of the Red Sox's young pitchers in return.

For most of his Boston career, no player was more more popular than Garciaparra.

The day after the 2003 World Series ended, Lucchino and Hicks met at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan. The market for Rodriguez, small to begin with, was shrinking: the Yankees had already told Hicks they weren't interested in trading for A-Rod. That day, Lucchino said Boston wasn't willing to part with Garciaparra, but they would consider a deal in which Texas would take on Manny Ramirez, whose agent had recently told the Sox he wanted to be traded to a city where there was less media attention focused on the team. The Sox, according to John Henry, were hoping that should the deal work out, either Garciaparra or Rodriguez would move to second or third base.

RT @Andrew_Heaton: Bit of a mad one BUT i've been told that the reports in regards to #LFC ownership are wide of the mark

[llego]

The big issue is not if they're American or Indian or fucking Martian.

 

The big issue is: are they leveraged buyout merchants? Do they operate with as much debt as possible, or do they have different business philosophies?

[Archer]

From Wiki

 

"Henry caused controversy in 2006 when he attempted to change the Red Socks' uniform to all blue and increase ticket prices by 200%, however his wishes were not fulfilled due to fan protests".

 

Er . . .

 

Loads of shite anyway probably

[StevieH]

Over in Major League Baseball, the best owners are those of the Boston Red Sox, consisting of the group of John Henry, and minority owners Tom Wener and Larry Lucchino. They "reversed the curse" and have gone down in history for it.

Poor performance on the pitch - increased media attention focused against the owners - 2 new bids made.

[Josef Svejk]

Do Hicks and Werner have any business connections?

 

Hicks is a Republican supporter. Werner and Henry are Democrat supporters. If that means much. At least the latter aren't redneck Republicans...

broughton's going to lose all credibility if this is another hoax. can't help but feel it's horse shit.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Wonder if Bamba will break his radio silence of two months?

[Son of L8]

5Live did NOT say a bid was accepted. He said the English directors were keen to accept a bid and were considering which of the two was better, while H&G were opposed, and to treat Broughton/Purslow's motives with skepticism.

With respect he gets told a lot in regards to the ownership saga.....

[Chinandeler Bong]

On Brink of being sold according to Sly News.

 

If these are genuine they wouldnt of just come in now, they would of been the ones at the table when the club made a statement.
