What are you talking about? Do you seriously think the council would allow a stadium to be built only yards away from our ground? The main reason we got permission to build on the park was because of the ensuing regeneration - and Anfield Plaza is a big part of that.

Surely then the time to apply pressure was when the original bridging loan was re-financed onto the shoulders of the club, nowithstanding the weasel words of holding companies, blah, blah, blah.

I don't see how people protesting outside a bank would influence how the bank would operate; the bank will follow whatever course of action it feels will give the best chance of getting it's money. To a huge bank like RBS, protests outside it's HQ, and the threat of some customers closing down their current accounts won't really add up to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things.

I get the impression a lot of people think all our troubles stem from not having world class full backs. It was the same when Riise was here (although he needs shooting for the Chelsea og). We're not exactly leaking goals left, right and centre, and while I accept we could always do with better players, there are more pressing concerns in the team than right (and left) full back.

In what way could Moores ‘crack’ though? If he opened his daft trap to the Echo he’d just be binned off the board. It’s too late for Moores to help the cause in any material way. Even he led a march from the Sandon to the ground it wouldn’t make the yanks sell up. The only ways out of this I can see are if financial troubles force a sale, or the Dubians up their offer.

The yanks might think that the Man City deal would make Dubai keener than ever to buy Club, reasoning that they (the Dubians) would not want to be outdone by their neighbours (Abu Dhabi), and may try to milk this situation.

Why don't the Dubians just stump up the extra £80 mil and have done with it? Don't give me all this 'shrewd businessman' baloney though - if they were that shrewd they would have bought the Club in the first place for a lot less than they are reportedly prepared to pay now.

Leave poor Rick alone; he's merely 'the meat in the sandwich', the fucking ham-headed cunt.

I think all this talk of the cunts being forced into selling by the banks calling in their loans is just wishful thinking.

I thought Barry was pretty anonymous, really. Didn’t really seem like somebody that could take the game by the scruff of the neck with any real authority.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that we’re not a good football team. I’m not saying that Rafa has had the financial backing that Chelsea and the mancs have given their Managers, but, the fact that our play is absolutely fucking wank is down to Rafa and I’m presuming his training methods. If we say that we need £20 mil players in every position just to play cohesive football then we are totally fucked. It’s only one game but watching Fulham when they beat Arsenal, they played miles better football than we’ve managed for fucking ages, and they had the big handicap of having distinctly average journeymen in the side like Danny Murphy.

Actually, Parry has said publicly that if the idea of a shared stadium was brought up by Hicks/Gillett then he’d resign, but in reality I don’t think he would.

Are you fucking mental?

I think pretty much every player that was (regularly) in our dominant sides had a good first touch - it was basically a prerequisite for getting in the team.

1) Reina 2) Skrtel 3) El Zhar
