  2. Comic Sans - without humour? = Gina Yashere? There are plenty of other fonts out there, it should be stopped, NOW!
  3. In that case, can you get me a discount in Games Workshop? My sone has just started collecting the Lizard Men? :smile:
  4. Confirmation of 2 attacks posted on the BBC website BBC News - Two Liverpool fans stabbed ahead of Europa league tie Two Liverpool fans have been stabbed in Naples ahead of the Europa League tie in the city, the BBC understands. Liverpool are due to play Napoli, at the team's San Paolo stadium, on Thursday evening. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has confirmed two Liverpool fans are in hospital in Naples.
  5. Have you seen who the pilot is for the flight to Naples? BBC News - Maiden's Bruce Dickinson flies Liverpool FC to Naples Bruce Dickinson!!!! Heavy metal legend Bruce Dickinson is flying the Liverpool squad to Naples ahead of the club's Europa League clash with Italian side Napoli. The Iron Maiden frontman, 52, who holds a commercial pilot's licence, will captain the Astraeus Airlines plane from Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Dickinson, despite admitting he had no allegiance to any football team, said he hoped he would bring the Reds luck. Liverpool are due to play Napoli at 1800 BST on Thursday. "I was originally supposed to be going to Iceland and flying down to Las Palmas and Tenerife, but this looked a lot more interesting so I'm flying the team down to Naples." Dickinson, who joined Iron Maiden in 1981, said he was lucky his day job left him time to perform. "People ask me, which do you enjoy more and I honestly can't say, but what I can say is that I am never, ever going to give up singing. "That's been my life and fortunately I'm in a job where I can get the time off to do it. "In fact, the airline that I work for, Astraeus, we designed an aeroplane for an Iron Maiden tour and flew it round the world, we've done it twice now. "It's never been done before, bands have had private jets before, but no band until Maiden has even come up with the idea of taking all the equipment, and the road crew and the band on one aircraft. "It's like the biggest tour bus in the world." The flight was due to leave Liverpool at 1100 BST. Aces High!
  6. Don't the board still have to approve any sale?
  7. Mill would just sell to the highest bidder, they would not look to the best bid for the future of the club like Broughton did. The Huang thing is just a rumour, at this stage they could be working for anyone. Dangerous times......
  8. So, if H&G successfully get their 1.6 billion and manage to retain ownership, they could build the new stadium and invest in the team. Back of the net! This post is in no way meant to be taken seriously!
  9. Just a thought, if Mills financial now own Gilletts shares, can they refuse to sell?
  10. Stevie Nicol - Fantastic player. As he's lived over there for so long and obviously loves the club, his opinion is a valuable one. I still won't breathe easy until Hicks has gone though.
  11. Yup, it's got to the point now where a points deduction to get rid of C&A would be welcome, we need new owners or things are just going to keep getting worse. If we can't have the excitement of challenging for the league, a relegation fight might be fun :eek:

  13. Wasn't this on the BBC site a couple of weeks ago?
  14. Latest Blog from Robert Peston (BBC financial reporter and doomsayer) BBC - Peston's Picks: Why RBS looks set to own Liverpool FC For those interested in owning Liverpool FC, the important calculation is this one: do they want to pay a premium and buy the club and business now, for something between £420m and £600m, or do they want to wait until it is in the hands of its banks, in the hope of securing Liverpool for more-or-less the £280m value of its bank debt (which includes £40m of penalty fees)? Many would say that harsh commercial logic dictates only one answer. With the 15 October deadline looming for Royal Bank of Scotland, Liverpool's main creditor, to decide whether to take control of the club, most bidders would surely prefer to wait for the fire sale. Which is why it looks increasingly likely that Liverpool will - before too long - be the property of Royal Bank of Scotland and the US bank Wachovia (which provided around 25% of the bank debt). There remain big imponderables, however. One is whether Royal Bank of Scotland can take control without the business falling into administration - which would lead to a nine-point deduction for Liverpool to its Premier League tally (and, right now, would leave it with an interesting minus four points, which is a bit surreal). As I understand it, lawyers are beavering away on behalf of RBS to investigate whether the bank can take control while avoiding administration. Also, for the avoidance of doubt, RBS wants to own Liverpool like Superman craves kryptonite. If, in mid-October, RBS does end up formally in charge, its plan would be pass the club on to a new owner as quickly as humanly possible. The Kop end of Anfield, circa 1969 Finally, here's where those figures of £420m to £600m come from for the price tag if you want to buy Liverpool before the fire sale: • £600m is what the two US owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett would like for the bank debt and their equity. It would value their equity at more than £300m, providing them with a handsome profit. • £420m would recoup for Hicks and Gillett the £140m odd they've put into Liverpool's holding company, Kop Holdings, via their Cayman Islands vehicle. It would, in essence, give them their money back without a profit. There may be some Liverpool supporters who feel it is worth paying Messrs Hicks and Gillett somewhere between £140m and £320m to spare Liverpool FC the humiliation of falling into the clutches of its banks - although the evidence of the fans' blogs and websites appears to be that most supporters would in fact rather stick pins in their eyes before handing a profit to the US duo. I doubt, however, that any of those supporters have a spare £500m lying about that they don't need right now. Which is why it's a pretty fair bet that RBS will end up owning Liverpool (for a bit). He's pretty straight talking and believable on the whole IMHO
