OK, so it's as dry as an AA social club, but the financial news coming out of Anfield this week has massive implications for the future of Liverpool.
While I'm not yet suggesting there is cause for mass celebrations just yet, anyone with the best interests of this great club at heart can at least start to believe there is now a chance that the chaos and sheer embarrassment that has become a byword for Liverpool in the past three years may be ending.
Tom Hicks and George Gillett will announce formally this week that they will sell the whole of the club. Not part, as previously planned, not 50 per cent, not only one of the selling, but every share, from both owners. Barclays Capital have been appointed to conduct the search for new owners, just to confirm how serious they are.
They will also announce that they are standing down as joint chairmen, to be replaced by Martin Broughton, a serious and respected business leader who is chairman of British Airways and former President of the Confederation of British Industry.
There will be a further statement explaining that the make-up of the boardroom at Anfield will also change, effectively taking away the control of the Americans, and allowing the club's executive officers, lead by Christian Purslow, to run the show without interference.
Finally, there is also likely to be an announcement that funds will be made available in the summer - potentially up to £50million - as Barclays Capital, one of the biggest and most respected investment banks in the world offer an interim refinancing package to stabilise the club in the period they need to find new owners.
I told you it was dry, and I know that many readers will already be finding their eyes glazing over. But let me put it more simply for you. From the end of this week, the Yanks are out.
It could take some months, perhaps even a year or more, to find new owners, but it will happen. And in the meantime, they will not be allowed to interfere in the running of the club, which will instead by directed by respected business professionals, who are at the very top of their field.
It would be natural for fans to be sceptical. I for one, won't truly believe the Americans have gone until the new owner is sitting at a table in the Anfield trophy room, introducing him or herself.
But there IS real hope for optimism. Why? Because of the credibility of the people who will be unveiled this week to lead Liverpool towards a brighter future.
Martin Broughton, Barclays Capital and Christian Purslow would not risk their reputation trying to prop up a discredited, embarrassing regime. They would only agree to come into Anfield if they can control the situation, and influence the eventual endgame.
That is why Hicks and Gillett will stand down as chairmen immediately, and the structure of the boardroom will change, to remove the farcical situation of each warring owner effectively having the right to veto the other, hence nothing gets done. From now, they can be outvoted, giving control to the new chairman and his Managing Director.
Now, Purslow will steer the ship, backed by an effective financial team of Ian Ayre and Philip Nash who have already brought in massive new revenues to the club, with Broughton overseeing the whole affair.
After paying off existing loans, funds generated from the potential Barclays' refinancing will be directed towards team rebuilding, aimed at stimulating success on the pitch to make the club more attractive to eventual buyers.
I know many of you believe it is too good be to be true, and will wonder why the Americans would hand over control of their club to someone else, but the answer is simple. They know it is the best option for them.
They have been trying to find a partner to come into Liverpool with them for the past 12 months, but their regime is so discredited no one is truly interested. Likewise, they can't sell, because basically no one believes their valuation is accurate, because of the mess they have made at Anfield. They need to raise funds because of pressure from their current bankers, but can't.
That has raised the real prospect of them losing money, if they have to sell a minority stake in the club quickly, and then clinging on to power at Anfield in an attempt to recoup their losses by holding out for exaggerated profits.
This way, the club is run properly by people with pristine reputations, and backed by a business in BarCap that has real credibility. It will allow Hicks and Gillett to eventually get out without having to conduct a fire sale, salvaging some of the profits they intended to make when they bought Liverpool (which obviously will anger many fans).
But importantly, it will allow Liverpool to progress, and be run properly without the interference that has proved so disastrous. Funding is already in place to begin the build of the new stadium, and with stability, that can finally happen, especially with a new owner on the horizon.
It won't be a quick fix, because it will take time to nurse Liverpool's reputation back to health, and to find the buyers who will take the club forward. But at this moment in time, it is by far the best option for the club after three years of mistrust and mistakes.
Purslow and his team have already illustrated that they can take Liverpool to their true level, because they have brought in sponsorship deals that have surpassed similar ones at Manchester United. Barcap and Broughton recognise that, and appreciate that the club is still, potentially, one of the biggest in the world, and without the Americans around, it can fulfill that potential.
So no dancing in the streets just yet, but at least if you are a Liverpool fan you can allow yourself the small hope that things will only get better from now on.
