Club has to be sold before October or it will go into Administration.

or Torres to be Sold

or Rafa will be reinstalled as Boss
 
I havent a clue but, I reckon it may have something to do with this 20 mil penalty the owners will be liable for. Reckon they may sell someone to cover it the club ain't sold.

I reckon some of our signings have already took some of this already.
 
I didnt expect us to get much of the Masher money anyways, so hope its nothing worse than that.

Anyways, Basbombe and his devastating exclusives every week can get to fuck.

Bascombe is a fucking drip, a wet twat that deserves the bullying he got in school.

He maybe so but he does have some very good sources within the club.
 
Fair enough. I'm sure he knows a boatload more than me about what's going on but he reminds me of a nobhead hack from a DC comic.
 
Fuck all really its more like good news really, shows broughton, ayre and purslow do actually have a say. Its a bit shit we have paid 10 mill in penaltys for the last 2 weeks.

GREEDY Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have made a desperate bid to cling on to power at Anfield.

Despite announcing the club was up for sale in April, and the recent flurry of Chinese and Syrian takeover interest, the Americans have been plotting to STAY in charge.

But their plans were blocked after a legal challenge from their own board.

Liverpool fans turning up for today's season opener with Arsenal are hoping their reviled co-owners are on the verge of selling up.

But Sport of the World can reveal the pair have been trying to refinance their massive debts.

During the summer, they asked Barclays Capital and FBR Capital Bank to approach several investment banks to renegotiate £290million of debt.

If successful, this would have freed the co-owners of their arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland and Wells Fargo which ends in October.

And most worryingly for fans, it would buy the Americans time to seek a higher price for the club at a later date.

Refinance negotiations were suspended on June 30 when the rest of the club's board demanded a review of the proposals. Chairman Martin Broughton, managing director Christian Purslow and commercial director Ian Ayre have made it clear that a sale of the club, not another refinancing agreement, is in the best interests of Liverpool FC.

They asked international law firm Slaughter and May whether the wishes of the club's owners could be opposed. The lawyers advised in favour of the board, blocking Hicks and Gillett's plans. Barclays Capital say no such proposals will be considered again, but it's clear the Americans are not walking away from Anfield without a fight.

They've made it known they're exploring more legal channels to challenge their board's right to have the final say on the club's future. The Americans' refinancing ambitions seriously undermine recent claims they have been in 'advanced takeover talks' with Syrian Yahya Kirdi for several months.

It also directly contradicts the statement the pair released on April 16, announcing a sale of the club was top of the agenda. They said: "Having grown the club this far we have now decided together to look to sell the club to owners committed to take the club through its next level of growth and development."

However, this statement disguised the owners' immediate intention.

Hicks and Gillett know if they can refinance and stay at the helm beyond their RBS debt repayment deadline on October 6, they can undermine BarCap's sale process. Refinancing offers a slim chance they can attract a higher bid for their shares later on.

Their board's opposition ensured the co-owners failed in their initial efforts to refinance by their first deadline of July 15. That triggered the potentially catastrophic £2.5m a week penalty charges that we revealed last Sunday.

Their failure to meet a second debt repayment deadline today means they will be hit with another £7.5m charge. A third charge of £7.5m kicks in on August 31 and by the end of this month, the Americans' debt will have risen to an astonishing £282.4m.

If they can't pay, there is a real possibility of the RBS taking control of the club, with Liverpool FC being forced into administration and being hit with a nine-point penalty.
 
That's meant to devastate me? Fucking weird fag. I'm sure he thinks he's in the Matrix or some shit because he works for a child's newspaper.
 
There is nothing in there that hasn't been discussed already, so it's hardly a devastating revelation. Meh.

If you get your mortgage paid by a wankbag like the NOTW then you're a fucking cunt.

Do you feel the same about Gerrard ?
 
Gerrard is an ill informed thick twat, but he's our twat. I feel the same way about him as a lord might think of his mental rapist son in a gothic horror. He's one of our eleven overpaid thick cunts that I hope beat their overpaid thick cunts tomorrow.

Agreed... and we already knew/expected that they weren't planning on going quietly. Cunts.

haha, very good.
 
Bascombe agonized over his decision to join the the sunday sun. In the end he decided to do what was best for his family, and doubled his wages to 50 grand a year. Does that make him a sell out scum bag?
 
I don't find this devastating in the slightest ... in fact I find it edifying ! It shows that the board WILL stand up to G&H in the best interests of the club. This bodes well for when it comes to a vote on the actual sale. Anybody who thinks G&H will go down without a fight when there are huge profits on the line is retarded.

I'm pretty sure he's on more than that. The NOTW is one of the highest-paying papers.

I don't hate him, but I do hate the shock-horror marketing of stories like that.
