From Premiership back to Mothership?

They'd never fall for that.






Would they?

Well Downing kicked those balls in to the bins...

Ayre has probably given his credit card details and three digit security number on the first call

If I'm thinking of the right thing, then they wanted £5,000 per share. They also didn't want any foreign fans investing and prevented them from doing so until it became obvious that their attempt was going to fail.

I think they set the share price a bit too high and their anti foreigner policy lost them a lot of money and credibility.

I think it dropped considerably I don't remember the overseas restriction - but still no take up

This is the attempt I was taking about: http://blogs.reuters.com/soccer/2008/01/31/would-you-pay-5000-pounds-for-a-share-in-liverpool/

I remember there being some talk about SCM members all chipping in to buy a share, but it didn't amount to anything as the price was too high. Initially they didn't want any foreign investors, but they opened it up to everyone about a month (could be completely wrong about the delay as I'm going by memory) later.

If it's the same attempt you are talking about then I don't remember a price drop, but I wouldn't be surprised.
