A business question, maybe hopelessly naive, but given that it's in our sponsors' interests for Liverpool to be successful (see article below), is there no chance that they might provide the club (under new owners) with loans at preferential rates?

I think that's possible, and not naive at all.
It's still probably a lot more monies that they're willing to pump in though.
But I do think that if a Chinese or Asian bid succeeds,Standard Chartered is gong to go to great lengths to stay our sponsors.
They're a massive financial concern in Asia; so much so that I was surprised that they weren't better known in Britain.

I had dealings with a couple of Standard & Chartered's South African guys when I was working on a job in Mozambique. In South Africa they just call themselves Standard Bank. They don't seem to have much of a public presence in the UK although I would guess they do some business and investment banking.
Well the employees of Standard Bank told me that it was the South African arm of Standard & Chartered.
Still, what do I know? :🙂

Standard & Chartered is not Standard Bank. Different entities from 2 different countries. Both big enough to finance massive loans at preferential rates through their investment arms.

Well, well, Roland apparently Portly was completely right and you were completely wrong.
The thing is, you see, Portly held a very senior role in an international Port company that dealt amongst other things in finance, management, training and consultancy for overseas ports. In that time he has had dealings with most of the major financial institutions (with a great deal of wining and dining).
When he says something like this is so , you should accept it and not come out with bollocks satetements to the contrary.
He is a very modest chap and would not have wanted to rub your nose in it personally, luckilu that is what I am here for.

Is Vlad the elder brother by any chance?

That's what I would've guessed, it's always the younger brother who's more 'mouthy' - when things get a bit rough the older brother's got to step in to sort things out 🙂

I think I would say pugnacious rather than mouthy,

LoL @ Vlad's post.

Well it is very irrating when you say something that you know to be the case and then someone jumps in and says something as a matter of fact that completely contradicts what you have just said, without a by-your-leave or evidence and it is bollocks. (or in this case what Portly said)

It was ridiculous, the amount of grown men advertising a bank on their chests yesterday. I was giggling at every nobhead there. I don't know if I'll ever get my head round it.

How exactly is this worse than grown men advertising shite beer?

Great post Vlad. That set him straight.
I am the proud possessor of an Standard Chartered LFC home shirt because my son gave it to me for my birthday (size XXXXXXXXXL).
I actually wore an old Carlsberg grey away shirt for the Arsenal match because I just happened to be wearing one at the time.
I have never had a player's name on the back of my shirt. These days it must be difficult to decide which player is going to out-last the shirt. If you bought a Carragher or a Gerrard around the year 2,000 you would be quids-in. A Bellamy or a Keane would have lost you money though.

I've had N'gog on mine since the day he signed.
I'm finally getting laughed at less. Not that I wear it other than playing footie.
To matches I usually wear a red Adidas hoodie.
