Big game

[Shanks1965]

The Boro v Liverpool match is going to be really important in terms of the imediate future. We really need to start putting a run together to take the pressure off Rafa.
I can see it being tough as Boro are capable of raising their game but I'm hoping that we can complete a Hat-trick of away wins in The North East this season!
Boro 0 Liverpool 2(Torres2)

[RedRabbit]

Is Raffa that close to the axe???

I can see L'pool getting past Boro but only if Torres plays. If you start off on a good foot I think it could be a 3-nil win for L'pool.

Only coz of whats gone off the field!
Rafa will sort it for us if he is given the chance!
Granted the results are not helping him at the moment! But the uncertanty surrounding us just now,caused by The Yanks and Prick Parry is not helping!
We still have only lost 2 league games dont forget!

Rafas record stands alongside any current manager over his 1st four seasons in charge! He is only in the shyte coz he slagged off G&H

[thereyouhaveit]

his record in the prem for a so called big club is pathetic, anyway you going to be happy with the arabs instead of the yanks?

1 European cup & 1 Fa cup,1 super cup & runners up in Euro cup & league cup is not a bad start in 1st 3 seasons (and who knows what will be added to the list come May)
In answer to your question: I want to see G&H put their money where their mouths are(jury still out)or let someone who will really back us come in!
At least the football the Arabs know doesn't involve Pads, Helmets & Cheerleaders

The Observer

Liverpool FC could change hands for the second time in a year as their American owners encounter difficulties in refinancing £350million of debt incurred in taking over and running the club.

Beset by the steeply rising costs of a new stadium and manager Rafa Benitez's demands for new players, Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr have been attempting to transfer the debt, for which they are personally liable, on to the club itself. City sources believe this is an extremely difficult task to complete before the loan's due date at the end of February.

It is possible that the Americans will meet the deadline, but if not an Arab investment group, Dubai International Capital, is understood to be close to lodging an offer to buy out the American pair, probably for about £500m. Takeover discussions are thought to be due before the end of this month.

If successful, DIC, led by Liverpool supporter Sameer Al Ansari, would invest heavily in two areas: the new stadium that Liverpool need if they are to compete with Arsenal and Manchester United for matchday revenue, and an improved playing squad. Were they also to acquire a new management team Jose Mourinho, who is known to be interested in managing Liverpool, would be a prime candidate.

DIC were extremely close to buying Liverpool last February, only to lose out to Hicks and Gillett when the club's chief executive, Rick Parry, switched his support from the Arab camp to the American. The latter paid £174.1m for a 100 per cent shareholding, also agreeing to take on the club's then debt of £44.8m.

The purchase, however, was funded solely with borrowed money, Hicks and Gillett's loan from the Royal Bank of Scotland swelling to £350m as it was used to fund several high-profile summer transfers, development work and architect's plans for a 60,000-seat stadium in Stanley Park, and to roll up the interest on the debt.

The RBS loan is due for repayment next month. The Observer understands that attempts to restructure it have so far failed and the Americans have yet to inject new equity into the refinancing.

While RBS have asked Hicks and Gillett to each commit £20m of their own cash to the deal, City sources believe that at least one of the pair is not prepared to do so. Hicks and Gillett declined to comment last night.

Meanwhile, work on 'New Anfield' has been held up by the impasse over the acquisition loan, with no chance of funding being put in place for the £400m stadium project until the issue is resolved. A meeting in New York last week at which architects HKS and AFL presented competing stadium designs, was described by Parry merely as 'another big step forward to finding the best possible solution. Everyone is reflecting on what they have heard and a clear decision will be taken soon'.

The global credit crunch has made it harder for Hicks and Gillett to raise new revenues elsewhere and also affected the value of their other assets. Should they fail in their efforts to repay the £350m acquisition debt on Liverpool when it comes due in just over six weeks, there would be the possibility of the next owner of the club becoming RBS.

The bank, however, are extremely unlikely to allow the situation to develop that way. Nor are Parry and club honorary life-president David Moores, the former principal shareholder. Parry and Moores are horrified that the Hicks-Gillett deal has not thus far brought long-term financial stability to the club. As a consequence, there are increasing tensions between the Americans and other board members as the refinancing deadline approaches. Parry and Moores are understood to be open to a second takeover.

Sources in the Middle East have confirmed that DIC remain as keenly interested in buying Liverpool as they were one year ago. DIC last night refused to comment on the matter, but they appear best placed to resolve the financial problems affecting the club's competitiveness in the Premier League. A mooted valuation of £1billion has been ridiculed, but an enterprise value of around half that figure might prove acceptable, allowing the Americans to exit with a profit of £75m each.

go check all the game threads most are just a few words like 100 on pool and some with just a few posts. Threads are dead.

Yeh its stuff that everyone round here is talking about! I first heard that the club may be re-sold back in September! Strange to think that if it is true that G&H could make so much money for failing so miserably(Big Sam eat your heart out)
As for our trophy haul what have Arsenal won whilst Rafa has been in charge of Liverpool-1 fa cup in my opinion! Please correct me if I am wrong!

[domcassells]

well it's up to the members to comment on the games.

[domcassells]

mine, lol.

we had a game thread and a v-bookie thread it made sense to combine them, it's just were not using them. most game's were either at them or playing ourselves so it's not as highly used, in that respect.

Arsenal are a massive club in my eyes! I was pointing out the fact that Rafa hasn't done too bad and used your club as an example! Only 2 sides have won the Prem since Rafa has been with us!

He's not done too bad at all in my eyes either, just is it enough for a club like liverpool

I think we have crossed lines here!
We need to bring the title back to Anfield & IMO if we sack Rafa we will be further away from it!
He just needs time!
IN RAFA WE TRUST!

i was chatting with some of my pool mates earlier and they suggested it wouldn't be a bad thing not to qualify for the CL next year, so you can concentrate on the league.

Liverpool not being in the CL does not look good on the club now does it?

loosing out on the cl money would be disastrous for pool.

[domcassells]

But What's the point in being a 4th places club every year??

They must have been 1 of 3 things
1) Too young to know better
2) From out of Town(My Guess)
3) Pissed out of their heads!

Liverpool need the European cup just like it needs us!

number 2.

But a lot of your support is.

Can you challenge for the Cl and the League, not done it so far.

We have! But not recently.
I hope so but I would say that we are short of a quality striker just now to go with Torres.
We are very hard to beat but need to start winning more.Too many draws dont win titles. Not getting beat wins cups!
Rafa knows this & I hope he will be given chance to sort it!

[domcassells]

me too, i like him as a guy and i think he's good for the game. better than that cnut fergie.

[Shanks1965]

If Rafa stays im sure he will buy the "other" Quality Striker required in the Summer!
So here goes Im going to be the 1st (but last to say) We'll Win It Next Year":nodyes:
