Roy {ed's note - yes mate, many times. What is your point?}
If you have been to Dubia many times then you would know women are not treated as second class citizen . like in every group of people there will be an idiot or two who still live 100 years in the past, we have many of them in this country.
There are few things are done wrong in Dubia, behind closed doors and in public, but I can assure you the rate of domestic abuse and domestic violence is much much lower (and I am talking %) than over here , to me this is what respecting women is about - not about what they wear , their clothes is their prerogative
Can we move on now, I am worried Blair Mayne may start developing fantasies about our club been bought by an Iranian Sheikh, and that it happened few months back but its a secret.
Roy
You took the words right out of my mouth/ post Roy!
Give me all day tomorrow and i will have people on here convinced that Iranian Leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (yes i did google it Roy) has put in a substantial offer for the Club.

Thankfully, most people move on and learn and those kinds of things are starting to be eradicated over here.}"
And I don't think you "This particular Ed" have moved on much, I think given the chance you would change the Bananas to Falafel and replace your target from a black player to that of an arabic / muslim origin . . Have you been to Dubia , have you conversed with any of the arabs living there?

That wasn't me that was Bill Belichick who is good at videotaping i tried to warn him he'd be caught. I hear when he gives up Head Coach job at the Patriots he's opening a porn company.

We got a squad to compete i believe wiv the rest of the top four. injuries, and bad luck cost us. we lost to many first teamers last year. we have top quality youth coming through, and a manger who knows how to put an arm around a shoulder when needed, he may not be as tactical as rafa but he has something diff, maybe the english spirt will be back at lfc. jonjo, dani, mavinga, jay, ngog, eccleston, amoo, kelly, babel, lucas they are all gonna get better we will soon be where we belong. keep faith 2011-2012 will be big! !

A Sky News Sport presenter when referring to the press conference for Houllier becoming Villa manager has just seemed to suggest that he was no longer liked at Liverpool or by their fans. I thought that was quite harsh. O.K some of the football was quite poor and negative, but I wouldn't say he was a total failure.
I don't think he was a failure at all! Did he not win 5 trophies in a 12 month period ( Inc a cup treble)?. Rafa did win the CL which was pretty special, but you need to go back to Daglish for any real success since.
10 Sep 2010 22:00:47
{ed's note - like I said in reply to another post, I don't believe any person with the money to afford the club would be a decent owner.}
what do you suggest, a buyout by the fans? Similar to Barcelona? Election of a Club President and Board every 4/ 5 years? Barcelona have debts too (£422m).
I still bet you will 'raise a glass' if we can rid the club of H&G.
I think what most Liverpool fans seem to forget is that it is now irrespective who buys Liverpool now! If we get a new owner who pays say £500 million for the club & then builds a new stadium. These new owners will only be investing in the hope of greater returns in future. Liverpool FC is now only an asset to add to their portfolio. I think we need to understand this & realise that the chances of getting someone who actually cares for the club like us fans obviously do are pretty slim! So, yes! A buyout by the fans would be the best solution for our club & the sooner the better before a big club really suffers!

To much talk on the take over, we should concentrate on the football being played.
Our squad is in good shape, we have got a more balanced squad now then last year.
if babel can furfill his potential and joe cole can find the form that made him 1 of Englands most exciting footballers wiv stevie and nando, and the legend that is carra we will be pushing for the 19th.
ed wot u think?

TIME TO MOVE FORWARD
Like any fan I am hoping for a change in ownership and I hope the new custodians can bring the real change we need.
Look at ticket prices, we should charge more than any of our rivals this will help in a number of ways. .
1 INCREASE REVENUE
2 DISCOURAGE AND OUT PRICE LOWER SOCIO ECONOMIC GROUPS, WHO SPEND LITTLE ON CLUB MERCHANDISE AND SING AND SHOUT LOUDLY DURING THE GAME.
Bring out a new range of Kits every year
Build new stadium away from run down urban area.
I travel from London nearly every fortnight and I can tell you these changes need to be made LFCs fanbase needs to be moved away from the rabble oiks and establish a more affluent forward thinking fanbase.
ARE YOU SERIOUS, its folk like you that we don't need at the ground

I've been a follower of this site for quite a while now but the rubbish that gets thrown up here is quite amazing.
While the Prince of Kolkata is indeed Sourav Ganguly or affectionately known as "DADA" to us all, no way is he in any type of negotiations or thinking of buying our
beloved club.
He is presently now down in South Africa commenting in the Champions League T20. .
if anybody has seen the MI vs Highveld Lions match, he'll know that.
So stop spreading false rumours. .
p.s. he is rich but not a billionaire. .

The 6th October could be a date for celebration as far as Liverpool supporters are concerned, with George Gillett and Tom Hicks set to relinquish control of the club by that particular deadline.
However, the bad news is that the departure of the American duo doesn't automatically mean that new owners will take control and that the Royal Bank of Scotland have now placed the club's loans into something called its toxic-assets division.
There appears to be no prospect of Gillett and Hicks refinancing at Anfield, although Martin Broughton and the rest of the Liverpool board are still looking for a potential buyer to come and get the Merseyside club out of this very ugly mess.
RBS are hoping that they won't have to take control of the club, although Gillett and Hicks are thought to want £800 million before they walk away for good and that's apparently been something that's proved a sticking point so far.

This may be a little controversial but would really like everones opinion on this matter. . .
Alot of people on here are raving about Turan and how he would be a great buy im sure most people saying this are going on what they have seen on youtube or how good he is on football manager (and man he is good on football manager) But most people i susspect are going on the fact that king Kenny is raving about him. . .Now this is where i hate to say a bad word about such a legend but this is the same king Kenny that signed a load of utter garbage whilst manager at Newcastle can anyone remember Stéphane Guivarc'h Alessandro Pistone Andreas Andersson? No? Temuri Ketsbaia (not for kicking lumps out of an advertising board. .for being a good footballer?) No? Yes he made a great signing in Gary Speed but he was already a good premier league player and Everton captain! and Shay Given a player who he knew from when he was at Blackburn! but this is a man who decided to sell David Ginola and Les Ferdinand and bring in a 36 year old Ian Rush a 34 year old John Barnes to replace them. . Now ask yourself the question how good is Arda Turan really? ? ?
10 Sep 2010 20:33:13
I wish the take over was complete, although i don't agree with all this money in football. The game is already ruined, what with most clubs in debt and a few being kept afloat by overseas investors. Players wages need to be halved and ticket prices reduced. The writing is on the wall, have you noticed all the empty seats at premier league grounds. We talk about a new stadium, would we be able to fill it at the moment. I doubt it. YNWA

I 'm hoping neither of you is our original editor who we got to know; he would n't post assumptions and rubbish.
Can you tell me how do you know that SHEIKH MAKTOUM does not have any respect for women? as a matter of fact he has a lot of respect for everyone, I know that because unlike you I lived there (If you did you would know otherwise), during his generation freedom and women's right have moved on to the better by miles, its still not ideal but he is limited by the culture and others around him. I think there are at least 2 female ministers and the head of the main university is a woman . With regard to Burka and the like, have any of you stopped and thought that their women may actually want to wear it and its not enforced on them .
I would love it if the SHEIKH owned the club, we will have "honesty and respect" that have been missing for more than 10 years at our club.

Talking about new owners.
I would welcome sheikh mohammad or the ambanis. These guys are known worldwide and are really credible. Both are really commited to their businesses.i am from india and can say if mukesh ambani takes over I can see liverpool footclub going up the notches. He owns the Ipl team mumbai indians and has invested heavily in them , gettin top quality players, coachin staff, academies etc. His wife visits every game and tat shows their commitment to their business. SheikH mohammad is known to be a liverpool fan. You can't ask for more. But what you can expect from these guys from the middle east is state of the art quality. And we have a stadium plan , and am sure they ll make a marvellous structure. They are wel known for their construction in abu dhabi . Eg being burj dubai. Agreed all this is wishful thinkin but this is what our legendary club needs to bring us back to the top and keep us there. . What are your thoughts ed? {ed's note - I don't want either personally.}
WHY ED? OBVIOUSLY HE IS A SHREWD BUSINESSMAN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SHEIKH IS NOT BE KEPT INFORMED OF THE TAKEOVER SITUATION AT LIVERPOOL.
IN REPLY TO ANOTHER POST ON LFC BANTER YESTERDAY I SAID OF SHEIKH MAKTOUM - AT LAST! A GENTLEMAN WITH HONOUR. A MAN THAT TREATS ALL PEOPLE WITH RESPECT. A LIVERPOOL FAN. ALSO A MASSIVELY WEALTHY MAN. IN MY OPINION EVERYTHING THE NEW CUSTODIAN OF THE CLUB SHOULD BE. {ed's note - doesn't treat women with respect does he? I am sorry but I find the thought of either owning the club extremely distasteful, but I doubt there is anyone with the money to afford the club that would be an agreeable person.}
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WOMENS RIGHTS - I.E THE VOTE, THE BURKHA AND THE PENAL SYSTEM TOWARDS WOMEN IN UAE/ DUBAI (i thought it was more liberal in Dubai?) OR HIS PERSONAL OPINION OF WOMEN? Tell me it may change my opinion. Thanks.
{Different Editor's Note: There are still many, many restrictions on the rights of women in UAE and Dubai. These limit work opportunities and to a certain extent their freedom. It rather depends how desparate you are for a sugar daddy.}
To the various Ed's - So for you, generally, you would be against any takeover bids from for example Dubai/ UAE, Sharjah, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Malaysia (womens rights and human rights etc.)?
The interest from India seems to be linked with businessman who own Indian premier League cricket franchises, but with rumours of corruption linked to the recent 'spot betting' scandal do you feel we should be wary of takeovers from those names suggested above and in the press? ( i don't want Liverpool FC getting involved in this - players or club officials)
That seems to only leave bids from China ( the Haung bid now looks like a publicity stunt, also human rights) and USA (do we really want to be taken over again by a leveraged buyout?).
Who else? Anybody clear of these factors? {ed's note - like I said in reply to another post, I don't believe any person with the money to afford the club would be a decent owner.}

Mukesh ambani is the 4th richest businessman in the world. One who has taken forward his father's company reliance to great heights. And he is surely not one who can even dream of getting into wrong deals and betting. He has a reputation to maintain. The only problem according to my friends here is that he comes from a state known for rich businesses and businessmen. And they come to such a state as they are very stingy. So my friends suspect that although he would build the new stadium, he might not really invest heavily on players year in and year out. But to me, especially after seeing the handling of mumbai indians. I can say he ll do a great job. Let me state a fact. This team were last in the first year of the ipl when everythin was new. Next year wasnt all that great too. This dint go too well with him. What did he do? He dint go the man city way, but setup academies to identify unknown talent, the master sachin tendulkar was consulted , experienced consultants were recruited. And finally billions were spent. Now the team is in good stead. And doesn need to be invested on players cos they have such a balance. Isnt this what liverpool have been looking for ?
Reply - i was just saying that there are rumours that corruption and betting scandals (some very peculiar results) have recently affected the IPL

"Insua is on loan for a year, his contract expires in June 2011, I really don't think we have anything to bargain with.
yes on loan to galla you nugget if they like him we give him to them + 8 million Doh"
Again name calling when the original posters are far more sensible/ knowledgeable .
Insua 's value was 5m a month ago, a year later when he is just over 6 months near the end of his contract the value will depreciate by a lot, if we are to get a chance to sell him next year we will be lucky to get 2->3 m (if we lucky)

"10 Sep 2010 16:37:31
Why did gerrard and torres stay? ?"
Why? Same reason Turan wants to come to LFC. Same reason Cole chose LFC over a London club. Same reason there are 150 million fans worldwide (including millions who will never step foot on English soil). Same reason LFC is just about the most-watched club on terrestrial TV these days (by neutrals), per game shown. LFC still has an indefinable magic, just as the people of Liverpool do, for all their faults- maybe its all those Irish roots, who knows. Maybe its partly down to to the unique atmosphere created at Anfiled- something which I hope is recreated at the new stadium.
In the 80s LFC projected invincibility and success gained as much by commitment and courage as by management or finance (remember that phrase- 'never write off Liverpool'?).
Maybe in more recent times Liverpool have come to represent a dogged refusal to give up the struggle for success, against competitors with bigger financial backing and more expensive squads. When the city itself was struggling against unemployment and deprivation in the 80s, the club was all-conquering. Ironically, nowadays the city is not so badly affected by those problems, but the fortunes of the club have fallen from their previous dizzy heights.
But fingers crossed, a time is coming when the fortunes of club and city will prosper at the same time. It looks like finally we will have the financial backing to level the playing field.

Blair mayne. Dude. Am the 2nd guy you are talking about. Well, I guess if you read my post again you would find that I am one who feel you talk sense in what ever you say , be it your own post or a comment. I was disagreeing with the guy who was slaggin you off. In fact your sarcasm is amusin too. Especially when its in reply to crap that others post. What I wanted to point is may be you could reduce the degree of it when it comes to certain posts which make little more sense. But now I appreciate you clarified. Cheers mate.
Btw is tat your real name or one for this site ?

also blair mayne ive never herd anyone talk so much crap as you, sorry i'm sure ur a nice bloke but stop posting rubbish and copy pasting from other sites, and just making stuff up, this site used to be so much better with "actual"(ok maybe lies) inside information!
read the stuff about the grs in machester, now this could be rubbish, but really worries me that brouguton(chelski) and this chief of grs/ rbs(manure) are dealing with our club. probably s* t but im worried.
It's you who's talking crap now mate IF you honestly think it matters what team Broughton and the CEO of RBS support would have any implications on what happens to LFC.
Who cares what team they support? Do you think they are thinking about the clubs they support when they are looking at the accounts at Anfield?
But i will admit i am worried but it's nothing to do with what team they support.

I'd like to correct myself steve mcmanaman owns race horses, not horse racers. however he did try that once but got sick of sharing his bed with midgets
steve mcmananaman currently owns no racehorses has he will go into partnership with robbie fowler wen he returns from australia.
the pair did own horses in the past but they had little joy with them.so when they buy more jonjo oneil will train them and ap mcoy will ride them as it is well known the pair are great friends of mcoy.
macca is currently to busy with tv commitments to buy horses at present

I disagree. I think blaire mayne talks sense many a time. He along with sharkey do come up with some good posts I should say. However I dislike his attitude towards other posts. I mean his comments on a crap post are really funny too but he does tend to comment the same way on some meaningful posts, cos he doesn agree with it.
When i don't agree with meaningful post i don't want to sound arrogant or ignorant which i agree it looks like it sometimes.
But trust me the last thing i am is arrogant or ignorant most of the response's to the meaningful posts are meant to be full of sarcasm because as you have both graciouslly said and i agree "I AM FULL OF CRAP"

"Like them or not they are still our owners! !
Show some loyalty! I prefer them in charge than some faceless corporate bank.
H&G got Rafa out and bought Torres etc and have always made funds avialable.
It was the credit crunch that stopped the stadium being built not the owners.
I think they should fight this in court ITS ABOUT PRINCIPLE and if it leaves the club in limbo for years so be it, this is a fight worth winning.

Are you for real? "If it leaves the club in limbo for years its worth it"? WTF??
Seriously Ed, you ought to consider banning contributions from this IP address or with this user name. No-one except a Man U fan would seriously suggest that its better to leave the club financially crippled for years so H+G can continue the fight for more cash. What an utter, utter plonker
However honorable their original intentions (and that's arguable), they are now seriously damaging a great club and as a side effect, the town and people that gave birth to that club too.
But you're probably looking to annoy people by posting rubbish, right? Sad, sad, sad. . .

"Roy Hodgson believes he inherited a squad that was big on numbers, but lacking quality in depth when he succeeded Rafael Benitez as Liverpool manager. Hodgson has already shipped out a number of squad players including Alberto Aquilani, Philipp Degen, Nabil El Zhar and Emiliano Insua.tde"
i think liverpool have to get the wage bill down because they have 60million hole in the accounts since champions leg money left the club.
liverpool May have to lose 9 high wage player and replace them with cheaper earners. This could be the begining of the end if we don't get champions-leg football
Plus liverpool is unlikely to see big name stars at the club because of the money situation.
Instead its bargin basement players who will sign for the club under the new reduced wage structure.
looks like liverpool may have to start living within their means.

I read one of ed's post which says url's can be posted here. So why don those who are talking about the so called german arms dealer post a link tat supports their point tat he is indeed plannin a bid or somethin in those lines. Cos otherwise there s absolutely nothing about such a person, all I read about him was he was some emperor of germany. How do you expect him to be alive now you fools. All you muppets are a bunch of deluded losers. Its a pity you call yourself liverpool fan or is it the work of some pesky man utd fans out here who wanna ruin an otherwise great site. . You guys rather sleep in your couch and dream about queen elizabeth taking over the club. That would be way better.

I would welcome sheikh mohammad or the ambanis. These guys are known worldwide and are really credible. Both are really commited to their businesses.i am from india and can say if mukesh ambani takes over I can see liverpool footclub going up the notches. He owns the Ipl team mumbai indians and has invested heavily in them , gettin top quality players, coachin staff, academies etc. His wife visits every game and tat shows their commitment to their business. SheikH mohammad is known to be a liverpool fan. You can't ask for more. But what you can expect from these guys from the middle east is state of the art quality. And we have a stadium plan , and am sure they ll make a marvellous structure. They are wel known for their construction in abu dhabi . Eg being burj dubai. Agreed all this is wishful thinkin but this is what our legendary club needs to bring us back to the top and keep us there. . What are your thoughts ed? {ed's note - I don't want either personally.}
WHY ED? OBVIOUSLY HE IS A SHREWD BUSINESSMAN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SHEIKH IS NOT BE KEPT INFORMED OF THE TAKEOVER SITUATION AT LIVERPOOL.
IN REPLY TO ANOTHER POST ON LFC BANTER YESTERDAY I SAID OF SHEIKH MAKTOUM - AT LAST! A GENTLEMAN WITH HONOUR. A MAN THAT TREATS ALL PEOPLE WITH RESPECT. A LIVERPOOL FAN. ALSO A MASSIVELY WEALTHY MAN. IN MY OPINION EVERYTHING THE NEW CUSTODIAN OF THE CLUB SHOULD BE. {ed's note - doesn't treat women with respect does he? I am sorry but I find the thought of either owning the club extremely distasteful, but I doubt there is anyone with the money to afford the club that would be an agreeable person.}
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WOMENS RIGHTS - I.E THE VOTE, THE BURKHA AND THE PENAL SYSTEM TOWARDS WOMEN IN UAE/ DUBAI (i thought it was more liberal in Dubai?) OR HIS PERSONAL OPINION OF WOMEN? Tell me it may change my opinion. Thanks.
{Different Editor's Note: There are still many, many restrictions on the rights of women in UAE and Dubai. These limit work opportunities and to a certain extent their freedom. It rather depends how desparate you are for a sugar daddy.}

I have to say all this talk about Markus von Hohenzollern-Viet's bid for Liverpool worries me. It all sounds a bit unbelievable and maybe a bit dodgy. It could be that it is new name that I have previously not heard of unlike your Sheikh Maktoums and Larry Ellison.

"As I always mention, Liverpool attracts me because of their tradition, " he said last year.
"In Europe, I am a Liverpool supporter, so if I go to play in Europe, I would like to play for them.
"My dream has always been to play for one of the top European clubs, but you shouldn't make concrete plans in your life because sometimes these plans cannot be achieved.
"This is my dream, but for now I'm just working on my football."
Now before every one starts sayin stop takin stuff off LFC all i want to say is after reading this liverpool would be mad not to buy TURAN this mesage is sayin COME GET ME LIVERPOOL he only wants to play for liverpool. He is a good winger an just what liverpool need. Ed do u think liverpool would be crazy not to buy this lad or do u think it would be good if we did not buy him
{Editor's Note: His club would have to be prepared to sell the player and we would need to raise the money from somewhere. However, he would undoubtedly be a good addition.}
- if we do try to sign him maybe insua would be used plus cash, maybe insua plus 6/ 7/ 8million or something like that.

I think everyone should relax and wait till 6th of october to see what happens.i think any serious bidder will wait till that date because they know the club will then be available and a reduced price.i think this showed that kenny haung was'nt serious about a bid, because if he was surely he would have waited until that date to get it a further reduced price.i for one am very happy as it looks certain the yanks won't make a penny on our great club.any thoughts ed? {ed's note - I think you are right, though I am still not convinced the 6th will have any real bearing on anything.}

Was it not man utd who paid 25 million for rooney and was it not man utd who paid £30 million for Ferdinand.

Hi Ed, just wondered if you can help me with my understanding of the Money Situation and ownership at Liverpool now the way i try to understand it is that if liverpool were a house (i know what your thinking but bear with me) and H&G take out a mortgage to buy the house and then re-mortgage to add an extension and new kitchen (New Players) and then from there the mortgage is on interest only, are they now not paying the interest? and the bank is coming in to reposes the House (LFC) and sell it? but in the mean time H&G have got the house up with Rightmove and they have put the value up to what they think is suitable and not what the House is Worth! so when no one buys the house (LFC) the banks can repose it and sell it as a reposession for a knock down price. this could be way off but sometimes when i read alot of these post i get lost with Barcap etc etc so if anyone can simplify i would appreciate it.

I think I speak for many on this LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB SUPPORTERS forum when I say, with regret, that you sir are a complete muppet of the highest order and I suspect, a vermin Manure supporter!
The very fact that we cannot buy players, we have to sell players, there is no stadium after being promised a spade in the ground after 60 days and that we could go into administration if loans are not repaid (all this is the tip of the iceberg as well), is all down to the owners you are defending. The credit crunch hasnt been too bad for Spurs and the like, has it? The credit crunch didn't cause H&G to fall out and not speak to each other like school girls either.
Go back to watching Lorraine Kelly morning TV. I feel like Ive wasted enough of my life on you already. Muppet.

What I have noticed in the first three weeks of the season is that , our passing game has been abysmal. . Our possession play has been ridiculous. And all this problems have meant tat the club has never been able to revive their performances in the season when they made a title dash.
I attribute this to having players who can't hold the ball. Well we don need a xavi or iniesta but atleast not lucas, or kuyt and ngog. These guys can't hold the ball for long. So any passes made to them results in break up of our forward play. And sometimes even leads to a counter, as in the city game. . And as a result of this we havent scored many goals as well. . Cant blame torres or his injuries. By doing so we are puttin additional pressure on him. The fact is tat we ve got pathetic standard of quality in our squad. Or atleast had when roy arrived. And he realises tat and hence wants to get rid of the deadwood. Summer departures are not our assets but pieces of trash that has accumulated at anfield since benitez arrived. I name lucas, kuyt, in this list as the likes insua degen, have already left. We might even see maxi leave , which is not being fair to him but if he doesn perform He ll surely be part of the trash as roy sees it.
I don't think the guy who posted the above got much sleep last night!
We can't add or sell anyone untill Jan so instead of ribbing on the players we have to get behind them because the whole team is going to need our support.

I want to know your views ed. {ed's note - I think you are being very unfair on Ngog, Lucas and Kuyt. It is almost impossible for them to do anything with the ball when they receive it, there is absolutely no movement in the team, no one creating themselves space to receive a pass or for others to receive it. That is what Roy needs to sort out, without off the ball movement the club will always be also runs.}

What ever direction it might take - be it rbs take over followed by a buyout or a buyout before the deadline, I see these yanks ruining the club further before they leave. Either ways they are going out with nothin, which they cannot take. I see more headaches for the club but my gut tells me this might be resolved in december.

Tom Hicks and George Gillett's ill-starred reign as owners of Liverpool looks like having less than a month to run after the club's loans with Royal Bank of Scotland were placed into its toxic-assets division.
The deadline for the refinancing of the owners' personal loans from RBS is 6 October, and that now looks set to be the date that Hicks and Gillett's association with England's most successful club will end. The bank's decision to switch the debts to its Global Restructuring Group is the strongest possible signal that these loans will not be extended.
