I think Kraptalk have taking this story about RBS from an article written about RBS by the Liverpool Echo.

Knowing Kraptalk they probably have. As this is what they do just take what has already been written by any of the associated press and put it in their members forum and charge money for it.

Due diligence is the detailed, in depth scrutiny of a company's accounts, operations, subsidiaries, owners etc. prior to any purchase or merger. The purpose is to prevent any unforeseen shocks coming to light after the transaction is complete.
The more complex the company (e.g. kop holdings, multiple owners, debt covenants, stadium plans) the longer due diligence will take.

Fernando Torres could leave Liverpool this season. If he goes, Man city will be favourites the sign him. A player plus cash offer could happen here, with pool getting 50 million plus SWP.

If a Torres sale should happen, Liverpool will sign Gomez and Ashley young. Young will be new left winger and Babel will go to Villa.

thought you said deals for s.w.p.young and gomez will only happen if torres sold so why is he still in your line up if you have sold him ?

To Anfield Rap Star

Due Dilligence is a legal term for the process where interested parties are allowed to have a good look at the companies books. This will include all balance sheets, bank accounts and annual reports. They are allowed to do this once they have registered an interest in the company for sale. It can take many months for this to be concluded especially in a company like Kop Holdings where I suspect an awful lot of creative accounting will come out into the open. It is the only way that prospective buyers will know the true state of the company and if they will be liable for any bad debts that the sellers which to get rid off. Once this has been completed and the lawyers on both sides agree that everything has been covered then an offer can be made

Torres can be kept if Liverpool play their cards right. In my opinion Gary Cahill would be a great signing and would be the right pedigree for LFC.

LFC could get Cahill if they sell skertel. Hodgson has been excellent in the transfer window and still has money left over from the summer dealings with the sale of Masch. This left over cash is around 4 to 5 million and will cover most of the price for Cahill plus the money LFC get from skertel.
Liverpool should make a big effort (and are expected to) to get Gomez. Gomez will be the only player that LFC will buy without selling.
Young will sign for 7 million plus babel.
SWP could be bought to add an extra dimension to LFC attack.

LFC have already sold
Masch- 19m
Riera- 3.5m
Yossi-6m
Total= 28.5m

LFC signings
Poulsen- 4m
Meireles- 12m
Cole- Free
Shelvey- 2m
Total= 18m

This leaves a net profit of roughly 10m.

Possible further sales
Lucas- 7m- (woulnt like to see Lucas go)
Babel- 9m
Aqualani- 12m
Insua- 3m
Skertel- 10m
Total- roughly 40m

With the money from these sales, it should be possible to buy Cahill, Gomez, SWP and Young making a small net loss.

Sorry for not including Joe Cole and Maxi in my last comments. They are quality attacking players that add dept to LFC team.

Can anyone actually define the term due diligence. It has been thrown around on here for months in many different ways and I am beginning to wonder if anyone actually knows what they are talking about?

The KopTalk website is well-known amongst Liverpool supporters for its financial exploitation of the Hillsborough disaster, for selling badly-faked and extortionately-priced signed Liverpool memorabilia and even for ticket touting. It is also notorious for making up stories about the club and its players - often potentially damaging - and in many cases demanding payment before allowing access to the stories.

Liverpool now need to sell players in order to buy players.

Martin Skertel will be sold for 11 million and Gary Cahill will be his replacement for around 17 million.
Cahill will come in Janurary or will sign next season.

Liverpool will also try to sign Mario Gomez. This deal will only happen if the valuation of Gomez remains below 15 million.

Fernando Torres could leave Liverpool this season. If he goes, Man city will be favourites the sign him. A player plus cash offer could happen here, with pool getting 50 million plus SWP.

If a Torres sale should happen, Liverpool will sign Gomez and Ashley young. Young will be new left winger and Babel will go to Villa.

Big rumour is torres who has scored only 1 goal in his first 7 games is not high on hodgsons plans for liverpools future.
hodgson wants somebody to hold up play just like zamora did at fulham and he has doubts torres is the guy for the job.
this could mean torres being sold to man city for 60 million in january with possably an effort to get wayne bridge , adam johnson or even gareth barry as part of any deal .
as for replacements roy is rumoured to be interested in bringing michael owen backfrom man utd for 4 million this is a deal that i can't see happening and allso buying edin dzenko from wolfsberg for 30 million the prolific striker at 6.3 is just hodgsons cup of tea.

Much of the nastiness from the press towards Liverpool over the takeover issue comes from the fact journalists are not been fed any relevant information because of confidentiality agreements signed by the Board and interested parties.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And this is why they make up apocalyptic stories, because they don't know anything. Just as they did not know anything about Roman Ambramovich and Sheikh Mansour until those deals were done.

Most of the London based press are Spurs ('arry this and arry that', 'he's the new Nicholson'), west ham (we won the world cup in 66), Arsenal and Chelsea fans. They have an agenda against Liverpool.

Just watched liverpool and van wolfswinkel was awfull NOT WORTH 10 million
Mata is much better value and is a better player so i yhink we should sign in mata for 15 million in jan

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think he will need to move to one of big 3 in Holland (Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord) like Kuyt, before anyone of the big clubs in England would make a move for him. Might be a bit lightweight?

It is nonsense! took months?? ? ED, when did Martin Broughton appointed as Chairman?? ? liverpool has also taken months to find buyers, isn't it? IF liverpool take over by someone TOMORROW, it also means took months! ED, pls answer me.TQ {ed's note - what has finding buyers got to do with how long it takes to be completed? That is a totally different thing, we were referring to how long it takes a buyer to complete a purchase, which is not going to be a matter of days.}

To the person who posted :

"There are I understand two offers on the table and due dilligence is almost complete. The consortiums concerned will then have to make a formal offer and once the club has made a decision, the premier league needs to be informed along with the Financial Services Authority. The paperwork that surrounds this can take several months - the FSA will do a thorough investigation into all parties especially after the mess Hicks and Gillett have caused."

1- The prem league already stated many times they only need 10 days
2- If there is a buyer why would the FSA get involve? They have nothing to do with the mess H&G , and any investigations for fit and proper owner would have already been done in parallel to due diligence (and not done by the FSA).
I agree with everything else you said in that post , but I am afraid you got that paragraph completely wrong.
By the way I am not saying an owner will be there tomorrow , but the reasons are not what you stated.

Hi All,

I don't know what Macca has written but now that we are in October I will try and put the record straight on how things will happen.

An interest payment is due this morning - this may or may not be paid, if not another payment will be put onto the clubs total debt figure.

Now to RBS.

having worked in the financial industry I know that whatever RBS have decided to do with Liverpool, will have been put into motion this morning. They are I suspect already aware as to whether Hicks will get his refinancing from elsewhere. If so that paperwork will have to be completed and the same goes for the paper work if the bank decides to take over the club. lawyers have to be consulted and so does the Financial Services Authority. This on its own will take at least a month.

There are I understand two offers on the table and due dilligence is almost complete.

The paperwork that surrounds this can take several months - the FSA will do a thorough investigation into all parties especially after the mess Hicks and Gillett have caused.

Because of this I do not expect to see New Owners installed properly at the club until December at the earliest. {ed's note - I agree fully, the problem is that people saw the Man City takeover seemingly happen over night. But what they don't realise is that it took months and that Sheikh Mansour actually provided funds to buy Robinho as a statement of intent, long before he actually completed the takeover of the club.}

The terms of the loan to H&G are not in the public Realm, what is known is that the club was used as collateral. When and if, H&G default on the debt, ownership of the club reverts immediately to the bank. They have already put the issue into their toxic debt account. This is a statement of intent to H&G that the bank will immediately sell the club to pay off the debt. This is why the club is still for sale. Who in their right mind would pay £500m for something that will be available for less than £300m in a couple of weeks time.
Hicks has effectively shot himself in the foot as it is common knowledge that he is trying to refinance, but his problem is it is now common knowledge that the rest of the board have vetoed using the club as collateral - they have this power under the terms of the loan when RBS appointed Barcap to oversee the sale and RBS appointed Broughton. When this is just a distant dream I believe that we will have cause to thank RBS and the non Americans on the board. Slagging Broughton and Purslow for not keeping the fans informed abiut a proccess which the prospective buyers just shows a marked lack of inderstanding of the majority of non financial people of the board. This is not meant to be critical - just a statement of fact. I believe that all concerned are doing what is best for the club. They are taking their time to ensure that we don't end up with another set of greedy clowns. It' a pity Parry didn't have the club at heart. I think Moores was less at fault, but he relied on Parry's advice - he was the businessman remember. Moores was only rich because of his Grandad - not because of his business accumen.

What you guys have to remember before you get all excited about the supposed 6th or 15th oct dates is that on either date RBS cannot just say "right we are taking possesion of the club hand it over" and on the day, that will be that. Even if Hicks decides to go quietly there will be a hell of a lot of paperwork involved to gain possesion of the club most of which cannot be started until the date passes. Think about it, houses don't get repossesed in a day it sometimes takes months so something the size of that which we are talking about could take even longer! I am also of the belief that even though possession proceedings have been started if the money is found to pay the debt in the meantime, proceedings must stop. Does this give hicks even more time than we thought?
I hope that i am wrong but without sounding like a woman, I rarely am!

I firmly believe that as soon as the 15th october gets here things are going to happen, at the moment Boone knows anything except the people who are envolved just like purslow said, so I think we just need to sit tight and wait for it to happen. Nothing on the playing side of things is going to change until January, which gives us a few months for everything to be sorted and hopefully the turn of the year us going to bring a new era for lfc.

Macca, You mean 3 or 4 days when the club when the repayment is needed or close to it?, of course we will hear word from broughton its not rocket science. Yes you may be a "ticket holder" but inside info? no. I predicted when Hodgson took over that he would get Konchesky and he did but do I have inside info. .No. Guesswork and with a close circle of people who knows nobody on this site has a clue. Yes we will hear something from broughton this week. I doubt its about the sale more like Update.

Bit rich coming from "Blue Noeses". Have you got nothing better to do than coming on our forum? Thought the "bye bye Liverpool" message was rather poignant. Your acceptance of life in the Championship next year is honest. Best of luck trying to scrape your way back up next season.
