And he cost £27 million or more.

Half time

DIC are only interested because they believe that they will get full ownership and control, even if they need to wait a bit before before they get it. There's no way they would accept being a junior partner to some hick who has no money. Don't worry about the Hicks BS about getting 2% from GG. For Hicks, its all or nothing, and it doesn't look like he has the money for the whole lot. He may stick around for a bit with a small interest, but only as a boil on DIC's backside.

Commentator still talking b***ocks - Torres has been the difference in a scrappy game - no mention of the 19-2 shot count. I can't remember their 2 mind you.

I'm no Riise fan but at least he's been going down the line and putting in a few crosses recently, instead of cutting in and t***ting it into row z.

"Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has made a bid to buy all or part of George Gillett Jr.'s share of the Premier League club, The Associated Press has learned." Translation: Hicks has offered to buy 1 share for £1,000 so that he can have more than 50%. Gillett response was "spin on this Tom".

My understanding: If Hicks was to put the shares on the stock exchange, then he would have to produce all sorts of detailed accounts. He only wants to do simple accounts, so the regulators say that he can still sell his shares, but only to financial companies (QIBs) who know what they may be getting themselves into. OR You're not gonna give us detailed info? OK, try to sell to the other sharks but not to the widows and orphans. Like buying a car from a guy in a field with no paperwork, and not from a garage.

Watcha talkin' bout fool.

Excellent news that the deal is done from CTR - his reading of all this has been spot on up to now. I expect official news by the end of the week. Gerrard next season??? Hmmmm.. Out right or right out?

Would we qualify for next year's Champions Lesgue? I think that's a yes now? The blue s**** would get 4th, miss out and go nuts - that would be fantastic!

These floated crosses are a total waste of time. We need wingers and full backs to whip them in from the final third, and not just from crosses and set pieces. If we can get this sorted out, it will make a massive difference to the team. Looking at what we did tonight, almost the first whipped cross we get 10 minutes from time and Crouch causes confusion, allowing Kuyt to score. A floated cross is just a total waste of time, as we saw many times tonight. For my presents in the next few months: 1) G+H out & DIC in 2) Rafa to stay 3) Agger to recover 4) Players down the flanks who can whip in crosses Thats not asking too much? I really think that this would transform our results.

Skrtal excellent, Lucas ok, is Xabi injured or not en a sub at the moment? Hope that Agger will recover as we need him and Skrtal to play a high up the pitch pressing game, otherwise everyone gets knackered unless the pitch is compressed. I hate to say it but Carra will soon be a fill in.

Riise...........

Our subs include San Jose? Que?

Headlines: Sheikh up for Liverpool FC.

Absinthe does that to you.

Looks like he's slicing the ball.

Because they are spending money at a rate of knots, but not on the 2 most important things - transfers (net 18mio spend) and the stadium. If they take out another loan for the stadium for 350million, that will leave us 700million in debt. This means interest payments of about 60million a year. We will then have less than zero to spend on transfers every year - do you see where I'm coming from? Maybe they will borrow more? It is not sustainable. Their business model seems to rely on finishing 4th every year, thereby spending the bare minimum and gaining the most revenue. With Hicks' other team, finishing 4th in a 4 division league is not difficult. In the Premiership, slip out of the CL and you have massive problems due to the lost income. Don't you think that Man City, Portsmouth, Newcastle, etc are not going to spend big to try to get into 4th? I don't mind spending for transfers and the stadium. The problem is that our money is either going into Hicks' back pocket (which he then lends back to us), or is being thrown away in arrangement fees, stadium plans and short term bridging loans. WAKE UP.

Now saying plus 2 million Euro based on "sporting objectives" = 9.64 million pounds total. Nice - good luck Momo, just don't t*** any of our players when we next meet. Here

Momo gone - official. 11 million Euros = 8.17 million pounds. Reuters

He also said that he has never refused Rafa money to buy any player - do you believe that?
