Kop football is a Holdco - they have sub-divided their systems in to Kop Football, Kop Holdings, Kop Delaware, Kop Cayman - all to avoid tax and subdivided loans and equity throughout in the same way. The articles of covenant with RBS and BarCap state the club is the asset and that is what is for sale, not the Holdcos or their subdivisions. The board of the club in this agreement makes the decision to sell the club. Broughton is no fool - he got this sorted before putting his bum on the seat.

Torygraph - the clue is in the name...

Changing the board of Kop football is largely irrelevant, as Kop Football was not per se the item for sale, hence it's just a Holdco. It's like changing deckchairs on the Titanic.

Unless the judge* has a major brain fart, Hicks is done. (* I suspect he's a member of the same Gentlemen's club as MB...why, he may even have a 'neice' living in the same apartment block as MB's) Kop football is just a Holdco.

I know you were Gomez is a good guy - can't see why anyone would have a go at him - washe covering for that affair you were having with Purslow? Or was that DH...it's been a long 48 hours...

Nope - if a declaratory judgement is made in the Board's favour, he's fecked. The sale can go through the same afternoon - it's why the PL, RBS, NESV and everyone else involved have all been in on the timing and sorting of this. Ooh, get her!

Pretty much. There are more limited avenues for appeal here than in the US, and time is very much not on his side.

Some of the articles generated stateside have been very sympathetic, even empathic in our direction but have missed the point that we don't exactly to struggle to Fill Anfield. Now NESV's people will have talked at length to Broughton, Ayre Purslow and I'm betting Dalglish and one or two other key 'Liverpool' people and will have a sharper view than the press do about where we really are and what they can do in that regard to help us move on. Ticket prices may rise, but there are other avenues they could explore just as easily.

This would have been useless anyway in that regard as it's the wrong kind of vehicle and relies on individual groups or persons 'casual' interest and interaction. It's an investment vehicle 'facilitation' project without targets - an open portfolio if you like, and wouldn't have raised enough to trouble us anyway (wrong kind of parameters of operation as well) that needs a given amount of investor interest to go 'live' and become active. He didn't get that interest (no surprise there) just as he failed with Hicks Aquisitions 1 18 months ago. Which also never got off the floor. It's a stupid idea that belongs in a business world that fell over 3 years ago. If as with the first time the interest wasn't there, his underwriters will have pulled the plug for him and it will have cost him a few bob in fees. I suspect this is his happy retirement plan gone up in smoke. Sweeet! Please Tom - at least try!

They then all start laughing once you've left the room, Ste - either that or you hang out with lots of Blackburn fans.

True. Gave her something less onerous to think about while she was down there.

'Is nice the new owners give the possibilities for me to return and finish the job I started at this cloob. Their other team also plays in Red but I don't know much else.. I never followed rounders - bit girly for me.' Best description of the Hodge I've heard yet, came from the wife seeing him on Sky - ' he looks like a really sad sock-puppet who's stitching has gone'

Oh, I would love it..., love it!

fixed that for you. Of course the 'new' manager when he comes in will get full backing - if he has a name like , say - Rafa Benitez for example he'd be off to a great start! Funny bugger

I don't - I want him back in the summer.

That's a photoshop job - said young Cloggie is actually a Feyenoord supporter.

The Rod Sex boys like to be winners - I hope Roy hasn't unpacked.

Ah -you've met him then? Does he ever talk about his own team?

I would think when this deal goes through they won't be complaining too much.

It was Ian Ayre who sought and got Standard Chartered - excellent bit of work.

Gillett also believes in fairies. he put his shares up as collateral and had them tranfered as equity. In the sale by debt removal ongoing, his shares become worthless, his collateral, valueless. Mill have no claim on the club therefore and have to seek their money from Gillett personally. If you like - he wrote a proverbial cheque that bounced.

Likes a bit of the wheeler-dealin' does our 'arry. Cockney barrow-shagging c*nt.
