I think the problem is that it isn't grim enough up north any more.

They maybe don't hate London the way they used to, which would be a real shame.

I don't have anything more against London than I do against the rest of England.

They were interviewing United fans ahead of the Derby at weekend outside Old Trafford this is what they had to say.

A guy who is happy he looks like Wayne Rooney, I've seen it all.

I can't stand the Tories.

Clegg spoke well when he spoke, but I thought he allowed the other two to sideline him somewhat, especially in the first half. I thought Brown was pretty solid and Cameron did live up to expectations.

My natural inclination is towards Labour, but my constituency is Tories v Lib Dems, so I usually vote to keep the Tories out.

If you get enough interest by all means open a political thread mate, I for one would post in there.

Liverpool FC is up for sale.

 

[Enron]

I love it. Now maybe we can get a decent owner.

 

[JBF]

Who the hell would buy a club teared with debt and have a small stadium with a relatively small revenue due to that and has to spend load of cash to retrurn the club into former glories.


Easy, Arabs

Who wouldnt buy one of the biggiest brands in sports in a league that is heavily sponsored and is globally widespread? There is not much money to be made by owning footie clubs, more like the reverse. But if you are interesting in brands and PR for yourself, then yeah this the kind of opportunity really rich mofos would like.

 

[IrishZebra]

Indeed the Liverpool brand is Top10 without a doubt.

 

[Enron]

Actually we have a fairly large revenue. However, the loans our current owners took out are more than what we bring in (more than most clubs bring in). Hicks and Gillet may have to take a significant loss to sell. That said, the club could go for well below it's current asking price of 500 million pounds. So a wealthy person could end up purchasing one of the most storied clubs in teh world for a relatively low price.

 

[Enron]

Oh and Anfield seats around 45,000 and maintain that attendence throughout the season. 45,000 isn't huge, but it's a lot bigger than other stadiums.

 

[Salvatore]

Don't a lot of Liverpool fans want a new stadium?

 

[IrishZebra]

Yes, they Should ground share with Everton though.

My point is, there's no profit from buying Liverpool ATM, so no "businessman" will do such an investment IMO. While a fan maybe more than willing to splash such money and even more on his/her beloved club. But I see no reason for a true businessman to do such a dumb move other than making a name for himself maybe, and with the amount of money he'll have to spend, its not worth it really.

 

[IrishZebra]

Businessmen are men as well, and all men are just big kids, let's face it we all want to own Juventus

It was promised by Hicks and Gillet that we would get a mega-stadium similar to Arsenal's at Stanley Park but it never happened.

 

[JBF]

It looks like I was right, Syrian "Businessman" Yehia Al Kurdi is in talks for buying the club and he appointed former Cletic player Andy lynch to seal the deal.
