Eh ?

Blockade, absolutely will be there if we know it's not gonna be just 10 of us, militant action should have started back end of last season in my opinion, we need thousands and we need to know it's thousands, once acheived and done once we can kick on from there. fwiw - i'm in on any blockade and prepared to help out with setting it up in any way i can, but how do we guarantee numbers whilst keeping it under the radar, we don't want to have a list of all blockadees names lying about do we.

Sean Dundee, Jean Michel Ferri ? WTF

The 'Club' need to respond to this to state what Huangs bid currently entails in their eyes now i think, if proof has been submitted then we need to know why it has so far not been accepted. Last Fridays press release debacle was a joke, no way was that press release at 21:30 meant to say anything of the sort it did, someones playing silly beggars. If this bid turns out to be legit and we don't accept it as it doesn't give H&G enough profit then riots and more should ensue forthwith.

WHEN THE f***ETY f*** ARE WE GOING TO GET SOLD f***ING GILLET AND HICKS f*** OFF ARRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't like the sound of this :- Liverpool suitor Yahya Kirdi wants buy-out finalised by start of Premier League season Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi is pressing to secure the purchase of Liverpool before the start of the Premier League season, and is hoping to hold face-to-face talks with Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton and owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks next week. By Paul Kelso, Chief Sports Reporter Published: 10:53AM BST 05 Aug 2010 Paul's Twitter Wrap it up: Yahya Kirdi claims to be in advanced talks with Liverpool's owners and hopes to have completed a deal by the start of the season Photo: PA Kirdi’s proposal has been overshadowed this week by Kenneth Huang’s Chinese government-backed bid for the club, but on Wednesday Kurdi announced he was in advanced negotiations with Hicks and Gillett and had agreed a price. Last night the Canadian broker handling negotiations said they were pressing for a swift conclusion to the deal. Kurdi is negotiating directly with the American owners rather than Broughton and BarCap, engaged in April at the insistence of RBS to oversee the sale of the club.

How Blackburn tops Liverpool Roy Hodgson ignoring Liverpool takeover talk Huang 'has not made formal offer' for Liverpool Mega offer for Torres would be hard to resist, says Hodgson Dan Diamond, a partner in Gameday, the Canadian management consultancy working for Kurdi, told the Daily Telegraph overnight that one of his partners has already met with Broughton and they will press to seal a deal in the next ten days. “Our target is to have our investors come to the opening game of the season on knowing that they have a deal,” he said. “One of our partners has already met with Martin Broughton and if we proceed to the next stage of this negotiation our plan is to bring together Mr Kurdi, his investors, together with Tom Hicks and George Gillett and Martin Broughton, to execute the final purchase agreement and allow Martin to conduct his own ‘sniff test’ on the deal.” Diamond, who is familiar with Hicks and Gillett through their former NHL ice hockey franchises, said if the meeting goes ahead it will take place in Europe. Diamond said Kurdi, who has been negotiating with Hicks and Gillett since November last year, was backed by four major investors from the Middle East, though he declined to name them or to provide details of the offer they have made to the Americans. He did say that they have agreed a fee with the Americans that includes taking on the £237m loan from RBS, providing funding for a new stadium and some transfer activity, and an equity consideration for Hicks and Gillett. “We will reveal the names of the investors when it is appropriate but they have got the scratch to do this. This has never been about whether they have the money, its always been about the deal. The investors have provided proof of funds to the owners and I believe that information has been shared with Martin Broughton.” Kirdi’s deal has the support of Hicks and Gillett as it is likely to offer them a bigger profit on the sale than Huang’s aggressive takeover, which appears predicated on forcing the Americans out by persuading RBS and the non-American majority on the board – Broughton, managing director Christian Purslow and commercial director Ian Ayre – that he should have control. Diamond said that Kurdi and the Americans were keen to avoid a boardroom stand-off and would seek a consensus, but said the owners would assert their rights if they came under pressure to accept a deal they were not happy with. “None of us wants to be in the unpalatable position of pressing the point that Tom Hicks and George Gillett have the right to sell something that they own. But we believe that our bid is satisfactory and deals with the stadium, the debt and it deals with Tom Hicks and George Gillett. “The enthusiasm of the investors will also ensure that there are sufficient funds to allow the owners to get the best possible help that can be found and execute an intelligent program to advance the club up the league table.” With Huang’s heavyweight interest and the presence of at least one other significant bidder, thought to be the Rhone Group, still interested in the club Kurdi’s hopes of sealing a deal as quickly as Diamond hopes may be fanciful. Broughton does want to secure new ownership by the end of the month if he can however, and the next week increasingly looks as if it may be a decisive one for the club.

Liverpool board divided over whether to accept stunning Chinese government takeover bid Hicks and Gillett want higher sale price than £325 million... 5 Aug 2010 09:30:00 Liverpool EXCLUSIVE By Wayne Veysey | Chief correspondent The Liverpool boardroom is deeply divided over whether the club should accept a stunning takeover bid from the Chinese government. Goal.com UK understands that American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are desperate to obstruct a swift deal in order to hold out for a big a profit as possible from the sale of the club. This has angered the other three board members - chairman Martin Broughton, managing director Christian Purslow and commercial director Ian Ayre – who want to find the most sustainable owner for the club and believe that the bid fronted by sports entrepreneur Kenny Huang is the only serious contender. It comes amid reports that China’s foreign investment arm China Investment Corporation (CIC) is the mystery backer behind Huang and could hand Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson a formidable £150 million transfer kitty to spend on new players. Liverpool, who have debts of £237m, are expected to change hands later this month and the Chinese appear to be in pole position to win a takeover battle that also includes the American private equity consortium the Rhone Group and Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi. It is believed that Kirdi has a close working relationship with Gillett’s son, which has prompted speculation that the Syrian’s involvement is being used as a stalling tactic by the Anfield co-owner. Yet the broker for Kirdi said today that the Syrian and his investment group are negotiating directly with the Americans – not with Broughton or Barclays Capital - and want to agree on a deal that would allow the pair to “walk away with a profit” before Liverpool open their Premier League campaign on 15 August. “We are prepared to take as long as it takes to get the deal done properly but all the participants would be pleased if we could have it in place for Liverpool’s home Premier League opener against Arsenal,” said Dan Diamond, president of Montreal-based GameDay Leadership Management Consultants. It is Gillett and Hicks’ decision to negotiate above the heads of their fellow directors that has angered Broughton, Purslow and Ayre, who share three of the five boardroom votes. Broughton and Barclays Capital – the investment arm of Barclays Bank – were appointed on 16 April to handle the sale of the club and are aiming to make a final decision on a preferred bidder by the end of next week. It is not known who Broughton feels is the strongest bid but it is understood that the non-executive chairman would want a consensus in the boardroom. A source close to the process says that Purslow and Ayre favour the Huang-led Chinese consortium, which has assets of £209 billion under management. Most of the cash is tied up in equity and bond markets, although China Daily, the English language arm of the Chinese state media, reported yesterday that CIC has spent the past fortnight selling shares that would, coincidentally, raise precisely the amount of cash required to finance a bid for Liverpool. Huang values Liverpool at around £325m, less than half Hicks’ £800m asking price. To break even on a sale, the American owners would need to fetch a price of £362m. They paid £218m for the club in 2007 and invested a further £144m

Aye, just noticed that - t***ts.

If it's Ambani then that is a distinct possibility

This Article from the India Times is saying Ambani/Roy have tabled the cash for a deal

Could it be that the result of yesterdays 'alleged' board meeting that Huangs 'non-formal' bid was presented and approved or had been already approved at an earlier time ? Maybe this led to Gilletts expected bringing in of the Kirdi bid a bit later than was expected due to the rain at bad ragaz, in which time during the course of today Huang has been informed that his 'informal bid' has been ratified and accepted by a majority of the board ? Now if i was him and his backers and broughton, RBS etc.. knowing it will take a week or two for the whole formal bid to be submitted, processed and accepted and the whole PL fit and proper measures be met, why not release a statement dulling the feeding frenzy that is taking place in the press until these formalities have ran their course ? Thats what would be in the clubs best interest if a deal had been agreed anyway, plus it would send G&H into recruiting the kind of bizarre interview we seen coming from Keith Harris today. Somethings not adding up with all of this anyway. What we do know is that Gillett wanted to do this Kirdi thing at least a week ago, we also know that this would only have been in reaction to something big happening behind the scenes that was to their detriment, at the same time Torres is suddenly the happiest man on the planet at Liverpool ? Glass half full and a lot of supposition but dare to dream eh !
