Robbed off sky but it was a brilliant clip regardless. Felt quite emotional watching it which I didn't expect, when the tune set in with 'some are dead and some are living' they showed emlyn huges and then they finished the clip with shanks with his hand on his heart.

http://www.gazetaesportiva.net/ge_noticias...6&nwid=5368 Bosom makes right venda of Lucas for the Liverpool Pablo Amaral São Paulo (SP) - Main revelation of the Bosom in the last years and captain of the Brazilian election sub-20 in the conquest of the South American heading of 2007, the Lucas projection already does not belong more to the tricolor gaucho. The player is in Liverpool, in England, carrying through medical examinations and making right its transference for the land of the Beatles in this thursday. Pablo Pelaipe, controller of the club gaucho, guaranteed, however, that the player alone will leave the Olímpico after the ending of the gremista participation in the Liberators of America. ' Who is dealing with the subject is the proper presidency, but it is in England to carry through the rightness. With everything confirmed, it he will be only delivers to the Liverpool after the Liberators ', informed. The values of the negotiation had not been informed by cartola gaucho, but it comments yourself that the negotiation of funny Lucas in the house of the ten million euros. Pelaipe confirmed that the projection is waited in this friday in the Olímpico to restart the training and to prepare its return to the teams in the departures against the Defender, of Uruguay. Lucas did not participate of the two games against the São Paulo because of an injury.

Rafa is one of the most misunderstood managers in the premier league ,the media just do not know how to take him, some of the criticism he has taken during his time at Liverpool has been unreal. Its accepted wisdom that he's boring and cautious oh and only plays with one striker upfront (apparently)..what on earth will they write in the summer if purchase the likes of tevez and/or Villa? On a different note anyone catch this crock of s**** ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1951 Liverpool have seriously pissed off the journos by getting through to another final .

Looks like they expect a united treble then

why ,whats being said?

He even manages to make a simple task of shaking hands theatrical....f*** em.

http://www.star-telegram.com/281/story/58848.html seems some people aren't too happy with Hicks .

southampton beat wolves 6-0 and gutherie played the whole game ,think their fans would like to keep him for next season as well.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle1582560.ece 'but, even though a groundshare featured in Gillett?s initial strategy for the club, it is understood that they are now firmly opposed to such a proposition' very good.

Only worry is whether the council could say to Liverpool 'you can change the plans on the stadium on the condition you share with everton'? bit sly ,been thinking they could pull some kind of stunt like that for a while now. Obviously it would be dressed up in different type of language.

His column in the echo today was about the Stanley link and whether Gillett had been aware of it before he bought into Liverpool ,type up a few points from the article itself as it wasn't online . The Stanley Cup in Ice Hockey 'Its named after a bloke called frederick stanley who just happened to be mayor of Liverpool back in the late 1800s as well as the first chancellor of the university of Liverpool, Stanley also carried the more elegant title Lord Stanley of Preston and before his return to the city to run local govt around 1893 he spent 5 years in canada serving as a governer general where it turns out he's very popualr indeed. So admired in fact that he encouraged a growth in sporting activity and inspired the hockey fanatic legacy which exists there today. He died in Liverpool in 1908 and was buried in St marys church in Knowsley Village.No doubt, Gillett will find the time to pay his respects to the man who donated hockey's most coveted prize to the montreal hockey club as a farewell gift shortly before his return to liverpool. The Irony simply drips from the past .Since 1926 , North Americas hockey players have been fighting over the treasure of a sports mad Liverpudlian. Lord Stanley of preston had an equally famous father from knowsley,The name Edward george geoffrey Smith Stanley, the 15th earl of Derby, probably means nothing to you nor should it unless you happen to know the identity of all your british prime ministers ,particularly those who were in the office on 3 occasions. A year after Lord Stanley Snr died in 1869 the residents of this particular Victorian city decided to open a 111 acre park named in his honour. In Vancourver they have their own Stanley Park which includes a stature in honour of son.' I heard of the Stanley cup ,funny how its related to the same Stanley.

Warren bradley seemed very positive in a interview to radio city only a few days ago and it seemed as if he had been kept in the loop about any potential changes to the stadium ,now everything is all doom and gloom ,I assume/hope a compromise will come from somewhere ,get the stadium built but make sure there room to build in the future.

thought it was pretty good 'we'll try and keep traditions ,the new stadium will be built around the kop ,it will like a stage for the rest of the stadium' and the end the interviewer says 'I must congratulate you for not saying franchise' hicks: I never said that george did ,anyway I'm going to call them the anfield reds' (laughs)'

I think we can say 100 per cent yes to that one ,improve fan experience or something like that . 'did you borrow 450 million ? life has been good to me but I'm not going to write a cheque for 450 million ,its my money.I borrowed the money' he said something like that anyway.

I take it we aren't on good terms with swindon? Swindon chief Willie Carson was equally scathing of Benitez's plans. "Why on Earth did this man say this? The system has worked just fine for years," he said. "The top clubs loan their reserve players out to get top experience, so we take them on; they get better and we get better. "Clubs like Manchester United are forever sending their youngsters out and it helps us and it helps them. It helps football. Rafael Benitez is being selfish. Simple. "He wants his players to get better but no one else to get better with it. "This system would help his lot for sure, but what about us lot that get pushed out? Someone has to make way for these teams. "He should put something back into the game. His club has lots of money, why don't they see it better distributed? No, they want more, and we suffer for it."

http://www.whatson.com/goto/?type=radio&am...how=a_city_news radio link here ,doesn't seem that Liverpool would have to go back to the beginning after all.

Maybe becos the club spent a decent amount of money last summer only to go backwards with their last hope lying in the champions league ,if Liverpool go out against PSV for arguments sake the season would have to go down as a complete failure?

might bring down to earth people wondering how to spend new found money.

Americans borrow £298m to buy Liverpool Club likely to foot annual £21.5m interest payments Moores family loaned £10m for new signings David Conn Wednesday March 14, 2007 The Guardian Thomas O Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the two American businessmen who are close to completing their takeover of Liverpool, have borrowed almost £300m from the Royal Bank of Scotland to finance the deal. The bank has loaned the money at 1.5% above the current standard lending rate, meaning that about £21.5m interest will be payable this year. The debt is not being taken on by the club in the way the Glazer family loaded Manchester United with £660m borrowings from their 2005 takeover, but professionals close to the deal said it was nevertheless likely that Liverpool would pay the interest, or pay Hicks and Gillett "a big dividend" at the end of the year to enable them to do so. The terms of the loans are in the offer document sent to all shareholders, revealing that the two men are borrowing £185m to pay for the £174m takeover itself and associated costs, with another £113m available as a "revolving credit facility" to absorb Liverpool's debts and fund the club and preliminary work on the new 60,000-seat stadium. A further £200m will be borrowed to build the stadium but the way that will be done has not been worked out. The initial £298m loans are guaranteed by Hicks and Gillett personally. The offer document also reveals how stretched Liverpool became financially last year as the chief executive, Rick Parry, searched for someone to take over the club. In August the then chairman David Moores lent the club £10m - £2m personally and £8m from a family trust - to let the manager, Rafael Benítez, have some money to strengthen the squad, which he spent on buying the striker Dirk Kuyt. Parry said that with a takeover likely the club had not wanted to take on more bank finance. "We were at the limit in terms of our short-term borrowing facilities and were racking up expenditure keeping the stadium on schedule, so it was a fantastic gesture by David to make that money available." Along with the money Hicks and Gillett are paying for his shares, Moores will have his loans repaid in full. The takeover is certain to go through after it was confirmed last week that over 80% of Liverpool shareholders had accepted the offer of £5,000 a share. Moores, the former 51.5% shareholder, will be paid £89.615m for the 17,923 shares he bought for about £12m. Robert Tilliss, the New York-based financial adviser to Hicks and Gillett, said the men had been attracted by buying "one of the leading brands in the world's No1 sport". He said they would bring their sports business expertise over from the US, where $20bn (£10.3bn) has been spent in recent years upgrading stadiums whose ticket prices make those in the Premiership seem like a snip. Tilliss said the popularity of English football in Asia had also been a factor. "All clubs in the US continue to drive on international, national and local revenues, and the great brands of English football certainly have room to develop." Hicks and Gillett, who have said they intend to be "custodians" and hold Liverpool as a family asset, will own the club via a company structure based in the tax havens of the Cayman Islands and the US state of Delaware. The ultimate holding company, Kop Investment LLC, is registered in Delaware, which has low corporation tax and no capital gains tax, and its principal office is at Hicks's corporate headquarters in Dallas, Texas. One professional involved with the deal said that this did not mean the two men foresaw a sale or flotation and were "sheltering" those future gains from tax, but that it was simply "a tax efficient" way to structure the deal. http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,2033412,00.html
