Some given what we all know about something only being worth what someone will pay for it, how are H+G going to argue that the bid undervalues the club? We've been on the market for ages, and it seems this is the highest bid that's been received. Every other bugger has pulled out saying something along the lines of "it's too expensive" so it's going to be difficult for them to mount a legal challenge based on that premise I'd have thought. If the bid did clearly undervalue the club, there'd surely be a bunch of other bidders willing to offer just that little bit more - where are they?

It's been said it's a chinese group unconnected with Huang.

f*** me indeed. A statement on the official site that reads like a declaration of war against the owners.

Can't say I know much about it. I think he put up some editorial about all the protests being a waste of time and issued a call-to-arms that anyone with a baseball bat and a ski mask should scare the s*** out of H+G the next time they're in Liverpool. Molby would approve.

Is that for the ski mask twaddle?

haha Good point. Five name-checks on Broughton, whilst Purslow doesn't get a mention.

That dates back to July this year. Seems unlikely.

My 3 year old boos at the TV if the ninky nonk appears instead of the pinky ponk. I think that's probably acceptable. Not sure about an adult booing though - seems slightly odd.

haha Just what I was thinking when I copy and pasted it - we won't be forking out much extra dosh there!

The precise details of the Aquilani payment structure were laid out for all to see on the Roma website. It may not have been £20M but it wasn't far off. Not a lot of it depended on appearances and success. Four cash installments: * €5m upfront * €3m by 4th January 2010 * €7m by June 30th 2010 * €5m by June 30th 2011. Further Add ons include: * €300k for every year Liverpool qualify for the CL from 2010/11 to 2014/15. * €250k every time the player reaches 35 appearancs; 70 appearances; 105 appeances and then 140 appearances. * €1m the first time Liverpool either wins the Premier League or Champions League by 30 June 2014. * 5% of any future transfer fee paid to Roma.

Or bad of course. Bad can come out of this as well.

Indeed. I think we'd all be happy to show patience if there was some semblance of hope in the level of performances. There's nothing inheritently bad about getting a 0-0 at Utrecht, but the level of the performance and every other performance we've seen has just been soul-destroying. Equally, losing at home to the likes of Northampton and Blackpool can happen, but it doesn't look like they're one-offs. If we were to play Northampton again next week, I'd have serious doubts about beating them, even with our first team. It looks obvious that something is dysfunctional at the moment, and there hasn't been one smidgeon of hope that things will turn around. I fear that if we show the patience that most of us would like to show a new manager, it'll be too late, and we'll be fighting a relegation battle we're ill-equipped to win.

YES TV had indeed switch to the Chelsea game. Don't think I'll bother hunting down another stream.

Blackpool with 7 shots on target in the first half.

0-2 f***

YES

There's some right old b******s in that thread.

In degrees of badness: terrible >> dire >> shocking >> poor We'll be like the eskimos soon, with 20 different words for how crap we are.

Taking all our games so far into account, and grading them from terrible to poor, I'd put the performance somewhere in the middle.

If Kenny comes in I think it should certainly be "sold" as a caretaker appointment. Come in, steady the ship, wait for the ownership issue to hopefully be settled. We then reach the end of the season and see where we are.
