The papers say the financial markets have improved. Doesn't mean banks are lending money for major construction projects though. We are still in a recession after all.

But presumably they are still lending if they have confidence that they'll get the money back? - it's not as if all lending and all major construction has stopped, it's just that the banks are being a lot more careful about who they lend their money to. but with Hicks in a financial hole (possibly to remain there even after selling the Rangers) I don't see what difference an improvement in the financial markets will make it they still fear Hicks will default on loans as he has already done in the US.

 

Said what?

 

- Gillett claimed (for the 2nd time) that he'd never said there would be a spade in the ground within 60 days. This time he went further, and said that Hicks was the one who said that.

It matters because Gillett did say it, not Hicks, so it is a clear demonstration of bare-faced lying.

There is a very interesting and revealing transcript of a chat one of the lads from SOS had with Gillett on The Liverpool Way, well worth checking it out. If anyone STILL needed evidence of what a massive c*** Gillett is then go and read it.

A great and important bit of work. Hope they don't mind me linking to it from here.

LOL!

As time was running short I ended the meeting by saying.

 

 

MC} "At the minute we have people from around the globe banging on the doors to watch Liverpool. If the club had a sustained run of poor results and went without success that the glory hunters would soon go and the support the next successful club and that that G+H would be glad of the bread and butter supporters like my self and SOS.

Its not wrong is it?

 

Why dont s**** clubs have loads of fans abroad? Its because they're s****! And if the same happened to us a lot would disappear.

 

(I'm not saying any foreign supporter is a glory hunter before anyone gets touchy)

The majority (who happen to like football, and not pop idols wannabe like Beckham)do stay with the club though

what are you basing this on? how many big clubs with worldwide fan bases have fallen from grace and maintained support? The majority of our foreign fans (i.e. 95%+) must be glory hunters, there's no other reasonable explanation that could account for more than a few thousand globally. Ergo, if you start supporting a club because they're one of the best around, you're a lot more likely to not be as interested when they're not.

 

I'd go every week if we're s***. I'd probably enjoy it more.

you're probably right, I was just basing it on myself!

 

anyway, i think the money that comes from fans abroad is peanuts compared to the TV money/ tickets and sponsors

Juventus keep a big world-wide fanbase regardless of how rubbish they've been recently.

 

I also think its an individuals call on how much the club matters to them despite where they're from.

I could be a mile off here but there has been a hell of a lot of Italian emigration and I imagine that accounts for a big part of the overseas support of their clubs.

I'd actually say their numbers have declined. Or they've at least not grown as much as they should have. Mid/late 90's they must have had one of the biggest, if not the biggest fan bases. But now i'd say the top Spanish or English clubs will easily outnumber their fans.

That's true but you see the fervor of how our lads were greeted in the Far-East and I think we've really struck a chord out there.

Nobody I know who started following Liverpool for gloryhunting reasons as kids in the mid-Eighties picked another English team or gave up the ghost when it started going off the boil in the Nineties, even though 80% of the other Irish fans of English football were following United at the time and were insufferable bollixes about it.
