GM (General Motors)

Ah, wasn't aware they were in deep poop, that being the case its probably nowt and just me making 2+2 add up to 5 ..... Just that a guy I occasionally work with, who is based in Geneva, mentioned that Parry had been in contact with their office over there although he had no idea as to why. This was about a week ago so I guess he could have been on the scrounge for tickets to the car show...

 

Maybe he wanted a novelty car-themed tie to wear on match day.

......

 

I'm guessing its the group as a whole that's in the poop and not just the US operation, anyone?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

The US operation is well & truly f***ed. I'd be surprised if they don't go down some Chapter 11 route before 18 months are up. As for the Group, dunno

He's buying a fecking clown car! I can actually visualise him and crouch getting out of one. (not a dig at either of them btw more at how daft it would be)

i've heard rumblings of LG, the crowd that make phones and stuff. its not come from anything super reliable, but a few seperate finance bods have mentioned it to me

there was an article t'other day in one of the national dailies about a supposed LG sponsorship deal for man utd, in the region of £40m

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

we'll get one for 50m

[Falconhoof]

51m

General Motors revenue for the last twelve months was $193,250,000,000.

 

I hope some day I can be as "f***ed" as that

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

and its loss was $8,600,000,000

yeah, I should have read on a bit further now I see! - didn't know they were the idiots that made "Hummers"

[Spike]

the rate that hummers get blown in iraq, you'd think they'd be doing better

[Mono]

Maybe Parry was ringing to see if they'll take Cissés Hummer back.....

Losing all his wages on parking fines... That's why his confidence is shattered and his mind is elsewhere

some guy RAWK thinks Lakshmi Mittal is the investor

some guy RAWK thinks Lakshmi Mittal is the investor

is it a wild guess or is there anything to back up that notion?

By the looks of that map, he's earned an awful lot of his money from Meccano products. Maybe he can help build our stadium.

some guy's post has since been deleted for being absolute b******s

Ok a bit more to add, the bloke he's been in contact with is Jonathan Browning and he is the VP for GM Europe and is responsible for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales....

Top bloke Jonathan and a true footballer he is. This is even more exciting though

To add a tenuous link, that would be the same Jonathan Browning that used to be the managing director of Jaguar Cars Ltd. and would have probably spent time up at Halewood.

I won't want to us to have anything to do with LG personally, mainly due to the fact they are called Lucky Goldstar! Could you imagine if we give the sponser the name of the stadium we could all be going to the Lucky Goldstar stadium! So no thanks

[SkippyjonJones]

GM have just announced that they made a mistake intheir accounting and the loss for 2005 was actually $10 billion not the previously stated $8billion.

 

so I guess that $2 billion they had earmarked for project Anfield has just dissappeared.

[Kite]

Wasn't the rumour we were going to lend off GM to buy David Trezeguet (around 2001)?

Would David Trezeguet then have to be renamed to "Vauxhall Corsa Trezeguet" or something?
