Liverpool need cash!

[Balti]

English Liverpool Football Club owners George Gillett and Tim Hicks have been approved for a six-month deferment on their loan from Wachovia, US investment bank, and the Royal Bank of Scotland of GBP 350.5 million.

The loan, provided in January of 2008 as 'working capital,' was originally due by 25 January 2009. Hicks and Gillett prepared a written request to the lenders asking for repayment grace until 24 July 2009.

The annual interest on the loan is GBP 30 million. It is speculated that further interest fees may be accumulated over the course of this six-month extension. The club hopes that income from participation in the Champions League will assist with the repayment of this debt.

It has also been reported that a loss of sponsorship in Gillett's Nascar team in the United States has removed an avenue of income that could have been used for the repayment of the loan.

Said on Granada News last night that the loan included the cash for the new stadium.

Sounds to me like Gillett and Hicks might welcome a big money bid for one of their stars........

Alonso!

They wont sell first team players now. They want to sell the club in the Summer. Selling the Champions is a lot easier than selling a 4th placed team because you sold a couple of players for £30m in January.

Nah mate, you're thinking of Andriy Voronin. He's out on loan at the moment but I'm sure a bid of £100m could get him back in the country.

Agger, Alonso, Reina and Torres.


Yes please.

It's not just Liverpool who need cash, i'll bet 95% of the premiership are in the same boat.
I'm sure that the arabs already know this and are just biding their time in this transfer window to pick up a couple of proven premiership starts. Why do you think we have been linked to Blackburn, Bolton and West Ham players - they simply have no money at all - the same applies to the Liverpool and Arsenal's of this world. Wouldn't surprise me if big bids for Torres and Fabregas are made towards the end of the transfer window to test their club's resolve in this credit crisis - where else are they going to get money from - the bank's have as good said they won't be lending any more money on future season ticket sales.

True in my mind. And i hope you're right about big bids toward the end of the window, I really do.

Anybody got a shed load of shares in RBS. Get the board to decline the request for deferment and put the bindippers into administration. The administrator would then the assests up for sale and we could get a whole new forward line for a few quid.
