Re: Liverpool Takeover Imminent?
BRS had a pre-tax income of $266 million last year and a debt/value ratio of 28%. NYT want to sell their 17.75% share in the NESV company, and FSG is involved with NASCAR, Fulham etc., and helps make profits in companies by exploiting commercial loopholes, however with the FFP regulations coming in they will have a tough time of it, and no individual in the company has finance to do this deal and see it through with their own pocket.

Re: Liverpool Takeover Imminent?
The guy that owns the red socks has less money than the current yank owners.
$850 million is around £573 million virtually all of that will be tied up non liquid assets so you can only assume he would be buying the club with more debt !
To sort out liverpool is going to cost alot more than £500 million. The total debt is now rumoured to be £340 million, they desperately need a new ground £400 - £500 million for a 65 - 70k stadium in stanley park. They need to drop at least £150 - £200 million on the team to become champions league / title contenders again.
Plus buy the shares, Knock down price £150 - £200 million. Even if they get the club for a song you are talking about £1 billion to get them back at the top again.
The Asian bid we dont know about there is massive money out there in places like South Korea, Singapore, China, Hong kong and they love football it depends who the player is. But its unlikley we would be talking Sheik or Russian money they really were one offs and the new euro regs have shut the door on any more investment like that anyway.
I find this amusing, basically the yanks own all the shares. So the club cant be sold without their agreement. As they own the club they can also ultimately hire and fire who they want to the board.
Those independant directors were all a show to try and keep the fans quiet and happy now the wheels are comming off they see they have nothing to loose so have come clean on what is going on.
The simple fact is Unless RBS seize the club for unpaid debt LFC cant be sold without the yanks agreement. Its going to be interesting to see what happens !

These bidders should wait till RBS takes over.. Then buy them out.. and RBS could give the shaft to these stupid owners.. They are eye balls dept in debt back here in the states, they need every penny from this sale, so they are acting this way.

I still think H&G have another card to play, there's no cast iron certainty what RBS will do yet thats when things will really happen.

Re: Liverpool Takeover Imminent?
Fenway are a subsidiary, they don't have the clout. The sum of the key board members is no more than $2 billion, and BRS and the NASCAR don't bring in any more than a couple of hundred million in turnover. BRS need a new stadium, and they only get away with it because they avoid the baseball regs for income sharing using Fenway to negotiate sponsorship deals, but UEFA are a lot tougher on this sort of thing so they can't use it on Liverpool basically.

Re: Liverpool Takeover Imminent?
pretty sure the Treasury is the majority shareholder of RBS ...
marco said:inbetween said:Or put into administration. :DD
RBS isnt owned by the state it was bailed out as many banks were by the form of a loan however it wouldnt make good reading that the same bank the tax payer financed would become the owner of liverpool,RBS would only sell the club on as a loss or disolve the trading name and cease business, lets hope its the later
pretty sure the Treasury is the majority shareholder of RBS ...

JOHN HENRY
I live in Boston. In the last few years Henry has been the same as Hicks and Gillet, in regards to team investment not debt, we need investment in players and the stadium. They spent a boatload of money on this flop Diseuke Matzuzaka(sp?). Anyways he was a massive flop. Since they last won the world series the owners haven't invested in the team at all. They've bought a boatload of Konchesky's and Poulsens while the Yankees are buying all the talent under the sun. The team has failed year in year out and there has been zero investment in the team. This year they didn't make the playoffs, equivalent to us not making the champions league. They have taken the stadium and made it into the biggest fan friendly piece of shit imaginable. Not proper fan friendly but family friendly. They have an official "ticket sponsor" which is a legalized tout service. The most expensive tickets in baseball and the food at the stadium is unbelievable. Its all about boxes and expensive seats.
My opinion and some facts.
