So Liverpool go into the sunny uplands for now.
This is far from the case, as I understand it.
Mill are the refinancing house Hicks has gone to. In essence, they would be Hicks' front for retaining outright control.
It's a stay of execution until Hicks gets the value he wants.
Mill aren't doing it out the goodness of their own hearts...
I have just had a chat with a mate who knows more about Mill than I do.
He seems to think that Mill are in there to protect the investment in H and G that already exists.
Roughly £100m in H and G debts would have gone if the NESV deal had gone through so they are looking at buying in the debt then looking for ways of recouping.
Asset stripping anyone?
And on another note the Prem' League have asked for ANY new owner to fully prove that the club can fulfil its obligations this season. How low can you go ;-)
