I share your concerns mate, but it looks like this will go through and we'll be stuck with these yanks.Originally posted by Rehan View Post
I still have loads of issues about this and there are many unanswered questions about the whole thing, but it is what it is and we have to come to terms with it.
I just feel really worried, a bit angry, and very helpless. As we're not in the board room though and have no real idea of all that has gone on, unfortunately we have no choice but to hope Parry and Moores are doing the right thing.White liquid in a bottle = Milk

You really do talk some sense mate, I agree with everything you've just said.Originally posted by Dhavlos View Post
All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope Parry and Moores have made the right decision for the long term future of Liverpool football club.
It's a little scary having new owners, I personally feel very, very uneasy, but that's life, and I think we can all readily admit 17 years without the title is too ****ing long.
We need a change.Comment

Gillett's son is called Geordie

George Gillett will bring his own management staff to run Liverpool if his £470million takeover bid is successful.
The 68-year-old tycoon wasted no time in making sure his own men were in charge of daily operations when he was bout the NHL's Montreal Canadiens for an estimated £140m seven years ago.
That fee include the purchase of the team's Molson Centre stadium, a 21,300-seat arena which hosts more than 100 events a year as well as at least 46 ice hockey games.
The team had fallen on hard times but the Canadiens' first-ever owner from the United States brought in new management that acquired better talent on the ice.
Dean Bonham, who runs a sports marketing and consulting firm in Colorado, worked with Gillett on a failed bid to acquire the NBA's Denver Nuggets.
And he believes Gillett will do all in his power to make Liverpool the dominant team in the Premiership.
"I can tell you that nothing keeps him down for long," Bonham said. "He's as passionate and enthusiastic about the business of sports as anyone I've met in my career."
Gillett first became the part owner of a sports franchise in the 60s through a slice of good fortune.
He was 27-year-old when he phoned NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle to ask about ownership opportunities. Mistakenly believing he was from the Gillette razor empire, Rozelle gave him a lead on the American Football League expansion franchise Miami Dolphins.
Gillett bought a 22-per-cent share but sold his interest before the team made history in 1972 with a perfect season which included victory in the Super Bowl.
Gillett also bought the bankrupt Harlem Globetrotters from the estate of team founder Abe Saperstein in 1967 before selling it nine years later.
The billionaire is known as a friendly sort who won't meddle with the rich traditions at Anfield. He will also keep a low profile and will avoid the media.
Jean Gosselin, a sports marketing specialist at National Public Relations, believes Liverpool supporters will learn to trust Gillett.
"He respects the fans," he said. "George Gillett built on the traditions and has managed the Canadiens financially pretty well. But he never tries to transform what the Montreal Canadiens are."Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

I imagine they will keep Parry and Moores on for at least a year or so.Originally posted by thesilverfoxlfc View Post
I mean, what on earth do these yanks know about Liverpool football club, or English "soccer" in general ? Nothing.
They will need guidance and advice.Comment

I wouldn't read too much into all this positive stuff suddenly appearing about Gillett. He's got his PR people working overtime and of course the Club will also be putting the best possible gloss on developments. We had the same when DIC looked likely to take over and it's easy to fall for what may well prove to be a load of guff..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

On a positive note, this will mean that they will not interfere with Rafa's job on the footballing side of things, á la Abramovich or - some might say - DIC might have done.Originally posted by anfieldanfield View PostJust when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed itComment
