Liverpool's Gerrard excited by new owners
tribalfooball.com - February 05, 2007

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has thrown his support behind the proposed takeover of the club by Americans George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
And Gerrard believes the potential £450million investment by the US sports moguls signals "exciting times" for the Anfield club.

Gerrard said: "I'm really excited. I'm told it's really close and hopefully sometime this week it will be sorted.

"The takeover is in good hands with our chairman David Moores and Rick Parry (chief executive) and I'm full of confidence they will make the right decision and get it signed and sealed.

"These are exciting times for the club."

They had salmon for dinner

Moores put his CD collection on. Hicks was last seen on a trampoline

Tinned Salmon?

[kopdan]

All he had in.

[Red Chilli]

All he had in.

No wonder DIC pulled out, these Yanks must be desperate.

[Kopite_Colin]

Yeah. He heard that there were a couple of turkeys around, but he couldn't take the chance with bird flu hanging about an' all.......

Hicks flew in to Liverpool at 10;30 this evening, or rather , his plane did.

The reason i wanted to know was because iv read moores is worth £1.5b and Gillet only $900m

If Moores is worth 1.6 bil then why did we argue over a few mil with both Simao and Alves?.Both of which could have helped us win the Pl this season

So is everyone happy about being Liverpool USA

No it's not.

American has zero affliation or heritage when it comes to "soccer", one of the only countries in the world you can say that about.

Doesn't it worry you that our new owners literally wont have a clue about anything related to English football, let alone the history or traditions of Liverpool football club ?

I'll be honest, I dont want "yanks" in charge.

by ZERO affiliation do you mean, that they haven't hosted a world cup? that "soccer" is the biggest sport for kids in America...yes bigger than baseball, american football etc. Do you mean that its got no marketing potential?

if you do then your wrong mate.

your judgment is clearly clouded by your anti- americanism.

Football isnt strictly an English game, its the world game...and that includes America.

Hicks and Gillett will not be going into this without a clue. They have advisors, i bet Parry will stay on board in some role. They wont just takeover. When Gillett took over Montreal, the fans were against it...because he didnt know the traditions etc. But he understood that, he didnt want to change the fact that they were traditionalists....he wanted to build on it. From the sound of it the same thing will most likely happen here.

Exactly. I was reading an online article about this from a Dallas news site which said of Hicks that he knows nothing about football and would view this acquisition as purely an investment. Sound like someone with our best interests at heart?

And what does a Hick from Texas who has bankrolled George W Bush know about "soccer" and Liverpool? Have these guys even been to Liverpool before the last month, never mind Anfield?

At least we knew of Al-Ansari that he's been to Anfield many times, and he was in Istanbul.

and DIC weren't????

your mad if you think they were in it for the love of the game

to find someone like Abramovich, who has more money than sense, and see's us as a play thing will never happen. Those people are few and far between.

If someone (Hicks & Gillett) has invested alot of money into a club they are not just going to let their investment go to waste.....they will look after it, nurture it, and try build on the initial investment. DIC would of done exactly the same thing.

or is the reason for their favourtism on here because they had more money to throw around:whatever:
