Sorry to say that doesn't mean he went bankrupt. That means a company he owned did. Very different matter.


Indeed it is. Also that article is nearly 6 years old.

According to Forbes they are worth £700M combined.. Hicks £450, and Gillet £250M - both have been bankrupt before.. and neither has much cash readies... they are individually in the Steve Morgan league and at least he supports us and knows his Man United from his Man Ham.

Absolute rubbish. Justify yourself.

Mate he has been pulled apart on that, I looked on Forbes and they list Hicks as $1.3bn and don't list Gilett. WHilst arguing with Kurtangle he used the echo as his source and it stated Gillett as being worth $860m. He invented the figures and hoped no one would check.

How come Rashdish is suddenly back on here anyway? Christmas has come early

There's doom to report so he's around, as he always is, whenever that needs doing.

Oh **** off you idiot, he can say what he likes on here. If you don't like it stick it up your arse and**** right back off to TLW with all your little gimps.

What did you do there yesterday ?

@ fredo

Fredo, you've become a proper ****-stirrer since you got the sack. At first, it pissed me off royally but now it's worn me down to the point where it is actually quite funny.
On every controversial thread you take the devil's advocate route and then when people react you become all "holier than thou".

Funny

How am I a **** stirrer ?? By siding against the americans ?? Please explain as I think there's a certain clique in here who regard themselves as 'Holier than thou' as you say and who just go about their business into winding some people and that may or may not include you.

So much ****e posted now. It's become hysterical. All the forums have become divisive as well. I really smell a conspiracy on this - all the people who lost their contacts with the old board are willing everything to fail. No-one is getting behind the club - it's just all very dramatic for the wums. There are a lot of people who are going to lose their reputations over these months and with good reason.

To be fair mate, I think the wums as you say are in the minority here. It's simply a case of the forums being divided, with those prepared to give people the benefit of the doubt and others who won't.

It's funny because there are some who will criticize Rafa as soon as we get a bad result but who will take the defense of the americans when the journos are putting on negative stories in the press about us.

To be fair I think the arguments are separate. We may all have tactical differences with Rafa (which is one of the reasons for which the forums are here) but the whole the owners against Rafa/the staff/the players is a different issue. Why do so many people want to divide the club? There is an agenda here that is against all of us in the end.

Which agenda ? In the press ?

Maybe so, but I think it's a fairly naive view to think there's some sort of conspiracy theory against us.

If you look at the english press as a whole, you'll see that they all point in the same direction and the fact that there has been a problem between Rafa and the owners cannot be understated.

Why criticize Bascombe ? He's a Liverpool supporter and I don't think he'll be going on about his job just to put the spin on things to serve the agenda of his Newspaper !

I think some people just won't look at facts and accept that our beloved club is being run by muppets. This could well happen and we aren't immune to this sort of ****.

The most important thing is to support the team and back the manager 100%. Everyone should be united behind the team, no matter who is in charge. The club is there to win trophies and to play football matches and put a smile back on people's faces. Everything else is irrelevant.

Bill Shankly epitomized all that.

Yes, in the press. And no, it's not naive. They sell their headlines on this kind of **** and a lot of us fall for it.

A set of junior schoolkid reporters could tell there were differences between the board and Rafa a few weeks ago. It doesn't take a lot of inside info to work that out. But the vile hacks works us all up into lather about it. It's all ****e. Someone post a real fact instead of all this **** - that would cheer me up this christmas instead of all the cock talked in the place of serious debate.

People on here should be able to differentiate between what's **** or not. Spouting about the press selling **** won't change anything.

If you want to cheer up, go to a circus and don't log on here. It's as depressing reading people moaning about what not to post and what to post. We can't segregate people for posting what they want.

You know I really have tried my best with you but the majority are right - you really don't have anything about you at all. You didn't even try to reply to my post at all. You are utterly useless.

Well, did you bring something new to the debate ?

What's a fact for you ?
