Minutes from Christian Purslow and SOS Meeting

[Vermilion]

Depends...according to the Purslow minutes, they're doing a whole lot...read his last couple of paragraphs...sounds to me like new potential investors are put off by the fact that they may face the same treatment as is currently being dished out to Gillett and Hicks.

Easy thing to say though isn't it. Yet the truth is the fans would be made up to have new owners, unless they plan on doing the same as h&g they have nothing to worry about.

edit. ok just realised you meant investors not owners, which is sort of different, so long as they aren't here to bleed the club dry. they too won't have a problem with fans. imo.

It's their actions that will decide whether they get stick or not.

That was just a tarnish for the board, SoS make the fans look like cunts by acting like cunts.

They're doing what they can to reach their goal which is to get rid of G&H, who have proven time and time again that they don't give a **** about us. They're not going to do that by sucking up to management. They have an obligation to say what was said in the meeting. I for one don't believe they made any quotes up and I'd have been pissed at them had they kept things hidden.

hmmmm,

whilst I don't agree with the way g&h have gone about things, without them there would be no Mascherano and no Torres, we would still be playing pre-season friendles in far flung places for free and our marketing department would still be going the way reebok took us which we all complained about post Istanbul, so our income has increased massively and we are far more professional than we ever were

now before anyone jumps at me, I'm not saying that I support g&h but what I am saying is that they haven't done everything badly, I personally don't like them but I can appreciate that they have had some positive impacts on the club, admittedly it was for their own benefit but until someone whiter than white comes in do we really want to sell to someone else we don't really know? look at Portsmouth

Do you really think multi-millionaire/billionaire business people got to where they are, by being bothered what people think?

some of the other sites out there like rawk liverpoolway are all going nuts over this massive coup for SOS and the purslow meeting but are we the only ones who are slightly critical of SOS's tactics arent overly amused by what's happened ?

Yes, so long as they are thoroughly checked out this time, have unlimited wealth, and want so badly to spend it all on Liverpool fc.

I guess it all depends on how they got rich? But i guess the majority don't give a ****!

political harrassment bothers everyone including multi million / billion pound investors.

This site is pretty different from most other Liverpool fan forums, it seems to generally follow a different overall viewpoint on several issues, than most others.

Give over.

It wouldnt even register, compared to the pros of the situation.

If those new potential investors plan to continue the same policy Gillett and Hicks have taken, they'll deserve the treatment they get and I want them nowhere near the club.

An investor with good intentions of bringing this club stability, smart management and support our stadium plans should have nothing to fear. Purslow even mentions in SOS' minutes, that new investors know that they'll be scrutinized and rightfully so. If they can't handle it, again, I don't want them owning the club.

Spot on.

Any new investor will know exactly why they're being approached to invest and exactly how G&H have found themselves in this position, both with the banks and the fans.

They'll realise that if they're planning to do things properly, they wont be barracked.

Ah, so you're both (JohnDoe, Craig_H) saying that Purslow, a man who speaks to these potential investors, is lying then? And that new investors won't give a **** about the turmoil and the bad press that is following the club around, making it a a less appealing option for them?

Lying, it was just CP's opinion wasn't it, not fact, or did he say he had been told this by potential investors ?
