Commercial revenues, which include merchandise and sponsorship, grew by £13.5m to £67.7m.Included in this is a trebling in overseas revenues and highlights the work of Commercial Director Ian Ayre, who was made a director of the club last December

That paragraph there shows exactly how far in the dark ages we were, trebling overseas revenues, trebling

it's not just the fact it's trebled but how fast we've managed to treble it

This is because this year I bought 3 CL shirts , for my kids and me. Last year the club sold none in Germany because nobody could get them them. Every major sprts shop I used to ask always gave the same answer "We would love to sell Liverpool kit, but the club cant be bothered"

Now you always find Liverpool shirts where Addidas has outlets.

**** Parry, the £40m interest payments is the worrying part.

this ^^^


classic diversionary tactics by 'SENIOR SOURCES' within the club attempting to deflect what should of been the main issue .... reading this thread , it looks like its working

that was the real story in 'burying the bad news on election results day'

manipulation of the press on a grand scale

[barnes10]

Parry played a large part in bringing those interest payments on us. that's why he's hated and reviled.

**** Parry indeed

**** Parry indeed

this is indeed the stance the club want

they know its hard to fight on 1 front ... let alone 2 ...

now i think Coco is as culpable as Moores in whats gone on before but that's water long under the bridge and chickenfeed in the grand scheme of things

remember Stalingrad in laymans terms

fighting 2 wars which couldn't be sustained

it's time to keep focused on who the real enemy is

Stop talking ****e man. Moores dug into his own pockets many a time during his time. He sold to the wrong people for the right reasons because of moaning ****s like you who forced him out for a lack of business acumen.

So now we have business men, well done. I thank you and your whingebag colleagues with short memories, shorter fuses and complete lack of understanding about what it used to mean to be a Liverpool fan.

I thank Moores for his years of dedicated and selfless service to the club and the integrity and consideration that allowed him to relinquish his prized possesion in the hope of letting it grow. So he ****ed up at the last hurdle, i'm not convinced DIC would have seen us do a lot better over the last few years.

So are H & G the only businessmen in the world?. We wanted people to develop the abilities of the club to market itself and bring in more money TO COMPETE. I have no qualms with their abilities in that regard. We're moving forward.

When I was told about family silver and hiring of consultants specifically to make sure we get the sale right - to the right owners, I had confidence that we'd find suitable new owners. Two points here:

1 Given that you can google them to raise serious enough doubts about their suitability for a club of the standing of ours - which I know plenty about btw so get of your ridiculous high horse. Plenty of older fans think DM and RP were @rseholes for their final act. This is negligence.

2. Debt was clearly a concern, we have a key clause in the structure of the club whereby the holding company can't push atheltic & grounds club into insolvency. So why, if debt is such a concern, sell to highly leveraged debt merchants? Could they not see that coming?

All we do actually know is that DM was offered 10% more by the yanks and that was enough to go for these pair of cunts to take us to the cleaners. RP gets his nice bonus and also this payoff so why the hell wouldnt i think that their motivation was honourable and for the better of the club.

your opinion is yours - which I think is sh1te - and mine is mine - which you think is ****e.

I agree with these bits. However, how the **** anyone can possibly state that Moores & Parry couldn't have known how bad these two parasites could be for the club, is utter utter nonsense.

Seriously. Did they think 'ah, but Corinthians is a whole different kettle of kippers' ?
Bollocks.
Didn't the words 'leveraged buyout specialist' trigger even a modicum of alarm?

It's totally unreasonable to believe that Moores, a lifelong supporter and someone who genuinely has/had the best interests of the club at heart, could be so utterly ****ing stupid as to not know what he's getting in bed with

If he didn't sell us to whomever for a few extra quid, then at the very very least, its gross incompetance on the biggest possible stage, and he should hang his head

Spot on IMO

[Bender]

I'll say it again did anyone from lfc parry,moores,club acountants do anything close to a proper business check on these two ......no just saw they were offerring more money per share and sold us out

[CJ]

i doubt that googling is proper research in a takeover. yet it is something people say the club should have done.

so he sold us to the wrong owners and made some more money for himself. i still think its the americans who should be reviled and not moores.

oh come on. googling is used here as an example of just how easy it is to find out how sh1t a track record they have.

'proper research' should be more investigative and reveal more detail than google right? The proplem is that either no proper research was done or the unsuitability of the buyers was deliberately overlooked.

They were negligent in this sale and as above in the thread, the only thing we do know is that they both did extremely well out of the deal personally. So were they lured into the mistake of negligent amounts research or did they focus solely on lining their own pockets in the knowledge that the yanks we're the right owners?

Whichever option is true, given to the state of our club as a consequence, the pair of them can go to hell.

btw of course the americans are the biggest criminals here. My issue, and this thread, targets why we shouldnt overlook the part that RP and DM's negligence in the sale.

If Moores had just sacked Parry and got in a decent MD we'd be much better off, but the rattle throwers wanted a sugar daddy and forced Moores out.

[barnes10]

Thats not the way I saw it Bollob. 'Rattle throwers' (still on that high horse I see) responded to Moores lack of willingness to take the club forward once he'd confirmed he wasnt willing to put the club in debt for the stadium. we all accepted that we needed professional businessmen to maximise the clubs potential (stadium, marketing etc just like the mancs and madrid...) so we can compete at the very top.

Moores wasnt prepared to take out loans on behalf of the club for the stadium. And its basically that simple. The rest stemmed from there. Most that I spoke to loved moores as a fan-chairman and the ideal scenario would have been for him to have stayed on and taken the loans. Given he wasnt prepared to do it, we had to accept him moving aside.

If a better MD could have convinced him and given him more confidence etc then I'd agree with you. The crux of the matter was RP said 'you can keep it and take on an effing great mortgage (120 mill if i remember for the parry bowl...) or you can sell up to those able to take the club forward. DM said 'has to be the latter'.

Then they took the money and ran...
