The proposed takeover by the Red Sox owners is:

When I woke up after a 12 hour sleep, and I was told that LFC had been sold I thought I was still dreaming. However it actually seems true. At first I was like, meh. Now i'm like, meh. Till it goes through and is confirmed i'll still be like, meh.

I googled around and found this

shafted by cunts though. people who aren't cunts won't shaft us like that. these people aren't cunts.

it's sad, it's like we're rape victims, and we don't hate rapists anymore, we just hate men.

Yeah the point is, at first we didn't think Hicks was a cunt either. People are naturaly cautious on this and will be for a good while yet.

Would much rather the Yankees (RIP George) own us, or better yet Bill Gates. I guess if things go through it should be good enough. One thing the Sox are great at is over-selling their youngsters, so we might be able to sell of our youngsters at huge profit at last

The Yankees are scum

they prefer young, intelligent management. choosing good managers and coaches is their best attribute. let's be honest, on the footballing side of things, there really isn't more to be done than that other than signing checks. all they have to do is be able to do those two things better than other owners, and they've proved they can.

How strange that we've also got our own 'resident' Boston Red Sox fan in here. My head really hurts.

As you said, it seems the club is being well run on the business side of things, we only need the correct management on the pitch and maybe not that much investment on the playing side - well I'll argue that we need at least a good solid £50m initial investment on the playing staff.

Cross fingers Hicks and Gillett are gone soon.

but the people who knew who he was knew he was a cunt the whole time. nobody thinks john henry is a cunt.

[spanky]

If they get the business model setup like arsenals then I'd be happy. Above all just a stable well run club that's competitive in all competitions.

[little dave hedgehog]

they actually spent more than they were expected to for improvements to the fenway area.

[EwarWoo]

Optimistic, but very reservedly after the last sale.

Guess that puts me in the just don't know category.

Was he Marlins owner in 97?

Nice to see also we have 6 people going for the bigoted moron award.

Roumors about Hicks Corintians escapades and other stuff started to fly pretty soon after they bought the club. The first checks on these guys looks a bit more promising. Have a look at JD link.
I fully understand that people are cautious, I am myself, but it looks some had their expectations too high.
All in all I`m happy with this, and let`s hope they do a with us what they`ve done with the Red Sox

[badpiggy]

I hope this is a good fit for us. The redsox are a legendary baseball team - we're a legendary football team in need of really good and visionary management in a sports sense to drive us back where we should be. No debt, new manager and investment in the players in the next transfer window and we can start to function again.
