We are not in £80m of debt. It's £17m.
Lots of rumours flying around Anfield this weekend, without much substance and a little contradiction. Removing the "I want to make a name for myself" posters from the equation, reliable lad on ynwa heard Moores had sold out to Gillett and someone else there said they knew someone at a London solicitor's working on due dilligence for Gillett. Another lad on RAWK (not posted though) heard Saturday it's down to Miskelly and Gillett and the meeting to discuss it takes place tomorrow. On TTWAR a lad spoke to two ex-players who work at Anfield and were flying out to La Manga yesterday and they said it's Gillett taking over.
Gillet was at the club last Thursday - Duncan seems to have cottoned onto this after being posted on a couple of other sites though.

For me there's more to new owners coming in than just money. There are loads of things I think are more important. Of course money is essential but just because someone is richer than X doesn't mean they are the best for the job.
Obviously the right people will care about the club but I want people who want to promote us globally. I liked Morgan's quote that time he said he was sick of seeing United shirts all over the world, wherever he went.
I don't want us to become another Chelsea. I don't want us to go money crazy. I want us to spend wisely. We have often missed out on a top class player for the sake of a million here and million there. I don't want us to pay £20m for someone that's worth £10m.
One of the reasons L4 were so quiet about their cash was because they didn't want other clubs to know what they'd have.
All of these overseas links worry me, especially when Reds like Morgan could work with Moores without having too much disruption at the club.
It sounds like I favour Morgan these days, maybe I do, maybe that's just because of a lack of options. I wasn't keen on him at first as I thought he was too outspoken but I've kind of warmed to him because I feel that's just passion and frustration boiling over.
Anyway, my original post was more about not getting obsessed with a person's wealth. Don't bring me the richest bidder, bring me the best package.
It's long term, not short term that we should be thinking about.
