"Media is pissed off with this entire take over saga as they are being kept in the dark and hence have decided to boycott the process beyond october 6th starting tomorrow.
My dad is senior editor of The daily Mail."

. .hmmm. .a couple of thoughts spring to mind.

1. I doubt. .no, I think it is complete nonsense. . that any paper would 'boycott' the story of the takeover once it breaks. I'm not sure if you've ever had a chat with your 'dad' but stories sell papers. .even an utter rag like the Mail.

2. If your 'dad', as 'senior editor', did boycott the story I wonder how he ever reached that exalted career position with decisions like that? Ask him for me would you? Maybe he worked for the s*n?

Of course it is possible that you're just a t*thead.

Has anyone translated this crap yet?"

You know a couple of months ago the "believers" (as they came to be known) would have this nailed as a secret message from the club to the fans.

I miss those posts.

Sharkey

You're not going to let me forget mate are you?

Round about the same time a certain Oracle/ Prophet pedicted that Torres would be moving to Chelsea.

Any idea who i'm talking about?

Ed. This is coming from the guy that said Gerrard to Real was a done deal 100% (see archives). Sorry Ed for the short lived feeling of reassurance. LOL

Also from the guy that told you about Yossi to Chelsea a month before it happened. Cheque the archives Ed.

Transfers fall through when the players have a change of heart.

I realise that others have commented on this drivel but, honestly, how could anybody. .and I really do mean anybody. .believe, for a second, that the individual who vomited this selection of letters is a reliable source of information.

Please, my friend, get educated, at least to a basic level, before entering the world of grown ups.

Coming from Macca that is grand. Macca, have you forgotten that you once said Gerrard to Real Madrid was a done deal. Or do you have a short memory? LOL


I can assure you Gerrard was very close to leaving, a lot of people at the club thought he was going to Madrid.

Their where two reasons why it never materialised, firstly the club wanted too much money and secondly he wasnt sure how his family would settle.

Thanks for the sarcastic reply, i can assure you that my information is not made up from guesswork but from an individual from the board.

Difficult to believe, i can understand that.

The message i received was that the takeover is close. No names where mentioned or timeframes given.

Just that it was close.

Hope so Macca then you can come back on here and tell me "I told you so".

I work in a stable in Ireland which has strong links with the Godolphin team in Dubai. Rumour here is that Shekik Mohammand is interested in Liverpool and has been in formal discussions with the club. However we were told that theres another Middle Eastern party that Shekik Mohammand cannot compete with financially and is hoping that hes picked as the best bidder and not the highest bidder as he can't match his rival.

HOW ABOUT PRINCE AL WALEED BIN TALAL AL SAUD?

Not sure who his rival is. We just got talking to a racing manager for godolphin who was over meeting our boss and there are alot of liverpool fans in the yard, so they quizzed if he knew anything and were told that Shekik Mahommad is interested and has been in formal talks lately but that he faces stiff competition from the middle east. I wish I knew more. Maybe weve all been had one but i believe what we were told to be correct. If not I apologise in advance.

Just wondering which stable/ stud you work at or the location if you can't say. I feel the Sheikh would be a great owner for us and would love this to be true.

What aload of horse s* t.will you muppets ever f*ck off.I actually work in martinstown stud and godolphin have no input ireland.

Quite right, Godolphin have no interests in Ireland, but as you should know Sheik Mohammed and his brother Sheik Hamdan have plenty of horses in Ireland under their own names. Is it inconceivable then that a racing manager will go and discuss these horses on their behalf? Calm down.

14 Sep 2010 21:51:14
What aload of horse s* t.will you muppets ever f*ck off.I actually work in martinstown stud and godolphin have no input ireland.

Godolphin have no input in name only. Sheikh Mohammed has a handful of horses trained in ireland running in his own colours and his brother hamdam has numerous horses in training also in his own colours.
The Sheikh also owns 7 studs in Ireland the foremost being Kildangan for his Darley breeding operation.
Hamdam owns Derrinstown Stud as part of the Shadwell operation.
The above would suggest that the previous poster may be correct(maybe)

How's Istabraq by the way?

Torres has been told in no uncertain terms to buck up his work rate or risk losing his place in the team - Hodgson, despite his public defence of the striker, is extremely annoyed at the lack of work and desire shown by Torres, and is willing to drop him to prove how strongly he feels.

Hodgson is hugely impressed with the application, skill and desire being shown by a number of the youngsters and is looking to reward that with a place in the team.

I, for one, agree with him - We are not good enough to have a 'sulking' star in the team, who spends longer blaming those around him than trying himself.

If Torres showed half the desire that the like of Lucas shows, he would be a world beater week in week out, not just in the 'bigger' games.

Lucas may not have an awful lot to his game, but at least he tries

Oh he's flying under the radar is he? That's why you claimed it was all over the German news. Seriously, it's one thing to make up a lie, but quite another to chase it and make yourself look foolish.
Keith Harris is extremely well known and it is likely that his clients are known to the media too, they just haven't been linked by any corroborative evidence. You've made up a name using various aspects of Franco-Germanic-Prussian places and lineages, invented a profession and tried to hook people. You caught a few, but not many, it's time for you go back to the drawing board mate, nobody is buying it. Your problem was claiming it was all over the German newspapers and radio - a claim which you couldn't back up. Next time do what the rest of the jokers do and pick a name off the Forbes rich list and don't pretend it's all over the foreign media as even the Murdoch gutter press would've picked it up and my German mates would've phoned me the second such a story broke.

To the guy who wrote

Liverpool Takeover rumour
I was fortunate enough to have a table at Jamie Carraghers gala dinner and spoke with a board member who was more than happy to answer our questions with regards to the proposed takeover, he confirmed that the club has just done it's end of year accounts and that they'd made a profit of £35 million, there are 4 very good bids on the table from very good suitors, however all are waiting for the 6th October, when effectivley the RBS will take control of the club.

The RBS have guaranteed the board that they have no intentions of putting the club into administration or putting any additional debt on the club, therefore all the 4 bidders are quite happy to wait till the 6th October and purchase the club for the £237 million owed to the RBS, making sure that H & G don't get a penny - also H & G have no way of stopping this process, as Ayre, Purslow and Broughton now on the board and have the final say.

Finally should none of the 4 bidders be successful in the bid, the RBS have already confirmed that they are happy to take the club on and have Ayre, Purslow and Broughton running the club as they currently doing so, the debt then becomes equity. Happy times just around the corner only a month to go.

Its sounds good but why would a board member tell a random person what the club is doing re: the ownership issue? For all he knows you could be a reporter who will try and sell your story to any old rag.

You maybe right but personally I'll wait for a club statement before I believe anything as we've all heard to many good stories only to be disappointed

14 Sep 2010 14:33:03
I suppose a lot of these rumours could have been leaked deliberately by the club as a smoke screen in case anything is leaked in error about a genuine offer.That way because there are so many rumours no one will really know the truth until an official announcement is made.
I don't think we can assume anything until that time.

My guess would be that it's another wind-up merchant posting rubbish. If even tabloids like Bild aren't reporting about him (or even have any search results for him at all) then it's not worth wasting your time. If the poster were serious he'd have put up a url, some people just like to try and spread false rumours to see if they take on and congratulate themselves about it.

That is priceless coming from RBS execs

More and more bidders/ buyers names will be thrown around by the Media in the next few weeks but in reality they havn't got a clue either.
Just ask Tony Evans of the Times who had the Haung/ CIC story on the front page he's probably fighting to keep his job. But he'll be safe as the Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch/ Anti Christ and we know how good he is at lies.

If you did and have, you will have seen and heard the Markus von Hoenzollern-Viet's bid for the club is at an advanced stage, It appears that if he ain't called Bob Smith, drives a Mondeo and drinks at The Black Bull in Walton, they you ain't that bothered or believing it!

Yaya Kirdi was said to be in advanced talks to buy the club a month ago and what happened to him?

And why has the crappy British Media not been reporting it? And remember it was being reported at the weekend that a Hong Kong buisness man was leading the race to buy our Great Club. And this apparentlly was being leeked by Barcleys/ Barcap no less.

More and more bidders/ buyers names will be thrown around by the Media in the next few weeks but in reality they havn't got a clue either.

Just ask Tony Evans of the Times who had the Haung/ CIC story on the front page he's probably fighting to keep his job. But he'll be safe as the Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch/ Anti Christ and we know how good he is at lies.

Only passing on what i've been told by a banker friend of mine in the Middle East. Apparently Al Kharafi group to make significant bid for Liverpool on 6th October, this will be the 3rd bid by this group in 2 years. They are looking to build a new stadium & grow their profile around the Middle & Far east. Ignore ''Hong Kong'' rumours, they are not true at all!

The laon has officially been classified as toxic by RBS now source Radio4 ) which means it is less likely that any further extensions will be provided. I have heard that G&H are scraping around in the US to try and find the money to repay the loan. If they do not (As we pray and hope), the move to categorise the debt as toxic effectively means that the bank will take over the assets which form the collateral for the loan (i.e our beloved club)

This is I think the current state of play and as it is so close to D-Day, all the prospective buyers are simply sitting tight to see if they can acquire the club from the bank rather than pay an over inflated valuation set by the Yanks.

I do not think therefore, that it is productive to be speculating about potential bidders at this point as it is quite certain that more suitors will come forward if and when the bank takes control of the club.

Nobody has any idea?
That must include you as well mate!

I guess you don't speak German nor check out the German media?
If you did and have, you will have seen and heard the Markus von Hoenzollern-Viet's bid for the club is at an advanced stage, It appears that if he ain't called Bob Smith, drives a Mondeo and drinks at The Black Bull in Walton, they you ain't that bothered or believing it!
Clown!

The Yanks came out of nowhere and I am thinking that this German arms dealer with Danish wife and apparently big European money behind him, will be something similar.

I don't know much else apart from what I read, listen to on German radio and TV, but at least I give it some credit.

Yo ed. . . . . what exactly happens on the 6th of october? does our club automatically go to auction. . . . . . if it does go to auction what was the appointment of broughton all about?. . . . . . . . . .cheers mr.clippers {ed's note - no one is certain what will happen, it is when the loans are due to be repaid mate. It is all conjecture as to what will happen when/if the loans are not repaid.}

German bloke Viet? ?where is the source?ED, dis u heard about this other than the posts from this site? {ed's note - only heard of him through rumours mate. His name has been plastered all over the net lately, though that could be coming from here very easily. I don't have any sources involved in the takeover so I can't dismiss it or back it up though sorry.}

14 Sep 2010 11:29:49
Does anyone from the 'official' Liverpool supporters' groups come on here?
Just heard that this German bloke Viet is coming into Liverpool (no doubt by private jet!) tomorrow and is looking to talk to fans.
Anyone heard this?

I back the Ed 100% on what he says about Aqua.
The guy was injured when we brought him so Rafa would have had no chance to watch him except on DVDs he would have been given, im not sure where these DVDs would of come from whether they be Rafas own scouts or the player's agent?
When it was announced we where buying Aqua I had a quick look at him on YouTube (not the most reliable source to check out a players quality I know) and the lad looked great and I was really excited that we had brought him.
If Rafa had only DVDs to watch the player on and they made him look as good as YouTube did then I can see why we brought him.
But the fact is when he got in to training he was no good, I heard stories that he couldn't get the ball off any of the other players, something which players from other teams have no problem doing on a Saturday afternoon.
When Roy came in he said he was going to look at all the players before he started buying and selling (some players were already on there way out Yossi etc), he looked at Aqua and realised he wasn't going to feature in the team so loaned him out.
Rafa made a mistake, he also made some really good buys but this one didn't pull off.
As Ed said Tagart does it as well, he didn't even look at Bebe and apparently he's not even good enough to get in to the reverse.
Aquas gone now and the best we can hope for is that we make some of the money we pent on him back so we can start to re-build

Rumours@ Malaysian millionare related on takeover LFC , Datuk Padmatahan and Surendran - famous land brokers.

This is in pretty poor taste given that they have just been charged over the murder and burning of four individuals in a land deal. Typical MIC drivel monyet keling.

22 days countdown. . .ed do think there's real offer on the table? {ed's note - yes there were. But I don't think any were left on the table and they are being held back until after the 6th.}

Viet is certainly NOT after cheap publicity.
He is a very reclusive figure and rarely seen in the public eye.
He travels with bodyguards and is married to a Danish millionairesss called Helena Chrstiniana - Mellebach whose father was a close personal friend of Prince Joachim of Denmark - who I think (but don't quote me) is an investment banker.

My German isn't all that, but it appears he has close links with Borussia Dortmund and as I have read on here and in the German media, he likes the idea of 'twinning' Liverpool with Dortmund for youth development.

I can't bang on about money with any knowledge apart from what I've read and heard, but it appears the deal is a 'cash' one, whatever that legally entails.

My view is that he would be a good buyer for the club, especially if he does not intend to take the role of chairman. It was suggested and mentioned on here by someone elese, that he will apppoint a former player. Lots of candidates, but only Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen would the ones for me. I would guess at Kenny.

14 Sep 2010 10:21:02
At least the German bid would increase the teams fire power!
This I suspect is another chancer looking for cheap publicity and the real bidders will show there hands around 6th October .
Happy days ahead.

"Not true. DIC have not invested in RBS. Please back up your statement with facts. You talk about their influence on RBS. Senior executives at RBS call Sheikh Maktoum "Sheikh Make Doom". The guy is floating in $hite. DIC is not anywhere near the picture."

That is priceless coming from RBS execs

German radio stations last night reporting that the arms dealer Markus von Hohenzollern-Viet is poised to announce his formal bid for the club.
The formal bid is expected to be around €595 million and von Hohenzollern-Viet is to announce his two other partners - one is an American computer person, the other is surprisingly a Dutch construction company.

This has been in the wind for weeks and despite the mocking of some posters on here, it looks like it's going through.

"RBS are invested in by DIC to a huge level and have some influence within (use to work for RBS)"

Not true. DIC have not invested in RBS. Please back up your statement with facts. You talk about their influence on RBS. Senior executives at RBS call Sheikh Maktoum "Sheikh Make Doom". The guy is floating in $hite. DIC is not anywhere near the picture.
