I predict 80 pages of ranting, Hicks abuse, pointless conjecture and every possible scenario obsessed over until we have to start the process again.

Your a fast learner.

"I believe that the Hicks family are communicating better with us and we're communicating better with them and I think that will be much better for the club."

However, Gillett refused to give a direct answer when asked if he was still interested in selling his share, saying: "I'm not going to comment on anything specifically."

Gillett, though, expects improvements next season and has hinted that Benitez will be supported in the transfer market, where Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry is a top target.

Transfer window

"All of us are focused on the transfer window and we want to be ready for that," added Gillett.

"We want to have adequate resources and good communication with Rafa and our hope is that we're making better progress.

"For a club that has a history of winning trophies, any season that you don't win one of the five or six trophies that we compete for, I suspect the fans, as well as the Hicks and Gilletts, are disappointed.

"We have to help Rafa try and be more competitive in the chase for the Premier League."

So why are we looking at buying players like Milner then? Put your money where your mouth is.

I hope they fall off the end off this bridge when they've finished building it.

The more stable the situation the more likely someone else is to buy Gilletts share ... would you buy a house from someone who described their next door neighbour as a total w@*ker whom no-one could get on with ?

rossipersempre · « **Reply #329 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:17:05 pm »

Yes I'm sure they've made up and are building bridges....

"Foster! Get your people to call that inbred sonofabitch's son, Tom Jr's people and tell them/him/his stubborn fat hogswilling Texan father, that we may need to sign a poor man's Snoogy Doogy this summer so as to avoid even more death-threats. Tell them/him/his father we can just use more of the loan money. Oh and tell them/him/his father not to argue, as we need to keep this media PR lie up that we're settling our differences - at least until we can sell up next season"

Not allowed to. Vendor must legally disclose any formal neighbour 'issues'.

We weren't 350m in debt then though, with the servicing costs associated with that.

As it happens I agree that one or missed two CL campaigns won't be the death knell. But they'll make things for hairier than we need them to be. There are no positives about being in the situation we are in even if the negatives aren't as bad as they could be.

I just can't understand why you won't see that.

With all due respect..

The debt is not the issue. All G&H need is enough turnover to pay off the interest. Period.

I believe any accountant can tell you that getting enough revenue/profit to pay off the entire loan was never the goal. Maybe one has.

So far, have you seen RBS and Wachovia claim anything regarding non payment of interest? ttnbd's analysis of the latest books showed interest was being paid.

RedSandgrounder · « **Reply #332 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:18:51 pm »

"adequate recourses"

Milner - adequate, we are too big a club to have to put up with adequacy!

Piechniks Picnic · « **Reply #334 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:22:03 pm »

Could Gillett and Hicks' 'coming together' be a result of the Hicks clan offering an attractive package for Gillett's share?

Ratboy3G · « **Reply #335 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:28:58 pm »

I have secured some dynamite underneath the bridge and when they're half way accross...BOOM!

This is not good at all that means they will be around for alot longer to fuck things up more not good news at all well we can expect shit transfers for the next 10 years or more,god help us.

Stussy · « **Reply #337 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:41:21 pm »

They bit off more than they can chew. They didn't realise what it would take to achieve a sustained level of success that we aspire to, what it would involve. Its'a different culture, sporting and emotionally and economically. And they just can't do it well.

Well if they're being paid, it's at the expense of actually having any money to spend in the transfer market.

It's at the expense of going for world class players. Instead of Quaresma and Ronaldinho we have to target Milner and Downing.

A Couple of more summers like that and you'll see us sliding down the league table as fast as fuck.

runkerry1 · « **Reply #339 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:46:26 pm »

this seems just another media spin-off to keep us fans onboard.... but I seem to remember that DIC said a while back that they would only make an approach to buy, if Hicks & Gilletts relationship was on more level ground..... ??

Could this be the turning point in something behind the scenes?

xavidub · « **Reply #340 on:** June 20, 2008, 05:56:46 pm »

Anything less than Gillett and Hicks saying "goodbye" is a profound irritation and disappointment.

why the smiley faces? are we supposed to be happy that the club is paying the debt? are u that far up Hicks's arse that you thinkwe should be happy about it? would you rather we pay interest on loans then buy players or stregthen the squad???

Stevo75 · « **Reply #343 on:** June 20, 2008, 06:07:32 pm »

If Gillet & Hicks were back to being mates again, dont you think Parry would be out of a job by now?!

Adequate resources, eh? I'll be shocked if we spend more a couple of million net this summer.

I second that mate. These 2 crafty bastards are lower than a snakes belly.

Considering they are attempting to repair their relationship can only be bad news for the club in the long run. More worryingly is that these 2 fat greedy bastards may now be singing from the same songsheet and conspiring to deliver even more lies, bullshit and turmoil.

Le Terrible · « **Reply #346 on:** June 20, 2008, 06:17:30 pm »

DON'T TRUST A WORD THESE TWO BASTARDS SAY.

And btw, Sing Songs, petitions and walkabouts won't get them out either.

No more ignoring them if they dare to come to Anfield again. They should expect some serious shite to go off if they do. No more fucking around. GET IN TO THEM...GET IN TO THEM.

Any Anfield appearance should leave them scared out of their wits, with the game abandoned with one pitch invasion after another.

The problem is that we would have to pay the interest for two loans, the club and the stadium, and that without any extra income the next three, four years until the stadium is built.

Can you please answer this question.

From where will G&H find at least £60m/year until the stadium is built?

As usual, a brilliant idea from Le Terrorist. It would be fantastic to get us docked points and reinforce the idea that Liverpool fans are trouble makers, wouldn't it? It would really put paid to those old stereotypes. I'm sure Rafa would stick around with a points handicap.

Genius.
