Why does Altidore seem to think Football offsides is the same as hockey offsides?

FUCKING YES!!!!!!!! :D

Yup excellent news. Now we can move on and hopefully play better on the field. Although I've just read Kuyt could be done for the year which is not good news at all.

Don't get too excited fellas.

Apparently with the latest offer on the table from a Singapore billionaire things could get messy. NESV is claiming they already have a deal, but apparently Liverpool is reviewing the bid from Singapore.

This bid pays off all debts, and would give Roy 40 million pounds to buy new signings.

It just seems like NESV is a more reputable buyer. Even if they give us only 25-30 million pounds, thats fine as long as that number is consistent over the years.

Also, I'm kind of confused about this, but can we still use the money left over from the summer or what?

LOL @ 1BN in damages, LOL @ an RBS conspiracy and LOL @ thinking a Texas court has any jurisdiction in England, beyond ridiculous to even try this and is a last act of desperation, this will be sorted tomorrow and good fucking riddance to the pair of them.

They would've been fine if Steinbrenner owned them.

H&G lost again, they've been given till 4 tomorrow afternoon to comply :D

[Bigpapa42]

In a way, I've enjoyed seeing Liverpool go through all this drama and it amuses me that they're currently sitting at the bottom... but honestly, at this point, even I want to kick Hicks & Gilette in the teeth...

[CaribbeanJoseph]

H&G have dropped the restraining order, now it's just a matter of getting the deal through in time, we're almost there

[mgoblue2290]

Ugh. Not so fast. It looks like Hicks dropped the order so he can try an sell his shares to Mill Financial, the company that owns Gillette's shares. In that case Mill Financial would pay off the loan to RBS and H&G would in essence still remain in control.

These guys are too much. I think at this point they're intentionally trying to fuck the club.

I know I don't even get it. Not one person wants them there anymore. Just cut your losses and go back to owning a hockey team that shouldn't even exist in the first place.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

The PL rejected Mills request to take the ownership test, though they will still pursue damages, H&G have given up on trying to block the sale and NESV look set to take control, wooooooooooooo :D

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Takeover is complete, NESV are new owners, the H&G era is finally over

Takeover is complete, NESV are new owners, the H&G era is finally over

Hopefully we can beat Everton this weekend and get this ship turned completely around.

[mgoblue2290]

The official online store is having a 20% off sale right now on everything. I'm probably going to buy a home shirt. Gotta decide between Gerrard and Carragher.

[citizenerased]

A guy who's off to Madrid in 8 months or a washed up thug.

Decisions, Decisions.
