davieG Posted 24 January 2007 Author Share Posted 24 January 2007 They've not been waiting as long as us Mr Gibson! That we know of, lots of activity can and does happen without it being in the media. ours seems long winded because MM decided to use the media to strenghten his takeover options? Liverpool have been in several different take over scenarios in the past few years that have never come to fruition, Freddie Shepard has recently gone public critcising Hall over his procrastination re his shareholding which is affecting possible takeovers, with two potential bidders having dropped out. I would hazard that both sets of fans have found this as frustrating as LCFC fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ask for the Scousers, I'm quite sure winning the Champions league and the FA cup will have helped sooth their poor tortured souls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 24 January 2007 Share Posted 24 January 2007 The difference is... over the past few years, these clubs have bought the likes of Michael Owen, Obafemi Martins, James Milner, that Turkish fella in midfield, Xabi Alonso, Dirk Kuyt... I could go on and on and on... whilst we've signed Josh Low and an assortment of other shitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo V Posted 24 January 2007 Share Posted 24 January 2007 I dont think we can compare teh takeovers at Liverpool and Newcastle with ours. Both chairman have splashed out so much cash at the aforementioned clubs and they are selling there club in a bid to take them up a level and in Liverpools case, build a stadium. Our takeover is looking more and more like a desperation move as we have so much debt and no money to spend that we are on the verge of HAVING TO DEAL to survive. I just pray that we dont mess this deal up because at least we know what to expect from MM and wouldnt want some unknown come in and butcher things.

I think you will find at Liverpool no money has been put in by the Chairman. At Newcastle, Shepherd and Hall have been using it as a cash cow for ages, drawing out large dividends, plus not inconsiderable salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 24 January 2007 Author Share Posted 24 January 2007 I was only comparing the actual process in terms of it dragging, takeovers of any business are invariably messy especially when you're dealing with multi-shareholder situations, I just don'tthink the LCFC situation is unusual. I put the problem of frustrated fans squaurely on the shoulders of the Merc who have been raising expectations by proclaiming for weeks that it's a done deal.

lookwhaticando Posted 24 January 2007 Share Posted 24 January 2007 Sheepherd put the club up for sale quite awhile after MM announced he intended to buy us. And ask for the Scousers, I'm quite sure winning the Champions league and the FA cup will have helped sooth their poor tortured souls! Surely it was John Hall who's 'put the club up for sale'? After all, he holds the largest share of the plc. And Fat Freddy did recently ponder out loud what exactly Mr Hall was going to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Fat Freddy did recently ponder out loud what exactly Mr Hall was going to do... Well when it was announced on the news that Newcastle was up for sale, it was reported that it was Freddie Sheepherd who had done it, thats what they reported here any way prehaps the Candian press know otherwise?

Fair enough, perhaps I have misinterpreted the latest ramblings and articles. To be fair I've not really followed the Newcastle one... I've enough to worry about with the Leicester one. The latest article on the subject. Edit: Oh yeah, and as if I'd read the Canadian press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bold_fox Posted 24 January 2007 Share Posted 24 January 2007 Tomorrow is supposed to be the day. i imagine that a press conference will be announced in the morning, then the press conference will involve the 100% confirmation that MM has taken over the club. It would also be nice to MM unviel a couple of new signings to steady the boat. Heres to hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_jme Posted 24 January 2007 Share Posted 24 January 2007 Would be nice just to hear, anything good from milan What? Another "the delay isn't from my end" or "it's frustrating for me because I want the deal to be completed as quickly as possible"?? I think Milan should speed things up as much as he can instead of talking to the Mercury or Sky Sports News about things. Maybe that way things would move a bit quicker? And hopefully get finished sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
