Rafa

[HillyHugger]

Pondering the important questions of the world as I do at this time of the day I wondered how Rafa is feeling about Liverpool's financial woes ? They must have promised him plenty of spending money when he signed his new contract . Not heard anything in the press though . Anyone ?

No Club will disclose how much Transfer money they have to spend but Rafa has stated that if need be he will break Liverpool's Transfer record to land the Player or Players he needs. Fringe players such as Jermaine Pennant will be sold. The number of First Team Squad Players may be reduced but replaced by better quality in depth.
The overall Financial situation should come to a head next month when Gillette and Hicks must come up with new proposals for Guaranteeing the Loan they took out to buy LFC and Build the New Stadium in Stanley Park.
With 60,000 on the waiting list for Season Tickets a new Stadium is Paramount. The club may be re-sold in the Summer but who knows who the buyer or Buyers will be.
Share Liverpool FC headed by Rogan Taylor have sent letters to Gillette and Hicks offering to buy the Club but so far there has been no response from them. The Club would then be owned by the Fans themselves if this came about.
Things need to come to a head sooner rather than later for everyone's benefit as at present there is little direction as to where the Club are heading structure wise. A new CEO to replace Rick Parry will happen shortly and that should be only the start !

Ain't going to happen Haggis

Agree with HillyHugger, Haggisdj, it aint going to happen.
Even if Gillette and Hicks accept the �80m utd are to get for Ronaldo, Torres would not go and Benitez would resign.
The Yanks would never set foot in Liverpool again for their own safety.
The only good thing about the Express is its General Knowledge Crossword on Sunday. The rest of the paper is a load of twaddle from front to back !
