65% < 75% - MM on his way!

[Argus]

Total newbie here...but why can Liverpool have 2 bids for their club in a matter of weeks and have it all sorted to...at a cost 20 times what our club is suppose to be worth...sounds like someone does not want to sell and are dragging their feet hoping MM will give up....another wasted season

 

[Graz]

RL understand that while JJ would like to form another bid if he had the cash, the other 2 who resigned, who own about £700k of shares between them, have still backed the offer and are willing to sell their shares to MM.


Barber says he's now hearing Tuesday, but admits that it keeps changing.

Quite interesting what they're saying, if true. Something about us being in the top 5 most expensive clubs in the country to run behind the scenes (I think he said in terms of as a percentage of turnover). While MM's bid to the shareholders during the course of all of this, his investment will actually still be the same, he's just had to lower the offer because of the huge debts the club has. Barber says if we hadn't sold Connolly we would've made a loss of £4m instead of the profit.

I think that's about all that was said on the takeover..

Because they're professionals

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

More like because one guy owned most of the shares in the first place!

Jason Jarrett has fallen in love with the club quickly then?

 

[Cate Fox]

who wouldnt Glyn??

as much as I would like to agree there. I just cannot pull myself to do it....

Maybe because MM didnt have to buy about 30 odd different people. All the companies behind the L'pool bid just had to take the majority off the Moores Family.

The takeover talk at Liverpool first became public in October, so it certainly didn't take "a matter of weeks".

You can spin that any which way you like. There was also talk of a takeover years ago if you wish to spin it that far back

The fact is though that from DD to complation was less than a week

 

[Durham Fox]

TBF Liverpool wasnt being run by complete incompetent morons.

For the people who eventually bought it, but that was only after months of pissing about with the Dubai Group.

 

[Hazzman]

Also, we were very public about DD. I doubt Liverpool were.

So, you are including the time taken by a totally seperate takeover to fuel your debate :icon_roll

Why is it any different to what's happening at Leicester?

If the people who took over at Liverpool were really that interested why didn't they do something about it months ago, rather than leaving it until the last moment?
Or were they working away in the background all that time without any publicity?

If another consortium makes an offer at Leicester they may also be able to complete the takeover very quickly.

And the only point I'm making is that the takeover at Liverpool wasn't as quick as people are suggesting, I've not made a comment about the competence or otherwise of the people at Leicester.

You're irrational, i'll think I'll start a debate with my 3 year old instead

What exactly is irrational about the point I'm making.

The Liverpool takeover dragged on for months. Fact. So is ours. It's not that difficult to understand is it?

We're like a whore whose after her last shag of the night. One punter enters negotiations and keeps changing his mind on the terms but with our pants down , another punter turns up and says the terms the whore wanted. Being in the position we are, the club opens its legs and takes the offer.
