KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Debt to force sale of players

Liverpool Football Club could be forced to sell Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano if a new investor is not found within the next 6 months.

It has been reported that the debt on the club could force the sale of the Liverpool trio because the "consequences will be dire".

Merrill Lynch are even said to have approached Birmingham's outgoing owner David Sullivan to see if he was interested in a Liverpool stake as George Gillett and Tom Hicks desperately try to find a minor investor.

Why the hell didnt they give steve morgan a bit of a stake in the club? If we had morgan, we would have had a home boy and someone who would be more rational on the board!

If they get sold we'll never win anything. The yanks must see that and must sell and quick!

bit late to get steve morgan unfortunately - but you can blame moores for that anyway - his greed ensured morgan could not afford to buy a chunk of liverpool

Dont know if Morgan was the answer either, he seemed to have his own ulterior motives as well by trying to undervalue the fans shares by trying to buy them for less than what they were worth.

the two [oops] wnt care if they have to sell players aslong as the pay there loans the prem leauge is a cash cow and they no that and want to milk it as long as they can we are [oops] the thiveing robbing [oops]

morgan wanted to buy the club cheaper so he could spend more on it!! hardly ulterior motives - if i was him i would want to pay as little as possible ...... if moores had cared for the club the way he always claims then he would have taken less to allow the buyer to invest more money into the club

I think you confuse care and love for the club with money, the real world works very different, money is the driving force before love and care. Businessman are never sentimental. If you a sentimental businessman you will put your feeling and care before the money, thet a sure way to end up broke. For example if someone feels sorry for staff, he retains the staff during bad econimic times, he runs the risk of loosing his business. The real businessman retrenches staff immediately to keep his head afloat.

As parry said at the time, "you only get to sell your family silver once" regarding the moores sale.

Banks retrench workers like dirt, becasue the shareholders need to make a profit on their investments.

Its a sad state of affairs. But the reality when you sit with big money is very different. Check how barry dumped us for money.

absolute rubbish - moores didn't need the money, he had plenty of it already but he is greedy ....... he doesn't give a rat's arse about the club, it was always about earning money for him!

he was offered millions by morgan - more than any of us will ever see in our life but he turned it down - why? because he is a greedy sh*t and wanted even more money! he didn't care who bought the club so long as he got paid ..... and don't tell me it was a business decision as he always claims to love the club

well you can belive what you want to:)

Im just telling you what i recall parry saying, just becasue you love the club doesnt mean you must sell it for a lower price than the guys offering more. Maybe this is how you conduct your affairs.

If i was moores, i would hang on for the most money for sure, i think 90% of the people would. Waiting for the most money is nothing to do with love:) its got to do with businessa nd financial acumen:)

I sell my car for the highest price possible, unless i have given my word to a lower bidder!

Its about earning money for everybody, if you want best players at your club, you got pay markey related salries or else they go elswhere. We lost malouda for money, we lost Vidic becasue of money, we lost Evra becasue of money. Very few people arent concernd about money, mother theresa is a example.

Michale jackson didnt need the money after the thriller album, he still made records for money, if he didnt want money he would sell his records for free. Its all about money, the world revolves around money, wars are created for money.

I wouldnt say moores was greedy because of money, and that he had enough. Nobody has enough, nobody is satisfied with money.

Why does Richard Branson open Virgin Mobile is South Africa, why does he open Virgin Active gyms here is South africa? he has enough, is he greedy?

And another point, just becasue a owner loves a club doesnt mean he is going to throw money at the club, yesterday Mark Hughes said, we wont be spending money like this every season! Its not business sense!
