KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa moved on, Kenny turned down - Khalifa next?

afternoon stepye.

interesting post. i agree with some parts, im not a vigilante, it would take a lot to push me that far, (if i had to protect my daughter, that kind of thing), and that kind of thing has no place in football. sorry chaps, but it really is only a game.. at least from a spectators point of view.
with that said, i dont quite agree with rolling over and not having a vested interest in the business side of thing. im not just here to buy kits etc. im a free thinking individual and would be willing to protest if i felt it in the best interest of the club. i think fan power can sway business decisions (if the current owners are stuffing up and the fans sound it out, it harms the owners reputation and could potentially persuade them to "do the right thing").
i dont trust boughton. maybe im an idiot, but i dont think this guy has the clubs interest at heart. only his own. and by his own i dont mean chelseas. i mean his own. but if it came down to it, and he could either simply stabilise liverpool or launch them into the financial stratosphere, he is going to think twice isnt he before he decides. he'll want to do a good job, but he may not want to put lfc out in front too far.

You got a point there about Broughton Flames. I wonder how he would feel bing the man that helped sell us to one of the worlds richest men, richer than the owner of the team he supports and one of our rivals? Must be a bit of a conflict there no matter how professional he is?

yea it might only contribute 5% of his decision making, but its there. even if its only 1%, its there.

I agree with what stepye has said.

No offense Dunc, and I hope im wrong and you are right about the takeover, but something this big would have surely been leaked into the press by now? If it was true, then how comes w&nkstain papers like the Sun aint all over this already?

It is strange that there is nothing in the papers but as Dunk said in one of his vids, when something is in the papers we all say its the journo's talking cr@p and now as its not in the press, Dunk must be talking cr@p. I personally believe his info. He has only said about a bid coming in. Its now up to those 2 idiots to accept it or not which is why i'm not going to get too carried away yet.

Nothing was in the press when Man City was taken over until the day/day before it happened

What can the press actually do? Report that someone is trying to buy Liverpool? Is that big enough news to push the World Cup off the back pages? I don't think so.

to me i dont give a donkey [oops] about the press...

all i want is the club sold to an owner, who has the finances to build a stadium, buy players and a board capable of increasing the clubs profile in the international market...

im not saying dunc is talking crap I just would have thought it would have been in the papers. And when DIC and the Chinese were interested in buying that certainly made the papers!

On the other hand southern is that if this is a serious bid then maybe its being kept out of the glare of the media on purpose?!

Just think if other interested parties get a whiff of whats going on maybe it increases the chance of an auction type of nonsense going on which suit the Yanks to the ground.

Also I read somewhere before that the news of the City takeover didnt break until it was more or less complete.

I wouldn't be so sure....Crystal Palace fans barracked Lloyds recently, making a hell of a racket. I'm not saying it definitely made any difference to their situation, but Lloyds did acknowledge the fact that they were there, so who knows how much affect it had on them escaping administration.
