Exactly asset stripping takes place when you are going take apart a business and amalgamate its constituent parts into other businesses.

The selling of players would not constitute such an act. True the selling of players could be used to finance the debt but nothing more. Hicks will not make money through asset stripping unless LFC ceases to exist, which is obviously not going to happen.

Hicks will make his money through the sale of the club. He would rather run the club to bankruptcy than accept a deal he does not significantly gain from. Even then the fat tw*t will make money!

you are missing the point whiskey - the players are the club's assets and they can be sold very easily without devaluing the club

I don't see how selling players like Nando, Stevie and Masch won't de-value the club. We would get about £100m for the three of them and if that isn't re-invested in players of the same calibre, then surely the clubs value will decrease? It would be like putting a 1.2ltr engine in a ferrari and expecting to still get £100k for it.

I know its a short term, easy solution for paying the loans but to me makes no sense long term for selling the club.

I'm of the understanding that when the new chairman and Purslow were bought in to oversee the selling of the club that only they would know all the details, now if this is the case where does anybody get their so called snippets of information from. In any business if any information was being leaked the individual responsible would be quickly discovered and would then no longer be privey to any news at all. So how is it that people seems to be getting so called exclusive news from the same people because it would have to be either the chairman or Purslow himself or both and i personally don't believe they would do this and that any so called sources are only speculating themselves, why would someone do this, this i don't know but i bet someone else does. So all i'm saying is don't believe anything until its on the official liverpool website, skysports tv or bbcsport that we have been bought and by who and who the next manager is.

no i said you could sell all the separate parts for more than the whole ie you can sell the big players for, say, £100m and not have the price drop by £100m and so you would be up money overall

the asking price for the club is high because of the stadium, fan base and history - not because of the players currently there
