yes, if by culture you mean "pies" and by vulture you mean "one who eats pies"

I thought of making a food-related joke about Andy Reid but decided it would be an affront to good taste. Shame on you.

Liverpool the subject of fresh Dubai bid
Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai, has reportedly sanctioned an increased offer of £500 million to buy Liverpool.

With the global banking crisis leaving Liverpool’s American owners unable to finance plans for a new stadium in Stanley Park, the club are in danger of treading water.

Cash flow is not a concern for Dubai International Capital, one of Sheikh Mohammed’s investment arms, who are now optimistic that this renewed bid will be accepted.

A report in this morning’s S*n claims the new offer would clear the club’s debt and see Hicks and Gillett both walk away with a profit of £75 million.

Manchester City’s takeover by the Abu Dhabi United group makes the situation of Liverpool’s ownership all the more critical.

With such financial muscle, City can now realistically expect to mount a serious challenge for one of four Champions League places.

Liverpool and Arsenal are most at risk, but the impact of failure to qualify for the Champions League would be much greater at Anfield, where matchday revenues are dwarfed by those raised at the larger and more corporate-friendly Emirates Stadium.

It is estimated Arsenal generate £50 million more than Liverpool every year simply through this means, making the need to leave Anfield all the more pressing.

When they bought the club in 2007, Hicks and Gillett promised work on the new stadium would begin almost immediately.

But with annual interest payments of £30 million and the current financial climate as it is, there are fears on Merseyside that the Texan pair are simply incapable of fulfilling their pledges


Could be bull but I hope it's not.

I heard this too from a different source.
Apparently Citeh's new owner is the son-in-law of this guy & only went for Manchester's premier club so as not to tread on the toes of Sheikh Mohammed.

"I just wanna knock Fergie off his fcking perch"

 

[Hector Grey]

we're not english, we are scouse:
The last of Carragher's 34 caps came when he missed a penalty as England went out of the 2006 World Cup against Portugal in a shootout.
Carragher wrote in 'Carra, My Autobiography', serialised in the Daily Mirror: "I would rather miss for England than LFC."
He added: "Whenever I returned home from disappointing England experiences one unshakeable, overriding thought pushed itself to the forefront of my mind - no matter how much the rest of the nation mourned.
" At least it wasn't Liverpool,' I'd repeat to myself, over and over.
"Losing felt like a disappointment rather than a calamity."

Looks like Sami's European glory nights might be finnished.

"Veteran defender Sami Hyypia has told Finnish media his disappointment at being excluded from Liverpool’s Champions League squad for the new season.


The big centre back, celebrating 10 years at the club this season, now finds himself behind Carragher, Agger and Skrtel and due to the quota of homegrown players having to be included in the European squad Hyypia isn’t in Rafa Benitez’s 25 man squad.

8 players in the 25 man squad must be “homegrown”, with 4 association trained and 4 domestic association trained. Liverpool’s registered players are Carragher, Gerrard, Keane, Pennant and youngsters Stephen Darby, Steven Irwin, Jay Spearing, Ryan Flynn and Martin Kelly."


Seems to be a bit bummed about it, even though it's mainly to do with new ruling (and the fact that he's 35.) Losing a good man for the occasion though - he played every minute of 57 consecutive European games for Liverpool from November 2001 to February 2006, and of course his crucial goals against Juventus and Arsenal.

 

[Hector Grey]

you have 9 players listed there, when they only need 8, ho hum. i wonder is that why pennant didn't move. it's a bit of a shit rule, for someone who's been at the club for 10 years.

Yes, sorry Flynn isn't included in the final 25. Since the Barry deal fell through, I think keeping Pennant was a necessity (unless he could have swapped him for Downing or something) Hairball wants to fight for his place too though, so good luck to him.
As for Hyypia, it all means that he is left behind all on his tod.

You'll never watch alone Sami.

 

[Hector Grey]

at least his gaff won't be robbed.

 

[Janer]

Any word on the Arsenal squad then?

 

[evil bandit]

at least his gaff won't be robbed.
