Liverpool put up for sale by American owners

How much do you think they will get for it?

Enough to cover the debt, if they are lucky!

It makes depressing reading. £237M in debt and no stadium!

Its going to get worse for them as they don't make it into the CL this year. :thumbup:

Yup, not exactly the best time to try and make a good price on them is it...seems strange timing considering how long they have held out.

Perhaps they see a Leeds like fall from grace on the horizon:unsure:

Unfortunately I doubt it. But they do seem to be trying to cut their losses. Americans owning football teams is just wrong.

Yup. Money has changed everything.

Out of the CL might help the balance book in the short term...they wont attract any decent (expensive) new players, and some of the more expensive assets might get itchy feet and be cashed in on:( i wonder how many have champions league related escape clauses in this day and age.

They seem to be in a Newcastle/Mike Ashley situation now. After damaging the club will they be able to get the amount of money back they will want - seems unlikely.

Harry is a god - albeit a minor god in the pantheon of football gods, but today he is a god: and Bale is his cup bearer!

An amazing week in the history of Tottenham Hotspur Football club.

From FA Cup dissapointment to defeating our two biggest rivals consecutively.

As a Tottenham fan I have never felt so high. When I look back over the Chelsea game 2-1 really flattered them.

It is very exciting times at White Hart Lane. When we get Lennon back in on the right and have Bale on the left we'll be a formidable side.

It is now up to Tottenham to go and get 4th spot and it is well and truly in their hands.

Think I must have jinxed em, only tuned in from when it was nil two. When will Wenger see they need a proper keeper?

Villa down already...

Our defending was rubbish, though with the only two fit central defenders playing today, we had very few defensive choices. Well-played, Wigan.

I've been observing you Hook. You are too much of a nice guy with an objective view point to be an Arsenal fan. Show us your true colours who do you really support?

:p

I am an Arsenal fan, but I'm not one of those rabid fans that believe we have a divine right to win anything. I believe that if the opposing team plays well they deserve to be told so. I treat other team's fans with respect because that's they way I'd like them to treat us even though some don't. It's the way I was brought up.

As a Gooner, I may hate Tottenham, Chelski and ManUre football teams, but that doesn't mean I can't be friends with fans of those teams. Just don't expect me to be nice when we play them. :p
