Radios are actually never silent unless they're turned off.
Just to get the heads spinning again, some ITK lads on TLW and RAWK are saying that the deal with Huang is done and will be announced at the end of the week.
We'll all just have to wait and see. The owners might get desperate as if they don't sell before the deadline then the 20 mill penalty kicks in.

5 bids on the table and none by Kirdi!

If true it probably proves the Americans red-herring theory,

It makes no sense to any investor to buy now all they need to do is bide there time and buy us when the deadline comes it would save them millions. I wouldln't think anything will happen till then. The quote from sahra group was intresting. When they said they weren't intrested "for now".

If there was only one potential buyer it wouldn't, if it is turning into a bit of an auction after all with five interested parties, anyone who really wants it won't risk bluffing it out until the final hour

Liverpool director Ian Ayre: ‘We remain global giants in spite of everything
’By Nick Harris
17 August 2010
Liverpool’s status as one of football’s enduring global powers remains undiminished despite the club’s recent travails, according to the club’s commercial director, Ian Ayre.
In an interview with the latest edition of FC Business magazine – the industry publication for football in the UK – Ayre is bullish about the club’s prospects, on and off the pitch.
Ayre says that Liverpool’s new £20m-a-year shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered bank, which is the most lucrative in English football history, demonstrates the strength of Liverpool’s attraction globally.
“If you take one deal that shows the progress we’ve made, it’s that deal,†Ayre tells FC Business. “It’s valuable in itself, but it says so much more about the set-up we now have.
“A global brand like Standard Chartered [with £13bn revenues in 2009] doesn’t enter a deal like we have without being convinced that we have what it takes to justify their outlay. They’ll get it back. We were able to demonstrate all the values and expertise and avenues we could go down with them, that the brand had power.â€
Ayre asserts that Liverpool have only one significant commercial rival in England – at least in global popularity – and that’s Manchester United.
“In my opinion there are only two truly global brands in the Premier League and that’s Liverpool and Manchester United,†he says, and points to a range of indicators from shirt sales to Facebook followers to the popularity of the club’s own TV channel to demonstrate the fact. Liverpool’s commercial revenues outstrip any rival in percentage terms of all income, at £60m (of £185m) in 2008-09, against Manchester United’s £70m of £278m, and Arsenal’s £48m of £224m.
It is also widely accepted by football finance experts that Liverpool are an attractive long-term proposition financially, with the vital waiver of funding provision being available for a new 60,000-plus seat stadium. It is remarkable that Liverpool have remained so relatively strong in recent times, financially, despite still being housed at Anfield. Match day revenues are some £60m lower at Liverpool each season than at Manchester United and Arsenal, immediately putting the Reds at a disadvantage to their major domestic rivals. A new stadium would go a significant way to addressing that balance. Having owners who don’t need to meet interest payments of tens of millions of pounds annually would also help.
The interview with Ayre was conducted shortly before the latest round of speculation began over potential bidders began a fortnight ago, and as such Ayre makes no comment in the piece on the bidding process or bidders. But he does make clear how important a new stadium is to the club’s future, saying: “Liverpool’s UK business going forward is hugely reliant on the development of the new stadium, but everyone knows that. I’m not speaking out of turn on that. Tom Hicks and George Gillett know that and acknowledge it. “Whatever [new owners] want to come in, the stadium has to be the key part of that.â€
Liverpool’s managing director, Christian Purslow, made it clear on Sunday in an interview with Sportsweek on Radio 5 that the club’s board will ensure whoever buys the club and replaces Tom Hicks and George Gillett will have demonstrated, beyond doubt,that they have a plan (and funding) to guarantee Liverpool move forward.
The process to sort “the wheat from the chaff†among interested parties remains ongoing.

Thank god, I thought we had another 'grassroots movement' there.
Incite The Kop
Impressed with that George. I spent 5 minutes trying to come up with something and the best I could come up with was Itinerant Trailblazers of Keegan.
Which I'm now starting up.

Idolising The Kenny
I'm working on our constitution and manifesto for change over the coming days. The Itinerant Trailblazers of Keegan are over-stimulated and can sit still no longer and watch our club's heritage being torn asunder while there's nothing good on the telly.
We want to return the club to the magical days of the late 70s and early 80s by requiring all members of the Board to have a perm. That's a start.

No chink of light in the gloom that's descended on this bidding process then?
Racist.
