All good stuff but let's hope it's not too late come January to pull us out the mire.

how much would it cost for the yanks to leave breaking even? did they spend any of their own money on top of the rbs loan?

They owe a boatload more unsecured stuff. It's well lulz if they end up bankrupt.

Re: Club Refinance Thread
Lol @ gene, as per.
Where H and G are concerned, it's a side issue (at most) for me whether they get any money out of this or not. In fact I'd go as far as to say I'd much rather they did, if that helps the right deal to go through.

Liverpool's board receives two new bids to buy club
By Dan Roan
BBC sports news correspondent
Liverpool's board met on Tuesday after it received two new bids to buy the club, BBC Sport understands.
It is thought one of the bids is from Asia, with the other from America.
A source close to the negotiations said: "Both would significantly reduce the debt and give the current owners their original investment back."
But the club's co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are understood to be opposing the sale of the Reds to either of the two parties.
Liverpool were put up for sale by American duo Hicks and Gillett in April with debts of £351.4m.
More to follow.

i think they injected £150m into the holding company, so along with roughly £300m of bank debt they'll need a bid of around £450m to break even. they might have got that a couple of years ago, and if buyers didn't know what a desperate situation they were in, but right now they've got no chance.

John Henry is the main owner there.
We could certainly do worse, he bought the Red Sox in 2002 and they made some risky but ultimately brilliant decisions (Theo Epstein being one of them) leading to two World Series titles in five/six years, bearing in mind they hadn\'t won for more than 80 years previously.

John Henry
Boston Red Sox
John W. Henry long ago earned his fortune -- and a reputation as one of the nation's premier players in the global futures markets. But in 2004, Henry may have achieved immortality by leading the Boston Red Sox to their first World Championship since 1918, reversing the most fabled curse in sports. This triumph was due to more than the inspired play of a team that rallied from 0-3 in the American League Championship Series to beat the New York Yankees.
Henry, 55, set the stage for victory by aggressively boosting revenues after he and his partners -- including TV producer Tom Werner and veteran baseball exec Larry Lucchino -- bought the Red Sox for a record $690 million in early 2002. They made the most of Fenway Park, the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball, by squeezing in more seats and then charging the highest prices for home games, all of which sold out. At the same time, they started broadcasting home games in high definition on their 80%-owned cable sports network, New England Sports Network -- helping it routinely win in regional prime-time ratings.
All of this turned the Sox into baseball's second-most-lucrative franchise and gave it the financial muscle to take on the Yankees, who opened the season with a record $184 million payroll. The Sox were second, at $127 million.
Henry -- a numbers genius, whose proprietary futures-trading system consistently produces double-digit returns -- closed the gap with sabermetrics. That's a system for mining baseball stats to find undervalued players while avoiding long contracts for aging stars -- such as pitcher Pedro Martinez -- whose performance is likely to decline. Henry built baseball's most effective team but won't settle for one championship. After ending an 86-year drought, he's aiming for a dynasty.

Re: Club Refinance Thread
I don't want a fucking rich dude with 800m.
I want a guy or a group with a minimum net worth of at least 5 billion quid.... of which 600m will be shoveled into the club.
The worst thing that can happen is we get bought by another group of paupers.
