Football Focus

That story seems to go agaist what the BBC are saying.

Huang, who is the head of Hong Kong-based investment company QSL Sports Ltd, is thought to value the club at around ?325m.

A statement issued from his Hong Kong representatives said: "Mr Huang would like to emphasise that he has registered interest in investing in Liverpool FC but has made no formal bid."

I don't really care who the new owners are, as long as it's run well, and the debt is sorted.

You'll never wok alone.....wok on, wok on.......

Groan...

Personally I'd like to see what Roy can do with the current squad this season (plus a new striker and left back).. before we recruit half the Barca team ;-)

My own preference has always been to build upon the existing stadium, one stand at a time, even if it means eventually it is in effect a brand new stadium with all the corporate trimmings it would still be upon the holy ground that is Anfield with it's unparalleled history and prestige.

Pheeeewwwwwww!

Nice one Ratty. Yet again, I am made up for you!

Really? You don't care? Is this because football is more important than Human Rights/ Humans/fluffy dogs?

No, it's because it would make absolutely o fecking difference either way.

['bout now]

fair point.

[matthew123]

A few prospective owners have been linked with the Club but the one that worries me is the Syrian / Canadian bid which reeks of having Hicks and Gillett as silent partners.

I remember when the Thai Prime Minister Thaksin was linked with a takeover at Liverpool and the Human Rights angle was thrown into the mix yet when it was little old Citeh the same fair weather knockers couldn't be bothered. So whoever comes in for Liverpool will always get beaten with a stick.

Spurs have drawn Young Boys of Berne in the play-off to reach CL - I think Spurs will be very happy with that fixture rather than some of the more daunting tasks they may have faced. Be good for English football if Spurs can actually reach CL stages as if only to introduce a bit of excitement at the group stages where they are likely to be in a stiff group what with their poor seeding.

Er, Man City were slated all over the place for Thaskin Matthew....has the scouse victimhood thing started to effect a welshman like you now?

[matthew123]

Well maybe my observations of Citeh weren't that acute back then so I stand corrected in that case

Liverpool have drawn Trabonspor on the Turkish Black Sea coast... pricey and very long trip for those who want to travel although it would be some adventure!

Young Boys Of Berne. Isn't it. Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

[ruffers]

And you managed not to mention the new Wankdorf stadium Jah, excellent.

1 more week!!

[????]

Well for many it started this weekend....see the scum were lucky

[Annasfield]

Technically for us it started in Macedonia 2 anda half weeks ago. Just really looking forward to getting back to Anfield for a weekend game and seeing everyone again.

[kpc]

Or going back to St Andrews in my case. Missing the season opener at Sunderland - been a while since I missed the first game - but looking forward to a season where nobody has tipped us to go down. Except for a delusional Wigan fan in the Observer.

[????]

Blackpool, Spuds and Birmingham for me ;-)

[mockney piers]

Anyone coming along to the Fulham friendly at the hamlets on Tuesday?

Ooh, and Joe Cole looking rather good for Liverpool, good signing that one.

[SeanMacGabhann]

[mockney piers]

Cool, cousin Tom and my brother should be coming along too.
