check_bin_krap Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Whats the scousers done to be this popular? Everyone from governments to Hollywood wants to buy L'pool! Taken from soccernet.com: Benitez needs cash, insists mogul Prospective Liverpool investor Mike Jefferies has promised to back manager Rafael Benitez in the January transfer window should he succeed in buying into the club. The Hollywood-based Merseysider believes Liverpool's squad needs strengthening to become competitive with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, and he would back a winter spending spree. Jefferies hailed Benitez as 'one of the best managers in the world', but insisted that the current crop of Anfield players pale when put up against the strength of the Premiership elite. Of Benitez, Jefferies told the Daily Mirror: 'He needs some quivers on his back to get this club back where it belongs. In Los Angeles you see Manchester United shirts but no-one has heard of Liverpool. Whoever is responsible for that wants shooting.' He insists there should be no doubting his motivation, nor that of any members of his consortium, for wanting to take up a prominent position at the club. Businessman and life-long fan Steve Morgan has so far failed in his efforts to buy a controlling stake in the club, despite making a £70million offer to do so - which remains on the table. He looked to be on the brink of a takeover in August after discussions with chairman and owner David Moores. But a row over distribution of that offer between shareholders and the club's coffers - caused by claims that the new stadium price had soared - scuppered the deal. Where Morgan has so far failed, Jefferies is eager to succeed and there is talk of a £100million investment. Jefferies added: 'These are early days but we have had conversations with Liverpool and we would like to help the club become the most successful in the world once more.' ........................................................................ My guess is that this is just PR for a forthcoming movie, the same person is releasing a movie soon. They have been at ST James park, its about a South American playing and making it in England.

Belem Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 With Liverpool loading up on Spanish players, they are fast becoming Spain's team. Conversely, Real Madrid is becoming England's team...LOL. Liverpool needs to regain stability if they are to remain a top EPL team. Otherwise, they will go the way of Everton. And that's sad, as Liverpool has a rich history and a proud tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
check_bin_krap Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks as the only one who has bothered to reply to this thread Belem, do I smell or what? But the Toffees are doing well? 3rd place now? Time will tell about L'pool. If they have the right guy as manager now, I do not doubt that they can establish themself as a 3rd - 4th team. After other teams experience changes in management or other stuff, maybe better. Its a long, long climb. Cheers! (another BS reply, its just that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
