I have to say I agree. I seem
to recall how great that they thought the original deal was for the club, and how this was going to result in a super new stadium.

I'm sorry but Liverpool fans are scum, people seem to forget the deaths they have caused over the years. And to cap it all they rob their players whilst on European Tour
Scum

Liverpool duo complete £350m deal Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have completed the £350m refinancing deal to secure their Anfield future, BBC Sport understands. The financial package is expected to help the duo repay money borrowed for their £218.9m takeover in March 2007. It also means that the club can finally launch their long-awaited plan for a new stadium at Stanley Park. BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said £60m of the package will provide the start-up money for the new ground. The deal, which is expected to be announced on Friday, underlines the pair's determination to remain at Anfield despite interest from Dubai International Capital (DIC), the investment arm of the Dubai government. Hicks will also feel he will be in a stronger position should he decide to sell in the future, dealing a blow to DIC's hopes of mounting a swift bid to take control of the club. The American pair were the target of crowd demonstrations from Liverpool supporters unhappy with their regime during Monday's televised game against Aston Villa, with banners calling for DIC to mount a bid. Some fans were angry after the duo admitted they had sounded out Jurgen Klinsmann as a possible replacement for manager Rafael Benitez, with whom they had a high-profile falling-out. A survey carried out by the Liverpool Supporters' network showed that 76% of 2,000 fans questioned said they would "seriously consider reducing their financial commitment to the club" if the current owners stayed in charge. When asked to choose between the owners and the manager as to who had the best interest of the club at heart, 99% backed Benitez. "The results of this survey are indicative of the strength of feeling among Liverpool fans that the club is very much in the wrong hands at present," said LSN spokesman Neil Atkinson. "Tom Hicks and George Gillet are not trusted." ------------------------------------- interesting how Scouser fans would rather have their club controled by the Dubai government rather than a couple of rich American tycoons - what the hell is this world coming to

Liverpool supporters are to launch an ambitious plan to buy the football club from its current American owners.
US tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks recently finalised a £350m refinancing of the club which they bought in 2007.
But the Share Liverpool FC Group is to reveal plans for a buy-out of the club by 100,000 Reds fans around the world.
The model proposed will be a Barcelona style, "member-share" scheme, aimed at raising £500m to purchase the club from its US owners and build a new stadium.
--------------------------------------------------
I like it, a nice tidy profit of £150m - that's what George & Tom should hold out for. ;D
