So I'm back, and this time in English only. The Murphys Liverpool-blog has been around since february 2007.
The last few months I've had a break. It's been busy for me, moving and getting married! But now I'll be back bringing you the best headlines from around the web about Liverpool FC!
I will continue to have emphasis on rumors and speculation about the purchase of players and the ownership situastion.
It's been an eventful period for the club since thel last time I blogged. It seems the days of Hicks & Gillett may be numbered - and what a relief! The prospective new owners - it seems to me - are a very much better solution than the texans.
John W. Henry, principal owner and Thomas C. Werner, chairman of New England Sports Ventures (NESV) are about to start a new reign for the Anfield outfit. And the news of them being given a personal tour of Arsenal's Emirates stadium in a bid to learn about the sustainable financial model, is a very positive thing!
The Arsenal model of running a Premier League club has shown, in a convincing way, that it is good for stabilizing the economy. And that is truly something Liverpool is in big need of.
Sport.co.uk writes: NESV, owners of MLB franchise Boston Red Sox, were shown around the Gunners new arena and state-of-the-art London Colney training ground three weeks ago by chief executive Ivan Gazidis as they weighed up their bid for Premier League rivals Liverpool.
There is only one stumbling block left before Liverpool has the new owners installed. The Premier League today gave the go-ahead for New England Sports Ventures to complete a takeover of the club.
Acording to The Guardian this means only the high court action by the current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett stands in the way of the £300m deal by the American company, owners of the Boston Red Sox, going through.
But - and there still is one but - Liverpool could still come under administration, with the Royal Bank of Scotland's deadline for the repayment of £237 million looming on October 15. But that is far more better than Tom Hicks hanging on to the ownership.
- It could happen, yes. This is all part of why it is important that we made the decision on Tuesday to accept one or the other of the two very acceptable bids. Heading for administration was a very likely outcome if we didn't, Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton told ESPN Soccernet.
But to me it seems Broughton has won the most important battles of them all - getting rid of Hicks & Gillett, one way or another.
Thank you mr. Broughton!
