@ Ken. From what I have read on some forums it may be that they had to allow them the option. A particular poster who claims ‘to know’ reckons that they will have until the end of this period to give the money back, i.e. sell but it could well be another spurious claim.

The second point – I’m no expert but unless one texan does a favour to another I’m not sure that the benefit would have a direct link, rather if economic stability beings to emerge this would have a benefiting effect for Hicks.

I was horrified to read the item in the News of the World, that RBS have granted out “owners” an extension of 6 months however, it did stated that they had triggered an option so the RBS may not want to grant the option but have to.

2nd item in the NOTW, the terrible possibility that some of Hicks bad debts could be paid off by the USA Bail Out of their economy. That Hicks could benefit from such a scheme is monsterous to consider.
If it didn’t mean that the US ecomony would go into a long term tail spin, I would leave Wall Street to sort out the results of their own greed.

We hoped that these men will grow some honour or conscience and leave but, alas if they didn’t have any in the first place why should we expect any now. Meanwhile LFC struggles on. My congratulations for the Manager and his staff, they are still doing a fine job in difficult cercumstances.

I havent seen such a one sided derby like this for a long time! Great control of the game and to dominate them like that at Goodison was very satisfying. Man Utd now Everton, what a start! Lets hope we keep it up

Jim – I hope so…….

so many issues to hear your views on

1) The ‘custodians’ status re. our club – how much of their own money have they invested? Do they want out?
2) The new Stadium – when/if?
3) Rafa’s new contract – when/if?
4) The dynamics of changing relationships in our club – Parry/Gillett v Hicks/Ayres??
5) Main issues from Carra’s book
6) Keane – how’s he settling in
7) The formation – fluid/static – 4-5-1/4-3-3/4-4-2
Chances of winning the league
9) Alonso – will he stay or will he go?
10) – Owen/Henry – should they come or not?
11) Our style of play
12) The youngsters – good enough for the first team?
etc, etc…

So many random thoughts…….and essentially just thinking aloud – but I’m hoping your tap-tap-tap fingers will create a coherent line on all these issues and many more when your service returns back to normal!

MR – A mixture of reasons for the reduced posting, hopefully it’ll be all back to normal again soon!

Good result and we needed it after last week and with everyone in and around us winning too.

Keane didn’t score but created the winners.

Now Torres is scoring again that only leaves Keane to get his first and Gerrard to get his 100.

@ Jim – you seem to be posting once a week at best. Why???
