Broughton has been charged with finding the most sustainable form of ownership - not the largest bidder - that is CLEAR !

So I trust in the work that has been done between the board and the RBS.. quite frankly they (RBS) have done all they can to forgo monies (debt) that was acruing, to help Liverpool .. it is a disgrace the Hicks has dragged the whole scenaio, given the financial predicament the club has been plunged in to already - Gillette out of the equation because of defaulting and Hicks no-where near repaying the loan - DISGRACE

Bring on NESV - I believe RBS and Broughton have done us proud... GET IN THERE !

It won't matter if Lim puts in a £100m extra in cash - the deciding factor is the knowledge to run a successful sports concern. NESV's experience far outweights that sort of a figure in terms of long-term potential for Liverpool.

On a personal note, no thanks to an individual that owns Man U themed bars and doesn't understand the concept of rivalry between the clubs. Has he stated that he will sell all of those concerns to preserve the tradition of LFC?

Given the last offers standing, MB and co have done right by the club.

I have no clue what will happen and can only hope for a brighter future with whoever comes onboard, hopefully far far brighter than the last 3 years

I agree with you again here Zara. Broughton and Purslow have taken huge amounts of stick on here, but I actually think they've done an excellent job.

Have to wait and see his actions match words - seem to many words from players , owners and manager not backed up with action . If NEVS can back up their words with actions then they can be good for us . Not going to jump for joy just yet .

I think lim is a plant by the vermin

Im thinking its a toss between "The krankies" and the "chuckle brothers" who have to find 300m to buy the club, to pay off RBS lol

maybe then the wizard from coo coo land can pay off the debt, and the magic fairy over the rainbow can find 300m for a new stadium in an economic meltdown.

and then we can wait for the wicked witch of West Derby, to come in and scare the new owners off in a witchhunt because the 100k players on the pitch can't find thier feet and play like they are paid to (regardless what happens in the boardroom ((which is none of their business either!!))the owners dont always have bottomless pockets.

Ian Rush said, they players should just do the business on the pitch, of what is happening off the pitch. it has nothing to do with them.

Is it a good idea for the future owner(John Henry) of Liverpool to have competing sporting franchises for the available investment funds.

Why has John suddenly developed a hard on for Liverpool? what are his motivations apart from making more money? running a top flight european club is very expensive business not like baseball.

Let's not pretend ... both are not good enough ... but it's better than nothing ...

For a lot of reasons NESV appear to be the better owners - experience running other teams, track record, etc. However, I think one of the important things in owning a team has to be passion, either for the team or the sport. I can't see that they have either. So why are they doing this? Because they think they'll get a profit at the end of the day. That isn't necessarily a bad thing (H&G's mgmt style hasn't made them rich, and I don't think you get profit from sports without investment and a longterm focus, and I'm sure NESV know that), but as a fan, I'd prefer the owners of MY club to care about the club more than the balance sheet.

I don't know anything about Lim, but I have a sense that someone like him or the Kenny Huang's of the world have more than a passing interest in the game and the club. Given Liverpool's profile in Asia I'm very comfortable with the idea of an Asian owner. More so than with an American one.

Still, I'm sure Broughton and co have been working very hard to get this one exactly right - I've never bought into the idea that because he is a Chelsea fan his professionalism would go out the window. No doubt it has been a difficult choice, and I'm in no position to second guess them.

can the posters who clicked on Peter Lim please justify their decision?

i remember some posters here bitterly complaining about how Broughton is a Chelsea fan so does the fact that he has a love affair with our rival not bother you?

Think Lim is just using us as a stepping stone into the league rather than actually having any ambition about the club.

Hi guys,

Here's an article on Yahoo with more details about Peter Lim.
http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010....verpool

I'm not comfortable with the thought of an Manyoo fan taking over. But if that doesn't equate to us having another owner who has to kowtow to a wobbly financial institution for a loan, I'd welcome him with what some would call "cautious optimism".

I'm from Singapore. My colleague, who is a Liverpool fan from Portsmouth, is praying that we don't follow the path of his hometown club.
