No real further moves, but in summary:
What we do know:
1) The L4 group in a public statement on the afternoon of the AGM stated their stockbrokers were in talks with Liverpool's financial advisers (Hawkpoint)
17:30 - The L 4 Group - “ Statement re possible offer”
The L 4 Group
02 December 2004
The L4 Group
Statement re possible offer
The L4 Group ('L4'), a consortium being formed by Mike Jefferies and Stuart Ford with additional backing from other parties, notes the recent press speculation concerning it and Liverpool Football Club ('Liverpool FC'). L4 confirms that it has, through its adviser Seymour Pierce Limited, approached Hawkpoint, the financial adviser to Liverpool FC, concerning a possibleinvestment in or offer for Liverpool FC.
These discussions are at an early stage and may or may not lead to an offer being made for Liverpool FC.
2) As a result of this a note appeared on the TakeOver Panel's website which reports anything like this.
3) LFC as part of its statutory requirement sent a letter to all shareholders informing them of the split of shares and confirmed that a number of investment proposals were still being looked at.
4) Rick Parry talked in the wake of the AGM of a recent, exciting investment offer that has come on. He also confirmed that talks with Steve Morgan have continued.
5) Steve Morgan withdrew his latest offer just before Christmas complaining about the delay in discussing it with him. His lawyer said that was the final straw for Morgan, but Morgan contradicted this later saying he'd still be prepared to talk.
6) L4 has made no further public statements though speculation was rife that their backers were the Kraft family from Boston in the States and Kenny Dlaglish made be involved in some capacity. L4 has not confirmed either of these possibilities.
7) The Thai deals are non-starters and should now be ignored.
There's your summary.
JUSTICE FOR THE 96
