Totally agree, I wasn't suggesting we'd welcome it. We are the one club that any investor would be looking at, though. |

Sevco would be ideal fodder for an asset stripping hedge fund or similar - wait till distressed pick up for a song divert as much cashflow as possible sell assets - we, for the moment, would cost too much to purchase and Dermot seems happy enough |

How much would it cost to buy the huns? How much would they make back by selling what 'assets' are left? Genuine question. |

How many shares are there? Multiply that by what the shares are worth shares x eff all per share = eff all Rounded up to nearest pound you will then own the holding co of the club which in turn owns the shares of the club Edited by Darth Balls, 2 May 2018, 08:19 PM.

The directors would want their sunk cash back plus maybe a wee tickle so £25 million should do it. They then need to provide working capital and clear off Close Brothers. Say another £10 million. And after all of that they still have Andy Halliday and Co.

Decent question. Short answer is I don't know. I'm just speculating and trying to figure out why Gerrard hasn't already knocked this rumour on its head as he did when he ruled out taking on an English Championship club. I think the answer could be that Liverpool see some value in developing players in the SPFL (not least, because they can now see at first hand that signing Virgil may have helped them to win the Champions League title again) and also because they have a strong negotiating hand to dictate their own terms to a beleaguered Sevco board. Liverpool don't need to form any formal link with the Zombies' board or have any other connection to their business. All they need to do is have an unwritten understanding with Gerrard that they'll cover his back and recommend signings to him. Players from big clubs who have ambitions to get into management constantly cut their teeth at diddy clubs in the hope or expectation that one day they'll take over at the club they support. When Tommy Burns joined Kilmarnock I think we all knew that he was taking the first step towards one day becoming the Celtic boss. Bertie Auld never hid the fact that his managerial ambition was to take charge of Celtic. I'm sure they all had plenty of encouragement and support from some people at the club to prove themselves up to the job. Apart from the boardroom mess, the Huns are hopeless on the football park as well. They need a entirely new team (apart from the goalkeeping position, probably.) Gerrard would have carte blanche to build from scratch. Imagine another Scottish club - say, Aberdeen or Hibs - had had a similar arrangement in the past few years with Manchester City and they were fielding players like Roberts and Denayer every week along with a few other loans and signings that City scouts had recommended. Imagine this club was being managed by a Guardiola protegé who was doing everything according to Pep's coaching manual. I reckon a team like that would put up a pretty good show in the SPFL. It would almost certainly be a better team than what Sevco have got at the moment. For Liverpool to do something like this would only involve a slightly better organised version of what clubs, including us, already do. God knows how many players we've signed over the years only to farm them out to other clubs for the duration of most of their contract. It would actually be more efficient to send them all to one club in, say, Ireland or the English Championship, under the management of somebody like Stevie Clarke and see how they get on, if only there was a way to do this without falling foul of the rules. The Huns are possibly in a position where they're ripe for someone to exploit them this way without making a formal agreement. If Liverpool's board believe, rightly or wrongly, that they can manage an arrangement like this on a nod and a wink, they might be prepared to give it a try. Or, alternatively, they might just keep doing whatever it is they do that makes their European record one of the very best in the business. They certainly seem to get a lot of things right over the years even though - or perhaps because - they've not been afraid to fail from time to time by trying something different. |

Seems to be. Loads of media and websites are salavating about Gerrard coming to rangers. No one seems to mention that he has only been a youth team coach for ONE season. |
