[Owners launch bid to find buyer for Liverpool

Tony Evans and Helen Power

Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the Liverpool owners, have signalled that they are ready to sell their stake at Anfield after engaging Merrill Lynch, the investment bank, to find a buyer for the club.

The Americans need to restructure their ?350million loan with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), which expires on January 25. However, the bank, at present under public ownership because of the credit crunch, has adopted a policy of restructuring loans only in extremely favourable conditions. While discussions with Gillett and Hicks have not yet opened, their circumstances are not believed to fall into this category. The owners have always denied that the club were available for sale but the latest move signals an acceptance that the American duo's future control is unsustainable.

Although the Liverpool owners denied yesterday that Merrill Lynch has been engaged, The Times understands that auditors looked at Liverpool's books last week with a view to finding a buyer. So far, the search appears to be unsuccessful.

Sheikh Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has maintained a longstanding interest in acquiring Liverpool but has balked at the price tag set by the American pair, which is upwards of ?550 million.

Liverpool are a special club, says Garcia

The owners admitted last month that plans for a new stadium in Stanley Park have been put on hold indefinitely. RBS is bracing itself for a campaign of protest by the Spirit of Shankly, a Liverpool supporters' union.

An offer from Dubai of ?500million has been on the table for many months, but there has been minimal contact between the Sheikh's representative, Amanda Staveley, and the American camp over the past few months.

Rumours of interest from Robert Kraft have swirled around Anfield in the past few weeks but it is not believed that the owner of the New England Patriots American football team is a viable bidder for Liverpool.

You know, I keep having to pinch myself with the way Hull are playing at the minute!! Missed the match today as was working, but they pulled out another strong result despite a shaky start... 3-0 up, and now joint top of the table, although Chelsea and Liverpool play tomorrow so it's not for long - but we'll still be 3rd in the table, regardless of what happens!

Wednesday and Saturday will really test them though - Chelsea (at the KC) and then over to Old Trafford - I don't think we'll get a similar result like we did against Arsenal, but I know they'll play their hearts out and do the best they can. Of course, a win or draw would be brilliant, but realistically? Nah. Can't see them collecting more than 2 points out of the next two games!!

I see Spurs have got Watford tomorrow - I hope their luck turns around and they start getting some point, not looking good for them at the min...

Watford played Wolves today. Spurs vs Bolton tomorrow. Although, to be fair, we may well be playing both of those clubs in the future if our luck doesn't change!

Well done to Hull, another good, solid performance from a very hard working, very well managed side.

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked coach Jaunde Ramos, along with sporting director Damien Comolli.

Spurs have also parted company with first team coaches Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez, following the team's long string of poor results.

The club confirmed the clear-out in a statement on their website.

Backroom staff-members Clive Allen and Alex Inglethorpe will step in to take charge of Sunday's Premier League match against Bolton.

Spurs are bottom of the Premier League after taking just two points from their opening eight matches this season.

We knew it was coming!

I guess you could say he had it coming after the long string of bad results, but I thought they would have been a bit more patient with him. Especially considering that almost everyone had come out in support for him. Usually if the coach is poor, other managers stay quiet on the issue.

Oh well... the best joke I heard about it so far... The Spurs board need to be patient, it's quite clear Ramos had a big injury hit list, if only they had waited for Darren Anderton to come back from his latest injury! :laugh:

As for Harry Redknapp, that would be a brilliant signing for Spurs, but I think he has a good thing going at Portsmouth and leaving would be a bad move for him especially when it is going so well.

Harry will be the new manager, he was on SSN speaking and he confirmed it

I am quite shocked then, he turned down Newcastle because he was Pompey 100% and now Spurs come calling he is not so determined.

Damn, you lot are quick beat me to it!

Thanks for the CC JR and GP, but couldn't cut it in the prem.

Redknapp is an excellent man manager and talks a hell of a lot of sense. Just summed up all our on-field problems in 3 sentences on SSN just now. Well happy! :D

wouldn't suprise me if Tony Adams got the promotion. I think he would do well.

Wouldn't he come with Redknapp? he has done well with him the only factor I see there is he is ex Arsenal and you know Spurs don't like Arsenal :p

The Tottenham board have agreed to pay substantial compensation to the South Coast club, which is known to be struggling for cash and whose owner, Sacha Gaydamak, is prepared to sell up for as little as ?20million. Former Arsenal and England star Tony Adams, Redknapp's assistant, is now set to replace him as manager and will certainly be in control for the home game against Fulham this afternoon.
Video of Redknapp saying he's going incase anyone wants to hear it.

Cheers for that.

Best thing about it is we FINALLY get rid of Comolli and the DoF system. Bout time Daniel.

Would love to hear Levy trying to explain what the hell he and the club have been thinking over the last year with the whole Jol/Ramos/Comoli/DoF saga :laugh:

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
