This isn't going well at all, confidence is just continuing to sink at Anfield at this moment in time. Whilst I obviously find the thought of relegation absolutely awful as a supporter if anyone thinks liverpool going down is impossible, look at what happened to leeds united. A turnaround is needed, and it is needed very soon otherwise confidence will continue to sink so low that it will make recovering potential form hard. I guess all of the nay sayers who criticised Rafa will be chewing on their words though.

You guys (well, UK guys anyway) seen this?

Could be interesting if she wins.

I hope she does. The prices that Sky charge for its sport channels are extortionate, and the fact that our competition commissions overlook it is disappointing to say the least.

I agree that it would be good(for the customers) if she wins, even though I don't really watch footy. But the amount of money pumped into football has spoilt it in my opinion. You only have to look at the amount of clubs that have big debts to see that something isn't right. I know it would never happen,(because it would have to be on a world wide basis), but footy should look at the Rugby League salary cap - clubs can only spend £1.65 million on the top 25 players in their squad. Although obviously in footy, the amount would have to be higher than that.

Agreed, overpriced and overpayed primadonnas. And the racketeering that the league does with TV companies to sell its TV rights is a scam as well, the competition commission should have looked into it ages ago. Only having one company offering live matches is at a severe detriment to the consumer.

When I can't watch the game we can't win! It is as simple as that. :/ Poor game from what I heard...

He's lost it with his blithering ways and is very quickly becoming a laughing stock.

buddy, the team was junk before he got there and now he has the responsibility of doing a make over with next to no resrouces, give him a break and some time.

I disagree. In most areas competition is a good thing, but not for sports rights.

Now if I want to watch all televised premiership matches, I have to sign up for Sky Sports and ESPN.

All matches sold as one package, with a cap on charges would be a better solution for home consumers.

Pubs should be forced to buy from a UK company. They should also charge more, as there is much more interest here, and therefore more profit for pubs.

Two possible buyers for Liverpool. One from Asia, and the other is owner of the Boston Red Sox.

But the club's American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are understood to be opposing the sale of the Reds to either of the two parties.

Three independent members of the board - managing director Christian Purslow, chairman Martin Broughton and commercial director Ian Ayre - will favour a sale and are weighing up whether to accept one of the bids.

But it is thought Hicks and Gillett are against accepting as neither bid would see the duo walk away with a profit.

looks like it could be drawn out for a long time!

Yanks out! We have to keep the momentum going.

buddy, the team was junk before he got there and now he has the responsibility of doing a make over with next to no resrouces, give him a break and some time.

Worst start for 53 years mate, and this is with a team that finished second just over a year ago.

Our fall from grace is mainly due to the stained atmosphere around the club and the shipping out of players, and this is due to the Yanks. But, Roy Hodgson wouldn't be the man to take us forward even if we did have some decent owners who weren't intent on sucking us dry.

Sold!

Liverpool Football Club today announces that the Board has agreed the sale of the Club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV).

New England Sports Ventures currently owns a portfolio of companies including the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Network, Fenway Sports Group and Rousch Fenway Racing.

Martin Broughton, Liverpool FC Chairman, said:

"I am delighted that we have been able to successfully conclude the sale process which has been thorough and extensive. The Board decided to accept NESV's proposal on the basis that it best met the criteria we set out originally for a suitable new owner. NESV's philosophy is all about winning and they have fully demonstrated that at Red Sox.

"We've met them in Boston, London and Liverpool over several weeks and I am immensely impressed with what they have achieved and with their vision for Liverpool Football Club.

"By removing the burden of acquisition debt, this offer allows us to focus on investment in the team. I am only disappointed that the owners have tried everything to prevent the deal from happening and that we need to go through legal proceedings in order to complete the sale."

Note to editors:

The sale is conditional on Premier League approval, resolution of the dispute concerning Board membership and other matters.

... pending a massive legal battle :blink:

Anyone know anything about the Red Sox owner? From what I have heard he is good with money, but will charge 'maximum' ticket prices.

Even if he does I can't see it being possible for him to screw things up any more. I just hope this sale goes through, and the fact that hicks and gillett are doing their utmost to hang on just shows their distinct lack of class, they know the fans want them out.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
