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...

___________________________

Wtf is wrong with De Jong? One of our most promising youngster and already a broken leg... De Jong deserves a year ban, at least! But no, the FA decided otherwise... GG guys. :x

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.

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.

    • Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was clearly pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse after the fact) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka now called the Technological Revolution, undoubtedly by that same butt-hurt Brit), which transitioned the world from the UK/UPS Empire to the USA as the world's only superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution I hope you realize that I am having big fun here.
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.
    • I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.
    • Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
