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.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
