pretty much so. yes.

there will a board meeting later this evening which is likely to confirm NESV as the new owners.

 

[Duke]

You think they're a better deal than G&H were (apart from the standard "couldnt get much worse" chip) ?

 

[Bobby Sands]

we'll see i guess. but H & G were crooks of the highest order.

Hicks especially is an awful man apparantly. i read that every sports team he has been involved in, he has been hated.

Henry and NESV have been very successful with the Red Sox. he seems like someone who will do things right.

 

[Pittsey]

No administration.

Dallas Stars(NHL) and Texas Rangers (MLB)

As for Corinthians:

In 1999, Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst entered into a partnership with Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, a successful Brazilian soccer club team. Club directors and Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst assured the fans that a new stadium was in development, but this never materialized.
Corinthians had won the Brazilian championship in 1998, so they inherited a winning team. There was an initial capital investment to tie down existing players and to finance the signing of Dida and Luizão. The initial expenditure assisted in retaining the league title in Dec 1999 and the club also won the inaugural FIFA Club World Championship the following month.
They began selling the club's star players and announced plans to change Corinthians' famous black-and-white kit. This led to a furious reaction from supporters. In 2003, after legal/financial troubles and partner infighting, Hicks retired from the company and the ownership group eventually left the partnership with Corinthians. There was no new stadium.[14]

NESV have announced the purchase of Liverpool.

Hickes threatens to sue for 1.6 billion despite the high court ruling against them twice.

 

[hizzle?]

By the way D., Gillett is actually a good person. He was the owner of the Montreal Canadians here, and he said a couple of times that he was having trouble dealing with Hicks..

 

[Bobby Sands]

yea it was recognised that he wasnt as bad. but not good either. very sneaky. making bullshit promises and making up lies. he was also the one that brought Hicks into the equation. fuck both of them. good riddance.

 

[Duke]

lol Man U, gave away a 2-0 lead.

I was watching Ars - Birmingham this afternoon. Not a spectacular match but ok. Wilshere straight red carded for a leg breaker on big Zigic. Horrible challenge. Zigic escaped, though barely.

Klasnic comes back from an injury, off the bench to score the winner at 90' for Bolton... then picks up 2 yellows and is sent off :thumb:

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^....

The owner of Chelsea Football Club Roman Abramovich
is considering whether to take legal action against the Irish
Government over its decision to make bondholders cover
Irish Nationwide’s losses.
The Russian Billionaire may take a lawsuit after it emerged
subordinated bondholders will have to pay part of the bill to
cover the building society’s huge property losses.
In a statement the Russian billionaire called on Irish authorities
to “re-consider they’re position and to come out with a detailed
plan as to what is going to happen”.
Roman Abramovich is Russia’s fourth richest man with an
estimated worth of almost 11.2 billion euro.

 

[Flipmo]

The jokes on Abramovich, them lads are already broke, HARHARHAR *Old Irish man voice*

 

[THEV1LL4N]

congrats to WBA who have been pulling off some great results lately. Id like to see them do well this year. So far, they're certainly looking like one of the teams who will finish in the top half... but we cant make that judgement after only 10 games.

0-0. frustrating draw with chelsea today, but i guess its good when you're playing a club who has a goal difference of +24 after only 7 games - which demolishes the goal difference of the next best team, and 5 clean sheets. we'll have to scrap for the win at stamford bridge later in the year.

^^....

Haha, i initially thought it was something to do with football and Chelsea. But ok, it's some financial stuff.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^another fine performance by Van Der Vaart today.
