Ed, great site, read it most days. Bit of a pity the amount of stick BK is gettin. Can see all of the points about investment and get why the fans are angry, but this wishing and hoping that any rumour bwt sum investor is true is way too OTT? How many foreign takeovers have actually worked? They always promise the investment and the money, but other than City (2nd takeover) and a few others think about it... Birmingham, relegation, owners assets seized. Newcastle, Ashley, nuff said. QPR, the Italians, charged ridiculous prices, hated by fans. The s**te and their Yanks, hated. Notts County fans, promised the world. Portsmouth, administration. Derby, Yanks, still in the Championship. Blackburn, chicken, Steve Kean, hated by the fans. Villa, Lerner, Zero Progress, all best players sold. Man City, 1st Time, Shinawatra, assets seized, City got lucky. Man Utd, Glaziers hated by the fans. Arsenal, Kroenke, who is he? Uzmanov wants control, Spend nothing.... We moan, but BK must sell to the right person. Until then, id rather have our chairman who worships this club and its fans, and some great young players like Coleman, Barklay, Rodwell, Fellaini, Guaye, Velios Drenthe... than sell to some foreign guy we know nothing about, to ruin the tradition of our club and see us like all the other teams above. it could be worse.

Jay F {Ed025's Note - you have really confused me now jay..that is a great post mate, and it does make you think twice...that is why the blue union want an independant board to oversee any takeover..

Great post mate, their seems to be quite a bit of support for bill, if moyes gets some of the arteta money in January then things will quieten down i feel. {Ed025's Note - that money has well gone my friend, when january comes, the same old arguments will surface..mark my words..

Excellent post Jay F - and who the heck are Blue Union anyway!? You could see where most of the fans loyalties lay last Saturday. The clappers outdid the booers.

The real problem is with the stitched up prem/champs league format. Until that's made fairer it's just a rigged league forever and a day with only 2 or 3 possible winners - and they've even added new rules to stop another Man City happening - so we'd still be snookered even with a new owner.

Disgruntled fans should channel their anger at the stitched up league format. {Ed025's Note - i agree with that...its a closed shop..

As I put in another post, if Bill was Billionaire would you want anyone else in charge? No we wouldn't so when he gets the investment, which I know he will we will be in the better position that all those other sell outs Jay mentioned who were obviously just after the money.
And Bill if you read this site like most devoted bluse do, keep your chin up we are behind you and the boys I BK WT

As a Liverpool supporter listening stories about a takeover and Kenwright out asap , all I can say is be careful what you wish for...we got bought by a pair of yanks ( cowboys) and put us in a right mess but we was lucky to get bailed out by more yanks( decent ones) ....amybe kenwright has concerns about the club and does not want to sell it to a quick buck crew.....

You have a good point, we need to make sure the club remains in good hands, i think with bill being an evertonian he will make the correct decision for the club. The vast majority of the supporters are still behind bill

You do have a good points of be careful what you wish for, but in all honesty the yanks gave rafa big big money and if someone where to do that with moyes we would probably have better signigs than lfc did with rafa, not moking or causing an arguement its just my opinion {Ed025's Note - and its a valid one my friend!..

Totally agree with last post. I can only think of two signings moyes made that were awful and never really had an impact and that was Krouldrup and Van Der Meyde. Maybe there is more but i can't think of many more and in 10 years thats brilliant. Rafa wasted a lot money !! and made some shocking signings for big money !
If moyes had money i honestly think the so called "big 4" would be very wary !
Even with 50 million i think moyes would make a side that could comfortably get in the top 4 ! Honestly i do {Ed025's Note - it would be nice to see him with big money, imagine us attracting world class players, and usurping that lot across the park..

Agreed ! We dont need a billianaire just someone who can give us say 20 -30 million every summer moyes would challenge the title never mind top4, look at the squad he has assembled with no money !!
I think other teams would be really scared if moyes got investment !

I think billy should get a chance. He needs to get a run of games. I'd rather see him up front or right behind Cahill/Vellios or whoever we start up top. Not out on the wing. That isn't his place.
His confidence is low. That is clear for all to see. But if he could get a run of games in or near the middle or top of the park, I think he could do well. I doubt we'll get to see that but I'd like to. {Ed025's Note - he needs to come on as sub, and make a bit of an impact, he has not done enough to start, and needs to bring something to the party...i think he has talent, but he needs to start showing it..

I am suprised that moyes didn't sell billy in the summer as he could have been sacrificed to raise funds, i would have thought there would have been interest from russia {Ed025's Note - i think david was reluctant to sell any of his squad because he was told there was no money for any new faces, and although some blues fans dont rate him...i think moyes does!..

Moyes rates anichebe as well ed!! {Ed025's Note - i know mate!...he also likes playing 4-5-1...maybe we should get rid of him?....only kidding..
