- H&G say "Okayyyyy let's do this! Moneymoneymoney we live to offload LFC for one billion dollars another day!!"
- New deadline looms, a majority of the board sells the team. Nothing fishy at all.
I also have to mention that if I remember correctly, there were several meetings with NESV, and H&G simply chose not to show up. There was nothing done in secret. They simply chose not to be part of the negotiation process. Hell if they did, maybe they squeeze another 20-30 million quid out of them. I hope some day they accept that they completely made this mess themselves. Wonder if Hicks has time to go to the saddledome next Wednesday for the Stars game? If I hear he's there, I'm buying a ticket.

The thing that I love. And I wish I had a T-Shirt with this slogan:
"Blow me f#$#face."
A lot of people dont understand the significance of those three magic words.
The Liverpool Board at the time was, as I recall, Tom Hicks, Tom Hicks Jr., George Gillette, Rick Parry and Martin Broughton. So, still 3-2 for Cancer.
As soon as Hicks Jr. sent that email he was forced to resign, an independant was brought in and then it was 3-2 for the good!
So, those two can blow me.
In my opinion, if those two had shown up at the negotiations Henry and NESV would have given them less money. During the sale John Henry made it very clear the disdain he felt for Hicks and Gillette. I loved it.
