Being reported that Liverpool have failed to meet the deadline by which they had to show they have access to the £400m for the new stadium to go ahead.

Great, I have a tune ready on the smallest mp3 player in the world, it's called "My heart pumps purple pi** for you (Liverpool)"

"...Villa will receive a 17.5million fee plus right back Steve Finnan in exchange for a midfielder who will fulfil his wish to play in the Champions League this season after all...To find the money, Liverpool needed to provide the bank with a guarantee that funds to cover the move will be raised during the remainder of the close season..."

From Sportsmail.

Not often you hear of a club needing to provide a bank with a credit note.

Any wonder that Randy Lerner (a very successful banking entrepreneur) simply told MoN to cancel the deal?

Apparently Barry is staying now according to MON. This has legs yet!

Lpool's billy big time efforts to sign Barry, and Barry's own disparaging comments about MoN and Villa might just have tweaked a lions tail. Maybe the chance for revenge and to humiliate Benitez, Lpool, Hicks, Gillete, Gareth Barry and all was the reason for Lerner instructing MoN to 'give way' on the Barry issue last week just after Lpool had signed Keane. No doubt Lerner knew that Lpool could not finance BOTH Barry and Keane and just wanted to embarrass the club and create a stand off with Benitez and his bosses.

Was reading something that shows they've spent more over the past 3 years than United.

Heck, Mascareno and Torres were about 40-50 million combined (I think Masch was 19 and Torres 24, but not positive).

[philipl]

Martin Samuels savages Liverpool's Hicks and Gillett and new owners of EPL clubs in general. Potless millionaires.

[Rover4ever]

Dont really get that clown Benitez, he gets a striker who is excellent around the box, and plans to use him like he (mis)used Kuyt, and spoil him similarly. Keane is not a right winger !!

What about it?

[Billy Castell]

Liverpoo fans like my brother-in-law have had one thing to smile about recently-at least they didn't get bought by Thakisin Sinawatra.

To me the sequence of events is the same as when Benitez left Valencia

Whinging about money, whinging about transfers, the sooner he is gone the better for the PL

It shows how weak the ownership is that they haven't simply fired him already.

[Billy Castell]

Rafa is talking himself out of a job, although I can't think of who'd replace him (Hughes?). Could Valencia's financial problems be down to Rafa's reign there?

[philipl]

Well Liverpool got unbelievably lucky against Standard Liege but its not saved their new stadium.

New pressure to sell to Makhtoum and DIC.
