I think a couple of the 'billionaire' backers of the consortium have business interests that are partly state owned.
Most supporters are going to be wary of any potential new owner, I just hope we've learnt from our previous mistake.

Uh... the Chinese are already in

This deal looks pretty good for you, if it works out.
Forgot about the Brum (I meant decent clubs anyhow
)It could make things very interesting if it does work out, fingers crossed.
Just the one????
I'm talking owners cockface
and yes the two of them came as one !!Interesting reading that Torres and Gerrard are the two most sold shirts in the world 8) We had 3 in the top 10.
If we get the Chines owners then that will probably continue (if it includes counterfeit shirts also) !!

I don't put much stock in that list. Owen? Walcott? Nani? in the global top 10? (looking at last couple of years)

With their reported finances I wouldn't be surprised.
To be honest though I'm not surprised they are the two biggest sellers up until this season they've been the only players of note on the Liverpool books you now have cole though so I'd expect him to be up there soon.
Whereas our team had terry lamps drogba essien both coles ballack deco malouda anelka etc for our supporters to choose from.
and as an aside, cockface doesn't show up on auto-editing????

Good point i think as morbyd said that walcott was in the top ten last year and that tells you everything you need to know.

Its obviously due to the far east market (and if the chinese chap takes over it will get even greater), esp with Carragher up there
..and yes cockface slips under the radar, as does quite a few, like Twatface and bellend !
(not that you are obviously!)

List must only compile of Prem players though.. can't see why Messi wouldnt be in the top ten otherwise

Looks like the buyout may have hit a snag...

We've been looking out of sorts this pre-season, haven't we?Oh and Celtic out of the Champions League already
The only positives I've seen are positive signs for the future with Bruma, Van Aanholdt, McEachran.
Hope we pull it together before we face the scum next weekend!
bravo Marina Hyde in today's Guardian
5,000 gold-plated iPods bearing Frank Lampard's lasered signature are to be melted down after demand for the £599 product failed to materialise in the wake of the World Cup. Do take a moment to digest those details. Writing in this space before the tournament, I recalled all those dementedly self-regarding autobiographies that followed the 2006 World Cup tournament, of which Frank's was such a standout example. Yet at no stage, not even in my most grimly cynical moments, did I suspect that the once-bitten Frank was at that very moment lending his lasered imprimatur to something that even in a crowded marketplace would manage to redefine early 21st century tosserage. If you had to distil the very essence of hubris into a single product, you would surely be left with a gold-plated Frank Lampard iPod. The fact that the brainwave was created in association with a firm backed on Dragon's Den merely crystallises the cloth-brained, soul-sapping nullity of the age in which we are doomed to live.

the arrogance of those players who by rights should be pelted in the stocks in town squares is pretty staggering....

This news is about a month old is it not??? Would've thought anything like this is more down to the English FA rather than the individual players. They're now getting a hello kitty design on them which suggests there is a market for such tat
Not to mention it was for charity as well, I'm sure they could have flogged some down the bridge if they had thought about it. They've also failed to mention in the papers that they did Bobby Moore ones as well but perhaps they aren't getting melted down. Anything to sell papers and that includes the Guardian...
