Title: Liverpool Bankrupt? Post by: Jonola (Jon) on June 05, 2009, 02:47:23 PM Worrying For Scouser Fans
Liverpool said it had been granted a license to play in next season’s Champions League, access to which is contingent on proving the business is a “going concern.” The owners say they have no plans to walk away from the 18- time English champion. Instead, they have held talks with potential investors about acquiring an equity stake and are in discussions with their bankers to extend their loan. On July 24th, £350 million must be paid back to RBS and Wachovia, the two banks. Where that money is going to come from God alone knows. Not only will UEFA kick clubs out of competition for financial impairments but the Premier League can impose significant points deductions. Title: Re: Liverpool Bankrupt?

Man utd, Liverpool and the like can not sustain this without penalty.

Title: Re: Liverpool Bankrupt? Post by: Jonola (Jon) on June 05, 2009, 03:02:32 PM They are paying an incredible £36 000 000 a year INTEREST on the debt. They haven't paid ONE PENNY off the actual loan they took out to buy the club.
The club is losing over £100 000 A DAY You shouldn't be allowed to owe the aounts premiership sides do. It skews the playing field. The top four teams are the most in debt. If they were servicing the debt it would be kind of fair. But they are not, they are falling more into debt every day to stay in the top four. If one of the top four loses its Champions League place they may go the way of Leeds. |
