I really don't care about this little nothing Cup, so we should honestly be looking for opponents that allow us to rest as many starters as possible, so

Either:
- an EPL team that beats us and knocks us out of this tournament quickly

OR

- a team from a lower division that we can beat with ONLY backups playing
Obviously!

Btw huge deal again!

LIVERPOOL are pursuing a £240million naming rights deal to finally kickstart their troubled move to Stanley Park.

Carlsberg's 18-year shirt sponsorship with the Reds ends next year.


But the Danish beer brewers are prepared to match the £100m Arsenal received for a 15-year deal with Emirates.


Yet Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett want to smash existing records, asking far more than the Gunners got in 2004.


Hicks and Gillett see the numerous examples of US stadium sponsorship deals as the blueprint for the new Anfield.


The New York Mets baseball team and New Jersey Nets Basketball side currently claim the most lucrative naming rights deals.


They both secured a 20-year contract with Citi Group and Barclays worth £240m respectively.


Both Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants are negotiating similar returns for their new arenas. Liverpool are confident they can at least match the £12m-a-year which the top US franchises have secured, and will be looking to top them.


The club wants new partners on board well before completion of the arena, which is on hold due to the recession, but which the owners insist is merely delayed rather than cancelled.


New Reds managing director Christian Purslow sealed a record- breaking £80m shirt deal with Standard Charterd - and Hicks and Gillett know such lucrative deals are key to restoring stability at Liverpool.


The underfire Kop owners have launched a serious charm offensive over the last few days to try to win back the trust of the supporters.


Until the levels of debt at the club are reduced, they will continue to be perceived cynically for the broken promises of the past

Indeed. Liverpool 6-1 Hull City.......We have owned them at Anfield. Torres with a hat-trick, Ryan Babel with 2 and Gerrard with a beauty! Once again, though, we leaked a goal to a weaker opponent. ManU's visit to Anfield is fast approaching......if this terrible defensive performance continues, they'll p8nish us.

A Saudi Arabian prince has confirmed he is looking to buy up to half of Premier League football club Liverpool.

Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud told the Saudi Al-Riyadh newspaper "we are looking forward to acquiring 50% of the club's stake".

The price of £200m to £350m he is ready to pay for the stake is more than the £174m US owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett paid for the whole club.

A deal to open football schools in the Middle East has also been signed.

The prince's sports investment company F6 has confirmed it has reached a deal with Liverpool co-owner George Gillett to set up two academies in Saudi Arabia and two in North Africa.

The deal would also extend the interests of the US Nascar motorsport series in the Middle East.

"This partnership will provide a lot of investments in football, racing and sports media in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East," an F6 statement said.

"The contracts are basically sports investments, which also include establishing football academies that will definitely help the future of Saudi sports in the future."

Meanwhile the prince said it would be "marvellous" to seal a deal securing a 50% at the Merseyside club, which he called one of the most famous in the world.

Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett have been looking to reduce Liverpool's £245m debt and paid off £60m in July.

That was when the loan used taken out to buy the club in February 2007 ran out and was renegotiated with banks RBS and Wachovia.

Considering what Hicks and Gillett paid it is a huge increase in the club's value
Harry Philp, Hermes Sports Partners

"The deal will be concluded soon and its value will be between £200m and £350m," the Al-Riyadh paper quoted the prince, who is also an honorary member of Saudi football club Al Hilal, as saying.

"If we finalise the deal, it will be something marvellous because Liverpool is one of the best and most famous clubs in England and the whole world."

The Saudi interest comes after a document was leaked showing that since March 2009 the club has been seeking to attract new investors in return for a stake in the Anfield club.

In March 2009, a prospectus drawn up by investment banks Rothschild and Merrill Lynch told potential investors that for £50m they could get a minority stake in "one of the world's most successful football clubs".

Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud, who was at Anfield on Saturday for the 6-1 win over Hull - where he signed the deal for the academies - now appears to be seeking to invest much more than £50m.

As well as the F6 sports investment vehicle he is also chairman of Saudi holding company FAMA Group.

"Considering what Hicks and Gillett paid it is a huge increase in the club's value to somewhere between £400m and £700m," Harry Philp, managing director at sports financers and advisers Hermes Sports Partners, told the BBC.

"They had to refinance their debt with their banks recently. Despite paying off £60m of their debt recently as part of that refinancing it is still surprising, particularly considering that plans for a new stadium are on hold."

However, a number of questions remain over any possible investment, should the Saudis take a stake.

"The Saudis will have to take 25% of the club from each of Hicks and Gillett if they want half the club, but whether they both would be willing to sell any more of their holdings is unknown," added Mr Philp.

Mr Hicks has promised that a new stadium will be built when the current global financial turmoil settles down.

Liverpool recently signed a sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered bank, a sign that the club's commercial revenues are set to remain healthy over the coming seasons.

The deal begins next July and runs to the end of the 2013/14 season.

It's about damn time..............

So we're looking at GBP 185 million which is still left to pay off.......not too bad eh??? I honestly thought it was much much higher. HA!
