yeah, they've got the money. Gillett got knocked back at first because Moores was worried about his ability financially to run a team long term, and was worried that we'd end up with a Man U type situation. Gillett went away and came back with an even richer bloke as well.
I think that, aside from their nationality, this takeover is as far from the Glazer one as possible. When Glazer 1st visited Old Trafford he was made to leave in the back of a police van becasue the bizzies feared for his life!
Thing is, there'll be plenty of people giving us shit about being owned by the yanks, but anyone else could end up in the same situation down the line, I doubt we will be the last. Most probably crave it.
For me, I'm not sure at the moment what I think, all we've had so far is one surreal press conference and a shit load of speculation.
They're going to call the new stadium something daft though The Microsoft Anfield Arena or some such tosh. At least Kit Kat and McCain Ovan Chips have prior commitments.
