ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Goat]

I'm sure I read that the new main stand was funded from a interest free loan from FSG, I'm sure their new training ground and the next new stand will be on the same agreement.

Not sure but maybe someone knows here, but didn't FSG buy the club with their own hedge fund money and that the stipulation from Lloyds and BoS that the bidders from the club had to use their own capital.

During the building work, which increased Anfield’s capacity to 54,074, the loan had been referred to as being “interest free”, which led to the belief that the money had come from FSG’s cash reserves.

However, it was in fact “premium free”. FSG have a credit facility which they used to secure the loan for £109,904,000 on favourable terms.

The loan had interest on it. They may well increase that interest! We dont know what the conditions are on that.

Talk about money and watch them all crawl from under their rocks.

Amazing how interested they are in finance, the net spend obsessed, full kit wearing, weirdo's.

It does seem that way.

And if they go into admin, believe me there will not be a repeat (in our current climate) of the bail out from FSG. FSG will have all outstanding money paid first and will have protected themselves.

I think they avoid admin, as FSG will know that will put them in jeopardy. However they may start to seriously downsize while they can.

sounds good to me, where do I sign?

 

[malfosse]

Why hurt yourselves we all know they will come out of this smelling of Rose's.

Smelling of rose's what?

 

[Barca Blue]

On a lighter note.

Coronavirus: Liverpool v Atletico Madrid virus link an 'interesting hypothesis'

A government adviser says speculation over a possible link between coronavirus cases in Liverpool and the club's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid last month is an "interesting hypothesis".

Coronavirus: Liverpool v Atletico Madrid virus link an 'interesting hypothesis'
Speculation over a possible link between coronavirus cases in Liverpool and the club's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid last month is an "interesting hypothesis", a scientific adviser to the UK government has said.

Some coronavirus deaths in Liverpool have been blamed on the 11 March match at Anfield,which was attended by more than 52,000 people, including 3,000 from Madrid, where a partial lockdown was already in force.

While there is no confirmed link between the match and any coronavirus cases, the government's deputy chief scientific adviser, Angela McLean, said it warranted further investigation.

"It will be very interesting to see in the future, when all the science is done, what relationship there is between the viruses that have circulated in Liverpool and the viruses that have circulated in Spain," she said at the UK government's daily coronavirus news briefing on Monday.

Liverpool city council's director of public health Matthew Ashton previously told the Guardian the match should have been called off, while the mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, said over the weekend that it was a "mistake" to allow thousands of Atletico fans to attend.

"It didn't make any sense that 3,000 Atletico fans could travel to Anfield at that time," Martinez-Almedia told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

Latest figures show that 246 people have died with coronavirus in Liverpool's NHS hospitals.

Madrid, meanwhile, is one of Europe's worst affected cities. Spain has the second-highest number of confirmed infection cases in the world, behind the US, figures from Johns Hopkins University say.

The country's death toll climbed close to 21,000 on Monday.

The rs responsible for more deaths shocker.

Yeah I know people will have died anyway - but surely this match accelerated the introduction of a known disease into a country with a dithering economy-at-all-costs obsessed government.
