You can get CB to age 18 if you stay in Education, so it's more like

£4200 * 18 years = £75,600.

I'm in favour. It should have been done a long time ago. You could be a multi millionaire and still entitled to Child Benefit!! So wrong on so many levels.

Thank god.

Worth a thread on its own merits I think Really. Lets hope it doesn't get as bad as going into administration and a points drop.

Just thought I'd also boast that I came 330 in the country on Fantasy Football this week with Sky. Not bad eh? Shame its NFL though.

Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett are understood to be opposed to the bids because they would not deliver a profit on what they paid for the club.

What they paid for the club.... with a whole lot of borrowed / leveraged money.

I wonder what it might eventually sell for? A while back there was a "price comparison" with what Randy L paid for Aston Villa... which is supposedly profitable - which made LFC look massively expensive.

Haha. Do you think the owners would have been affronted by this cheeky offer? See... shouldn't just happen in business, but with house offers too. And maybe £110m for 40% is generous?

Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett initially wanted around £800m for Liverpool, a figure that dropped to £600m.

Several parties have been linked to a takeover but nothing has come close to being finalised.

Earlier this year the American duo also turned down a £110m bid from New York-based Rhone Group for 40% of the club.

This is net income. So £75,600/.6 = £126,000

I agree with DC, the better off should bear the brunt.
I would define better off as being a millionaire son of a millionaire earning six figures and married to someone who will inherit a large fortune.

Well done on sky.

I believe administration is not an option, if they default (H&G) the club falls in to ownership of RBS not in to administration (thank god, points are hard to come by this year:))

It is a funny set up, but it is the owners defaulting on repayment, not the club.
