I have to start looking for a new favorite team...

I might switch to Charlton, Bolton, Fulham, or Portsmouth. Maybe even Birmingham. Hmmm.

I think the LFC board is making a ridiculous choice, there's no way Morgan wouldn't be a better investor for them. The explanation the other day when they rejected his bid held absolutely no semantic meaning.

>THAKSIN SHINAWATRA >Occupation: Prime Minister >Estimated fortune: £560m >Anfield offer: £60m for 30% stake Funny he is investing his country's money when he apparently has more than enough to buy the club outright.

Dude, does the Thai with the winning lottery ticket get one of the seats on the LFC Board?

Actually, one footie blog has run the numbers and shown that Morgan's offer is less financially attractive than Sinawatra's.

Sure, WC, but how much did they subtract from Sinawatra's offer for all the negative publicity and human rights protests certain to follow on?
