60% of the money from the Thai deal will come from a national style lottery, the other 40% will be coming from private companies wishing to further Thailand as a sporting 'power'.
The Thai Govt will own the stake in LFC - so the stake is effectively with the people of Thailand - via the Thai Govt, and not with Thaksin as an individual
The one 'snag' from stopping the deal being signed is the number of seats on the LFC Board of Directors want - they want 2 seats, LFC are offering only 1.

I'm not sure of what the difference between 1 and 2 seats would be (as I don't know the total number of seats) but I think it a good idea for any club to limit the number of seats a country can have on the club's board to as low a number as possible.
A country trying to run a soccer team sounds like a very bad idea.

The more reliable sources are saying that Barton will join for £2.5million - tho never believe the silly season transfer mill. PlanetFootball will probably be running the GinGan Guily to LFC story again on a slow news day!
Rosisky is a more interesting bit of transfer gossip - esp given alleged quotes from himself and his agent - and given the current state of Dortmund's finances...
If LFC are in the transfer market hopefully we'll get our targets before Euro2004 - and therefore any transfer fee skyrocketing due to a player doing well and more clubs becoming interested.

Steve Morgan has withdrawn his offer to Liverpool FC:-
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1221935,00.html
Personally I think the guy has tried to pull the wool over a lot of LFC fans' eyes. Valuing the club at around 40% of it's true worth, trying to gather support of fans by offering them a near worthless sharescheme, together with his continues attacks on GH and our Chairman
He didn't even have the decency to wait until the season was over - no, he had to have a go during the most important time of the season. Sly digs at those in power at LFC during our important CL run-in showed for me that he isn't a true fan with 'best interests of the club at heart' - he can f*&^ back off to Jersey.
Sadly I get the feeling he'll be waiting in the background for another poor set of results before he stirs it up again.
Seems like this guy didn't put up and won't shut up.

too much uncertainty at the club.
Morgan is playing to the fans, rather than the club's interests.
The thai offer looks the lesser of the two evils.
Houllier could be sacked next week, with rumours that his successor
could be Rafa Benitez/O'Niell/Curbishley/McClaren.

I think I just typed up something about GH not going anywhere and it being all media crap.
Unfortunately, just found out that next week will see the official announcement that GH will be gone.
Absolutely gutted.

If the Board have found a good replacement for him, then I'm glad
he'll be gone.
I think Houllier did well in his first 3 seasons, but it's gone downhill
since then.
Unlike many fans who berate the frenchman, I think Houllier deserves
the respect and good wishes for the time he's been in charge.
It's just that for the next level, we need someone better.
Like Steven Gerrard has mentioned, we need atleast 3 world-class
players, and if we get the cash-injection (hope so!), then we need
to spend wisely.
Unfortunately Houllier has wasted too much money on too many
"potential" signings.
It's time to move on. Thank you GH, good luck for the future.

I agree a few of his signings have not lived up to their potential - or failed at the standards at which LFC set.
Diao, Cheyrou and Diouf have with varying degrees of misfortune let themselves down, as well as GH and the fans.
Tho lets not forget that all managers make mistakes in the transfer market - and fortunately for Wenger (Jeffers & Wiltord) and Ferguson (Veron & Ronaldo) they have league success to paper over any shortcomings in the transfer market.
GH spent £5m, £3.5m and £8.5m on the 3 aforementioned players, you could argue Biscan at £5.5m should be included with those - yet those 4 combined cost less than Veron on his own and the £10m paid for Jeffers should be a subject for the Trading Standards ppl.
For me the amount of bargains and players worth their fees outweigh those who don't or didn't - he replaced an entire squad, won 6 trophies, qualifies for the CL 3 times with those players.
The likes of Baros, Riise, Pongolle, Le Tallec, Medjani and Diarra will all have decent careers ahead of them - and for most that 1st chance to become a 'star player' will happen here. All bought for fractions of what other managers have paid double or treble for, for pale imitations.
For me GH deserved to have his contract honoured (1more season) - we may not have won the league, tho I firmly believe we would have been closer than this season (tho it could be argued that would not be difficult).
A new manager - a new plan, new money, new players - more time needed. People connceted with LFC live in interesting times. Tho time will probably be the reason the next bloke doesn't work out either...

I've no doubt that Ronaldo will become a good player - the coaches and Ferguson will ensure that - tho £13million for a trickster who was hyped up only for his performance vs Bolton is a bit much - esp as the other great prospects from that great U21 Tournament cost nowhere near that much.

Apparently, GH will be sacked today if the reports below are to be believed.
http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,1563,1222908,00.html
"Gérard Houllier's increasingly fraught six years in charge of Liverpool will end today when he meets chairman David Moores for talks.
The manager's departure will be confirmed in an official announcement tomorrow, which will describe the split as amicable. On the list of likely replacements being compiled by chief executive Rick Parry are Charlton boss Alan Curbishley, former Southampton manager Gordon Strachan, Middlesbrough's Steve McClaren and Rafael Benitez, whose Valencia side have just won a double of La Liga and the Uefa Cup,. ................."
.......oh dear, I hope it's not Strachan.
If the board are going to sack Houllier, then atleast get a good replacement.
Curbishley & McClaren are good managers, but lack the experience,
especially if their first competitive game is CL knockout game against
a tough European team.
Mourinho would have been the best choice, but he's going to Chelsea
or so.
Interesting few months ahead.

I think that GH will stay for another season, tbh
but in the likely event that he'll go, has anybody wondered that Ranieri could fill the spot?
Course, he hasn't left Chelsea yet; but it's certainly worth throwing his name into the hat
