Ownership and finances

{editsemiprotected} Change "On 16 April 2010 Martin Broughton was appointed Chairman of the Club in order to oversee the sale of the club by the owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett.[75] In May, accounts were released showing the club to be £350 million in debt with losses of £55m, causing auditor KPMG to qualify its audit opinion.[76] The club's creditors, including Royal Bank of Scotland, took Gillet and Hicks to court to allow for the resale of the club. A Liverpool High Court[clarification needed] Judge, Justice Floyd, eventually ruled in favour of the creditors and paved the way for a sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures, although Gillet and Hicks still had the option to appeal the verdict.[77] However Gillet and Hicks got an 11th hour reprieve from a Texas district court just before the interim bank-appointed board were about to consider the $477.2 million sale. The Texas court issues a restraining order after the the two owners said the board were responsible for an "epic swindle" by selling the club for less than its supposed value. The club then issued a statement saying: "The independent directors consider the restraining order to be unwarranted and damaging and will move as swiftly as possible to seek to have it removed." The Financial Times said the board may ask a British court to decide whether the Texas court had jurisdiction in the case. Pending the decision, however, Liverpool's debt is due on 15 October 2010; if not paid in time it is possible that the club go into administration and consequently be docked 9 points by the league.[78] Another bid was also received by the club from Singaporean Peter Lim, who increased his initial offer[clarification needed] to $507 million.[79]" to

Out on loan - Daniel Pacheco is at Rayo Vallecano not Ath. Madrid.

He was loaned to Atletico Madrid who loaned him to Rayo Vallecano so technically its correct. NapHit (talk) 10:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Squad table format

A discussion is being held here on the possibility of rolling out a new squad template. The new template, named {{football squad player2}}, differs from the standard squad layout in several ways:

• It features a sort function
• Comes in a single column format that can be understood by screen readers.
  • Single column format ensures that low resolution browsers, including mobile devices, do not get part or all of the second column cut off.
  • Single column format ensures less clutter, particularly at lower resolutions, for wide sections such as the Arsenal loan section.
• It gives nationality its own column; at present flags are featured in a blank, untitled column
• It complies with Wikipedia's guidance on flag usage.
• It leaves enough space to add images of current players, an example of which can be seen at Watford F.C#Current squad.

It is proposed that the new template be added to some of Wikipedia's most high-profile club articles, which might include Liverpool F.C.. To give your thoughts, please read and contribute to the discussion at WikiProject Football.

Luis Suarez's 8 match ban

I think that the decision to ban Suarez for that number of matches is an insensible and a biased one. Suarez himself is of mixed racial origins and it's not fair how John Terry got away with a slap on the wrist for his racial row. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.alshanabla (talk • contribs) 16:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

liverpool goalkeeper is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Manuel_Reina not the goalkeeper stated under current players 72.19.66.239 (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I see no problems, Reina is listed below. He is commonly known as Pepe Reina, hence why that is the link in the current players section. NapHit (talk) 23:25, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

they are missing a couple of player's names.

Pathvindersachdev (talk) 17:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Not done: far too little information to be actionable: need the name of the players and how they should be added.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 17:51, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
