The Royal Bank of Scotland moves to force George Gillett and Tom Hicks to sell Liverpool: Will potential new owners get a foreclosure price? And what does this mean for the Reds on the pitch?
As one of those fans, I can't wait for this whole nonsense to be behind us. Hopefully it'll be easier to concentrate on getting points then.

I don't understand why people who can't afford something, get to keep it?! I mean, RICH people... I certainly can't just go and buy a Mercedes, run it into the ground, smash it in a few accidents, never make payments and then sell it for a profit... WHY CAN THEY DO IT!?

It's between them and their lenders. Here, the banks have had enough and are forcing them out so they can recoup their loans.

But they're Americans, aren't they? Did they get loans from US banks, or UK banks?
And how did Glazer do it with Man U?

Hicks, Gillett: You will walk alone. (Sound of ecstatic fans as they leave)
