Aye, they'll give him a £200m budget and let him go crazy 
TBH he'd probably just give it all to Keiron Dyer to come out of retirement and turn our club around.

I wonder if he can sign Diouf, Diao, Cheyrou, Baros, Bernard, Le Tallec, Abel Xavier, etc. back as they are all so much better than this batch of players.

Rafa signed him for £15m
Hasnt played him though and let him go for a free to Doncaster.
Yet another example of shitty Rafa signings.

Its now no wonder the owners dont wish to invest in him or the squad any further.
Seriously, are you joking? Why would they tie him to a 5 years contract if they didn't beleive in him The reason they can't/won't invest in him any further is down to the debt the club is in, nothing else.
And the debt they are personally in.
Both having to sell up their American sports assets to stay above water.
Hicks even had to sell up his Ski home for £18m to raise some cash
Gillett and Hicks both have money not tied up in sports clubs. Gillett sold his sports club and made a healthy profit.
In 2 years time they will still be at Anfield as owners and you will still be wanting a new stadium and will still be looking back at the history books and reminiscing about how you were many years ago.
TBH you would do better with Hughes as manager.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about, hicks for example isn't cash rich anymore (unless you take into account how much he creams from the lfc expenses account).
I like your crystal ball sourced opinions, do you work for the daily mail?

You firstly fail to realise that they both bought and ran their American using loans. So although they may well of sold for nice big amounts, huge chunks of said cash was going to service the debt they acquired along the way. Hicks for instance has a $525m loan which he has defaulted on for the last year incurring massive charges each time. He has also been bailed out by the MLB so owes them another fortune.
Secondly they are both leveraged buyout specialists - its how they both made their money initially. So if they had cash or not, they wouldnt put it in to the club. They never did to begin with, and nothing has changed now.
And thirdly, RBS are forcing them to lower the debt by £100m by the time its due in a few months or they will call it in. Now by the CEO's own admission they have touted around other banks for funding and no one is interested unless the amount needed is lowered - the owners do not have the money to do this hence why, again by the CEO's own admission, they are looking to sell part/all of the club.
