LIVERPOOL are praying a form of Merseyside GBH will come to their rescue — Gillett Backstabbing Hicks.Anfield co-owner George Gillett brought his feud with partner Tom Hicks to the fore by refusing to publicly back a £350million refinancing deal.Gillett signed up to the agreement before the February 5 deadline to protect his own investment — but privately he does not believe holding on to Liverpool is in the Americans' or the club's best interest.His son, Foster, left his office at Melwood two weeks ago and there are no plans for his return.It appeared Hicks had seen off the latest challenge from Dubai International Capital (DIC) by signing a debt-ridden agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland and Wachovia.But takeover talks are continuing, with DIC not walking away as they sense the split between the owners leaves the door open for a £250m bid for the whole club — beginning with a fresh move to buy Hicks' share.

RAFA BENITEZ is weighing up a swoop for Argentinian playmaker Pablo Aimar.
The Liverpool boss is looking into the possibility of signing Aimar from Real Zaragoza after being alerted to his availability.
Benitez has managed Aimar previously when the pair worked together at Valencia – a time which Aimar openly admits was his most productive as a player.

Benitez - Masch will stay
Reds boss expects permanent deal
By Peter Fraser Last updated: 25th January 2008 Sky Sports UK
I don't know the exact position now but I talked to Mascherano and he wants to stay.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez believes the sale of Mohamed Sissoko will ensure Javier Mascherano remains at Anfield.
Mascherano is currently on loan on Merseyside and Benitez is desperate to secure the midfielder on a permanent deal during the January transfer window.
The Argentine's temporary deal expires at the end of the season and he could then leave Liverpool with a number of European clubs circling.
However, both Benitez and Mascherano have expressed a desire to extend the 23-year-old's stay and the Reds boss is confident Liverpool owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks will broker a deal.

Darn, why won't the talk about takeovers die down? As usual, the media hacks are out in full force, but can the fans quiet down as well?
Lets move forward and try to salvage what is left of the SEASON, together.
