Liverpool Owners Bank Meeting


Liverpool’s American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks were sitting together in the directors’ box at Anfield last night having earlier met officials from the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The tycoons are due to repay a £350million loan by July 25 unless they can negotiate a new refinancing package. RBS are likely to insist on both men putting more equity into any fresh agreement at a time when the recession is biting.

Stuart Pearce was also in the directors’ box on England scouting duty. The long journey was eventually made worthwhile as the only current England player on show, Theo Walcott, came off the bench to perfectly set up Andrey Arshavin’s fourth goal.
