Leave it to Liverpool’s Yankee owners to mistakenly entrust a filthy banker with their property. If Liverpool don’t pay £31.5 million to their bank, Lumpturd & Hoser, in six weeks, they may be forced to sell off Ryan Babel and their Spanish heartthrob, 30+ goal scoring sensation Fernando Torres because they didn’t realize that revenue from television deals is the way teams usually pay for their players. Doh!.

Liverpool entered into an 18-month loan agreement with interest of 9 per cent — £2.8 million a year — with a letter of credit to pay back the £31.5 million at the end of the period. Should Liverpool be unable to pay back or refinance the loan, banks could force the sale of Torres and Babel, who was also included in the smaller refinancing package.

Does the term Wankers turn into Yankers when the insulted party is American? Whatever. George Gillett and Tom Hicks are schmucktastickers.
