Yankfield?

OK the big derby has come and gone, and Liverpool dropped their first points since the double cup whammy from Arsenal. So the potential 15 points we could have taken before the Barca game is now down to potentially getting 13. That's if we beat Newcastle at St. James's Park next week. Well, lets see. Chances of catching up and possibly beating Chelsea to second are now slipping by.

The big news of course is the takeover by the Yanks, Gillett and Hicks. It opens up the possibilities of a lot more cash being available to build the team. A new 60000 seater stadium is part of the deal, and that would increase gate receipts as well. Plus, it brings up the possibility of making more money by staging big games not necessarily involving Liverpool too - Champs League finals perhaps. Only time will tell how the new owners build the club up. I don't think it will be the limitless cash option that Chelski has, but there will be more to splash, and perhaps Rafa can use his scouting network (mostly in Spain) to better use!
