RAWK blog offers more nuanced pic of Gillett

[MORPHEUS]

agree, dont know who the villain of this all is. Is it DIC Parry Gillet? Is there a villain or any heros?

Personally - being a very cynical sort of person after yesterday's bizarre nonsense - if I had to look for a villain it would be Steve Morgan. We know he and Moores are enemies. I wonder if Morgan has been feeding Gillett with stuff about the DIC deal and between them they spotted an opening last week. For sure it seems odd that Gillett came in at this late stage - or an example of amazing brinkmanship. If he's so keen why didn't he come in earlier? And 3 days to complete Due Diligence - unheard of!

To be fair to Gillett he reputedly is hands-off when buying a business so there's no suggestion just yet that Moores would go and Morgan be instated. But you have to say Morgan's been very quiet of late - why? - and Gilllett could do with his money.

This is all speculation. Maybe Morgan has no part in the shenanigans. Maybe he is actually a far better bet to run and manage LFC than Moores and Parry and we need him.Who knows. Well we don't - that's for sure. At this stage I am trying very hard not to blame Moores as I have always thought he only wants the best for the Club.

But there's a rat in there somewhere. Amidst all the emotion and knee-jerk on here, there's something which simply does not add up.

I do wish people would stop making references to The Harlem Globetrotters when talking of Gillett's sports dealings.

Reading Bascombe's article - maybe I was a bit harsh trying to finger Morgan.

Not that Bacombe's article proves anything.

I admire the eternally optimisitic RAWK writers, they do tend to put a good spin on everything.

But one minute we're being told by Parry the DIC deal is almost done and 'will take us to the next level'.

The next we're being told, actually Moores prefered Gillett all along.

I just dont buy it. Not for a second.

I'm not saying the yank wont be good for the club, I am saying I think he was very much the backup choice.

I also don't understand why it would have been wrong with a quick 12 hour decision? Our board already knew everything about the bid from DIC so why delay any decision even longer?

Put it this way, why did DIC pose such a 12 hour ultimatum after horsing about for so long themselves?

Did they know their claim would be rejected, forcing Moores' hand?

Either way we, the fans, have been conned. If as Parry says, (and I am fed up of typing this over and over again) this was the deal to take us to the next level, and DIC were fans that understood the heritage of the club etc, why the hell would they need 12 hours to decide? They wouldn't need 12 seconds.

Seems to me Parry and Moores are trying to find the best deal for themselves, and just trying to sell it to the fans, whoever it may be that month. Last month Dic, this month Gillett, next month teh Northern Irish fella or whoever.

Either way, I've not read anything yet that convinces me that this guy is the right man for our club.

Gillett is not even worth substantially more than Moores or even Morgan!

It makes little or no sense to be selling the club to him, especially in such a haze of confusion and uncertainty.

It's truly bizarre.

Looks like it's becoming a panic sale

It has been a panic sale for the last years.

Looks like it's becoming a panic sale

Yep, that's what it *feels* like anyway.

Worrying.

I cant believe I'm actually saying this, but...

I kind of hope it all collapses and we're back to square one!

Do I mean that ? Not sure.

[AFII]

I don't hope that. No one knows what would happen then.

Rafa may leave or something like that. No one knows what promises Parry gave him when he signed his new deal.

Yeah, I know, we really do need this all sorted out NOW.

Suppose this Gillett lad might be better than we all think.

*shrugs*

Fingers crossed, eh ?

Yes.

Even that it may not be the best deal at least we would get the stadium sorted out and Rafa would probably stay.
