            Never been myself, my line manager's boyfriend works there and met Rafa te other night. His opening line to Rafa was "Are you happy to beat Chelsea?"

            I think Davina pitches tougher ones than that!

              Despite reports of a new counter-bid to buy Liverpool from George Gillett, the owner of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team, sources at Dubai International Capital insist that their move to buy the club is on course.

              DIC are currently involved in due diligence and sources claim that a formal offer to buy chairman David Moores' 51 per cent holding could be made via the Stock Exchange in a fortnight.

              Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry said at the weekend: "A huge amount of work is going on and we are confident everything will be completed relatively soon.

              "Everything seems to be going fine but there is an extraordinary amount of work to be done and details to be completed, and it is tied in with the new stadium development so that makes it a bit more complex - we will have news sooner rather than later.

              "People have to check the books and all of our contacts and the thing that makes it more complicated is the stadium as they have to do a huge amount of investigations."

              Liverpool have dismissed suggestions that Chelsea's injuries were the cause of their humiliation at Anfield on Saturday.

              Boss Rafael Benitez is demanding that his team get full credit for their 2-0 Premiership victory following claims that it came about because central defenders John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Khalid Boulahrouz were out.

              Both Benitez and defender Jamie Carragher are unimpressed with the excuses being made for Chelsea.

              Carragher said: "In Rafa's first season I can remember us going into big games with Neil Mellor a lone striker. I don't remember too many people making excuses for us."

              Benitez added: "When we were losing some games, without Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, people didn't say we had players missing.

              "The first season I was here we had players missing, but we said, 'No excuses, let's keep going'.

              "We deserve some credit. Don't forget we had Xabi off the field for 10 minutes due to injury during Saturday's win. We must give credit to our players and not talk about the other team.

              "I've said all season we have a better squad than before, a better team than before. Now when you see players like Jermaine Pennant playing really, really well and Fabio Aurelio also, you know you have a good team and that we can beat anyone."

              Liverpool's own injury problems are easing with Harry Kewell back in light training, the Australia having not played since the World Cup finals with a foot injury.

              Kewell could be available again in a month, and said: "I hope that I'm about three or four weeks away from being fully fit.

              "I'm under the supervision of the medical team here and the surgeons who operated on me, so once they're all happy with the running then I can start on ball work. Once that's going well it's up to the manager when he decides I'm ready."

              Just believe and you never know what will happen.

              According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

                Could this be the case?

                This legal obligation for due dilligence doesnt make sense

                Firstly whats the point in signing an exclusivity period agreement with DIC if others are allowed due dilligence

                Secondly if EVERY bidder is legally oblidged to be allowed due dilligence whats to stop this going on adinfinitum. Gillett bids proceeds with due dilligence, Lecter bids proceeds with due dilligence, An Evertonian bids proceeds with due dilligence etc...

                Thirdly if every bidder was allowed due dilligence every company in the UK would be bidding for their competition so that they could view their books

                There must be safeguards built in to protect the company. IMO due dilligence will be allowed when the board agrees a deal in principle

                      That sounds right.

                            Yea just realised it was not very new.

                            Why are we not discussing this though?

                              This needs to be merged with his other thread, politely:



                              Then we don't have to keep repeating the same points.
