DIC have pulled out

[kemm1]

FFS, don't be ridiculous.#

Do you want your noose now?

Yes you are right, we shouldn't conduct our business in public and I understand how the club works but you can also understand why fans are concerned about these sudden developments when the club have spent the past month selling the DIC bid to us.

It looks like DIC came in with a lower offer than they had originally offered and are trying to low ball the shareholders after getting the fans on their side.

As for conducting due diligence in 3 days, that doesn't impress me it concerns me.

Have the board formally explained why they couldn't recommend the deal to the shareholders?

Waiting for Rushian to offer his opinions on that affair on YNWA.

i think a few people on here are way to obsessed about that groundshare thing.
From a economically standpoint it make sense, everybody knows that. Gillett knows, and said so. When the reactions from the club and fans told him him it wasn`t a good idea he changed his mind.




But wouldn`t you love it if we owned the stadium, and Everton had to rent it from us? And we`d call it Anfield, so they would finally be back to were they started.

[Tinkerbitch]

**** me there are some overreactions on here

at no time do Moores, Parry or anyone connected to LFC owe DIC or anyone else a goddamn ****ing thing.

it's "unprofessional" for LFC's shareholders to consider a higher offer the club?

or is it just plain annoying for them that someone else thinks we're worth more than they do?

DIC, Gillet or anyone else who buys into top level football now stands to make a ****load of cash over the next 3 years and beyond

so excuse us if don't just flog our club just because we let you have a look at our books. it took you long enough to go through it- why was that? thorough or just making sure that we are as profitable as you'd hoped from the outside?

there's a reason why DM and RP have backed away from DIC and considered the new bid from Gillet. None of us know what it is so we'll just ahve to wait

all this "the board are imbeciles" and the american xenophobia (as well as a few sweeping statements about arabs) is an absolute disgrace imo not just to liverpool fans but any decent human being

Carrism, please dont let reason stand in the way of ranting hysteria of other posters. Really, I'm as gutted and worried as anyone else, but the racial slurs are getting too much. Perhaps we all need to accept we don't know what's going on and only base our opinions on what's fed to us by the media

Its a disaster for me. I converted to Islam and bought a keffiyah to impress those DIC *******s. They'll never let me in the stadium if Gillet goes through.

Noose? It's my opinion fcuk face

Personal insults are out of order.

Of course not. This is LFC - you're expecting a bit much aren't you?

During due dilligence there will certainly be a confidentiality agreement in place whereby DIC are not allowed to disclose anything they have discovered through examining the books, but I dont know if this works both ways and they club are not allowed to give details of DIC's bid.

The suspicion -right or wrong - will be that it was a case of greed and money on the part of the board, and so I would guess there might be a statement to offer some explanation without going into specifics.

The "old money" comment sounded like someone on a wind up or someone dangerously out of touch with reality.

[Red_Al_77]

One thing, throughout this entire mess, is clear as daylight.

This Gillet lad is obviously DESPERATE to take control of the club.

It seemed we were merely days, if not hours, away from finalising a deal with DIC and Gillet suddenly pops up with a hugely increased bid for club, smashing DIC out the park and forcing the club to reconsider.

He skimmed through the all the paperwork/new stadium/shareholder rubble etc in THREE ****ING DAYS.

You have to admire his bullish, ridiculously direct approach.

He wants control of this club BADLY. Fair play to him.

Good point.

brilliant!!!

DIC are top buisness men etc,
wouldn't they see us considering another bid as part and parcel of buisness or do they know we'd take Gillett over them every day cos of what there're bringing i.e. funding the bid and stadium via an investment portfolio, do this as a money making investment, accountable to investors and plan to sell once we're hugly profitable.

Considering everything looked done and dusted a couple of weeks ago then the leaked document about the DIC bid. Did Moores and co spot something.

DIC pulling out, pardon the pun, sounds like there saving face as they know head to head (again pardon the pun) with Gillett they would come out 2nd best.

If DIC were the best option Moores and the board would take that IMO.

Well they have to say something after hyping up this deal as being the one to take the club to the next level.

Saying they've noted DiC's statement is hardly going to reassure the fans.

Assuming this is correct and given that DIC are now out, what harm is there in Parry coming out and saying it was not the right deal for the club?
