DIC’s shock move hands all the cards to GillettFeb 1 2007
Mr Gillett has given Liverpool’s board undertakings that once in control he will not scrap the plan for a new stadium at Stanley Park in favour of sharing a ground with Everton, and that he will provide a kitty to finance transfers in the future.
However, Mr Dow warned that such undertakings were not binding in practice.
He said: “It would be extremely unlikely they could enforce a post- completion covenant. It relies on the goodwill of the parties.”
Thats what worries me most. there could still be big trouble ahead.
Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.
* After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs
Thats what worries me most. there could still be big trouble ahead.
Honestly, Bazza, I would like to see a Yank who knows nothing of our history try and push through a groundshare. I doubt he would make it out of Anfield in one piece.
Moores could have decided for himself to sell to DIC. The unissued shares plus Moores shares plus around 5% more would have been enough to take DIC over 75%. I'm sure DIC could get the 5% they need from private shares.

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.
I don't necessarily buy the story that we screwed, or at least that Moores and PArry screwed DIC. (Pardon the pun).
DIC wants total control of LFC. Moores alone cannot offer that. He needs the rest of the board to play ball. If they don't and think money only, Moores can do nowt. Moores and the board also had the obligation to the shareholders to consider the other bid. Granada and Morgan etc could of course thinking buck only here, (well Morgan would like to rock the boat I am sure).
The drama of the DIC exit also makes me suspicious. Why were they so afraid of other bidders if LFC was made for them and them for LFC? Were DIC going to be brushed back anyway and opted for a more suitable PR exit? Their statement surely went a tad over the top in painting themselves as decent good guys and us as bad guys, saying "we will not overpay for assets." Meaning what, that LFC demanded more, or that they came back with a lower offer? Something is not right here...
If DIC came back with a revised offer. If true this of course means that Moores and the board would naturally reconsider their love affair with DIC.

Ah, good call.
I was wondering about those unissued shares.
Like I said all is not crystal clear here....
