Looks like we have a new owner

[Dirk07]

was that for me?

No mate

Sources close to DIC say otherwise

**** em! They are a bit too highly strung for my liking. We don't want people who are gonna "have a funny" every time something doesn't go their way! This is business - not some fairytale.

[redlancer]

ok fair enough

We dont know the ins and outs of each deal but lets say DIC did takeover.

Do you remember that leaked document about selling in 7 years?

Still want them in?

exactly

these could be in it for the long term.

all the talk of them going bankrupt, but 15 years later still millionaires.

as taking america by storm, a certain Beckham is raising the profile and therefore we should benifit from that

Assuming that document is true, then probably not. But DIC said numerous times since it was leaked that they had no plans for selling the club. Again that could be spin, I dont know.

DIC had someone as part of their bid who was a genuine fan. Parry seemed quick to point out DIC were fans and understood the heritage of the club. As far I know neither Gillett or Hicks are Liverpool fans, or know anything about the club. Doesn't that concern you about what their motivation is, what they might do at the first sign of trouble? I'd sooner trust someone who has the club at heart than someone who doesn't

Didn't he have a trial with utd,they didn't want him.

That's true. The rumours were Adu had been massively hyped in America and although a good player he was nowhere near what was expected or required.

I'm not sure being a fan matters that much. ffs Morgan is a fan and I wouldn't trust him ONE LITTLE BIT

No chance of that happening. A deal has been agreed with Gillett.

I'm not ruling anything out after the Stevie G U-turn. I just don't believe they will come back.

The only thing that can make them come back is that we are the best club to buy at a fair price.

He also lies about his age apparently

I take your point, but what motivates someone who is not a fan to buy a club?

[FatTony]

Its not about USA

Its about Liverpool having the money to build a stadium
Its about Liverpool being able to sign better players
Its about Liverpool moving forward

Its matters **** all where they come from
They offered the better deal
Time you accepted it

I don't think that Gillett will have the finances to takes forward though, not like DIC. They may have come up with more up front, but for the longterm I just can't see it.

[Slim]

I'm liking kopdan's enthusiasm and optimism this morning!! We were all gutted when DIC pulled out but if we are getting Gilett (and its still an 'if') then we are just going to have to get over it and move on and look to the future.
We are getting our stadium and (hopefully) moving the club forward. I am prepared to give the new owner a chance.

**** it - its Friday, its sunny, I am getting drunk tonight and we are beating Everton tomorrow!!

[Biff]

Do you think they'll throw a sausage roll up to me rather than me having to get out of my seat and queue for one?

I thought you got your 'sausage roll' from Seat 22.....??

[AFII]

I take your point, but what motivates someone who is not a fan to buy a club?

Money. I don't have any trouble with that.

Football is huge business now.

[Fierce]

So what about the leaked documents about them planning to sell of the club in 10 years or whatever?

I find it bizarre that you would take the word of them over people at our club.
