So was I

mmmmm........we know they don't know anything about football - they have admitted that and we know they are not Liverpool fans - they have admitted that also.

If you discount those reason then I'm not sure why else you would buy the club unless it was for business reasons - not necessarily a bad thing, however, if that is the case I want a ****ing brilliant businessman and not one who rushes through due dillegence and then offers way over the odds for the shares.....

it just seems like there are loads of contradictions.

Me and Dhavlos could well be wrong and I hope we are.

I am implying that they know that Liverpool is one of the Best Clubs in Football. They wanted to own a Football club. They realise that Football is the most popular Sport in the world. As Sport Club Owners, they are in it to improve the clubs and thereby increase their own shares.

Once you realise these abovementioned facts. Why make a Big Issue over Due Dilligence? All you need to do is check for major bookkeeping scams and hidden debts. If they dont exist, Pay what the club is worth and start with running the club the way you'd want it to be run. Trying to get the club on the cheap, shows a more short term motive.

Ha!
Don't believe you.

Mate I pray to God we are wrong, spectacularly so.

I guess here is where we place our faith and trust in Parry, Moores and the Board, that they made the right choice and for the right reasons. We'll have reservations, we always will, until #19 is ours and the stadium is built and fully paid for.

I'm in the same boat as you and Frog.

Hope to God my gut instinct is wrong, but something about this takeover just doesn't add up.

Mmmm, I dont think I share your views on due diligence. I still think rushing it in 3 days is a cause for concern. I think Mihir Bose says on the BBC website that when Gillett undertook due diligence DIC were still the board's preferred choice, so it would suggest the pressure was on for them to complete their investigations as soon as possible.

Hicks features on SSN (SKY News) and seems a crazy son of a bitch. Certainly not media shy.

Really? He didnt seem as composed or as comfortable in front of the media and fielding questions as Gillett did today.
