This is very long but very interesting. I'm about 10 minutes in and about 50 to go!

Great stuff Hass

[Hass]

You're welcome Graybach.

I've just finished listenign to it all. Gillett's really started to warm to me, he has done alot of research on the club, the ground and some of his points are very interesting!

Reporter - "The Stanley Park stadium, you won't be sharing with the other soccer team .... I don't even remember the name of the other team"

[Red_Polo]

Thanks for that Hass, will give it a listen later tonight

This is very worth a listen to... Some really good insights - Japan pre season etc - South America and scouting. very interesting indeed

due diligence wasnt 3 days
3/4 months b4 they picked DIC
the 2nd one when they went in again did take 3 days but it was just double checking.

[El Jefecito]

That was awesome Haas. Thanks!

BTW Listening to this it's very obvious to see that these people know what they are doing. I think we've landed on our feet here.

[Hass]

Love it how Gillett talks about learning the history of the Spion Kop, how we always stand there, the capcity of the stand prior to seating and also the capacity now. How the stand is one of the biggest single capacity stands in Europe and the fact it has has 76 rows.. It's the attention to details this guy goes into which is making me warm to him already!

Glad you guys are enjoying it, I know it's long but it makes interesting listening.

[captainfog]

OK, now I am starting to warm with them......still with a degree of caution mind....

This interview eased my concerns over due dillegence.

Also, I am exciting by the mkt potential with Hicks owning all of those TV networks......

fingers crossed their walk is as good as their talk

[Shaggy]

So this is really worth listening to huh? Think I'll have a listen when I get home.

Gillett inspires a lot of confidence.

It is worth listening to Shaggy, just make sure you're comfortable and have plenty of time. It goes for 60 minutes, at least that's what it said, I only got through 30 minutes but it's very interesting.
