Meeting arranged in Dubai

[rushscored4]

Which is better - a dignified manager who is trying to do the right things and an honest bunch of players trying to win in a match in an honest way or a slimey loud mouth manager and a bunch of diving cheating *******s?

Rafa isn't a loud mouth...

Shanks was a win at all costs man, he'd be the first to admit it and that attitude built this club.

If Liverpool were interested in one of those players, wouldn’t they just talk with the agent over the phone etc…. why would they have to meet in person?

I still think it is a personal matter! There are a lot of players etc over here all the time, buying up property etc….. or just on a bit of a holiday

One of my mates thinks he saw Mourinho yesterday and I’ve got photo’s of Van-Damme (SP?) in a night club… looking very old!

Never mind that....put up the picture of van-damme looking old!

But this meeting took place at least 10 days before Maureen was sacked.
Maybe Maureen knew he was on his way, but still, sounds odd.

Remember DIC

Sony gained 4.6% to ¥5,500 in Tokyo following news a $2BILLION fund of Dubai International Capital [DIC], a $13B investment company owned by the emirate's ruler, made a "substantial" investment in Sony. Neither party disclosed details of the size of the deal, but it is expected to be no more than a 5% stake, since an amount above that level requires disclosure with the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Bloomberg reports DIC said it planned a $500M investment in a Japanese company last week. In a statement, DIC said it invested in Sony because of management's "ongoing strategy of focusing on capital efficiency and cash generation." Sony Chairman Howard Stringer commented, "We are happy that DIC has recognized the strength of the Sony brand as well as our unique competitive advantage in having both entertainment and electronics assets to drive our businesses forward." At present, U.S. mutual fund Dodge & Cox is Sony's largest shareholder with an 8.3% stake, per Sony's annual filing in June with the SEC. An asset manager at Yasuda AM called DIC's investment "encouraging" for Japanese stocks. Separately, Sony's shares were also supported by a report from Enterbrain, Japan's leading game magazine publisher, that showed the PlayStation 3 topped Nintendo's Wii in weekly sales for the first time ever during the weeks ended Nov. 11 and Nov. 18. The recently introduced 40-gigabyte model is said to have driven sales. Although the PS3 is poised to outsell Wii in November, it still trails far behind the Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 year-to-date. Sony's ADRs gained 3.7% to $49.09 on Friday.

What the **** does that all mean ?

Let's just keep it simple fella...

"Raaaaaafa Rafael"

[Shaggy]

Can we have that in English?

DIC are the investment arm of the Dubai government. They would have treated the purchase of Liverpool like any other company they own.

People are very much mistaken if they think that DIC would have lavished hundreds of millions on us the same way that Roman has done at Chelsea.

[Kenneth]

Er, so?

[The Erectile Banana]

Does this mean PS3 prices will come down and we will all soon be able to play as Liverpool on PES2008 or FIFA08 and beat the Mancs and The Bitters all day long?

If not I don't see the relevance of the story.

Inclined to agree. Capital efficiency and cash generation says it all.
