If you could go back in time and choose again...

I don't want anyone of them but G&H now owns the club so I guess I will have to live with it.

I love the club to much to quit supporting them whoever owns the club.

This place and all fans have gone insane. I can't believe what I am reading, some people are never happy. We don't deserve a brand spanking new stadium and a transfer budget that has yet to be taken away. Protest against them and watch everyone cry when they walk away and we are screwed. Who would I choose? There is no choice. DIC would have sold us down the river, Moores couldn't carry on and the other parties were either non-existant or were not suitable.

Be careful what you wish for, lest it come true.

i agree on that. so far they've not let us down, far from it.

[dww]

Precisely the reason they would have invested heavily in the playing squad.

Why? I really don't get that logic to be honest. They would have done roughly the same thing G&H are doing IMO in terms of financial investment in team/stadium. They may well have used different sources for the money but they would have wanted to have gotten a return on their investment and ploughing huge sums of money into the squad would not have been a great cost/benefit analysis.

The profit is in a sustainable squad investment to maintain competetivity and then rake in the extra income from the new stadium followed by selling the whole shebang for a nice healthy profit.

I don't know what it is exactly but I really can't stand grass is greener numpties...FFS on their logic we may as well have sold to the Thai's seeing as they 'had a ****load of money and wanted to invest in LFC'

Amazing how a few little quotes and some severe media spin and rumours have the power to corrupt small little minds

[Fierce]

No Kraft option? They were the saviours of the world!!

[Diego]

hindsight is a pretty useless thing since we can't turn back time...

totally irelevant post as we will never know how the situation would be if DIC or someone else would have bought the club...

we only work with what we've got, and that the only thing that matter, making the best out of the current situation...

so my vote... none of the above as it doesn't matter...

Perhaps the question should have been about how much confidence you still have in G & T. I have all but lost mine (and will not hide my admiration for DIC as an investor) - in fact I will go so far as to say that I doubt the stadium we have been shown will ever be built.

And kindly refrain from using terms such as 'numpties' - it is so KT.

[Darth Marty]

t&g for me, as of this minute they havent made any poor decisions.
Im hoping it will stay that way...................

i have to admit i am frustrated with the new owners, especially hicks and i have been for some time now, don't like the way he talks, seem not to be bothered about the club. still have faith in george, he spoke with passion and could well become a lovable figure at anfield, he just brought the wrong man in with him...

but we still might salvage this thing. if we can show rafa our support and if we qualify for the champions league, rafa still might have a job to do for a number of years, especially if we will come close to the title...

so hope is not lost

Funny as that is the only thing I am confident of, they will build that stadium. Why go through all the cost and planning app if you have no intention, a lot of time and effort would have been wasted.

L4 for me.

DIC's Sameer Al-Ansari recently said in the Telegraph something along the lines of this: "There were rumours that the Sheikh pulled the plug on the deal, well he didn't, it was me. It broke my heart to do it as we were about to buy my dream but Liverpool kept us waiting for so long. There are other rumours about a 7 year sell off, which is totally incorrect and put out to destabalise us. We would never have sold Liverpool. To this day I haven't got over it and never will but we move on"

Al-Ansari was speaking about DIC backing Branson in his £11Billion bid for Northern Rock. The interviewer asked whether the credit crunch would mean DIC pays loads in interest for that investment, Ansari replied "DIC is not effected by the credit markets" -

****ing loaded they must be.

Impossible to say without knowing the ins and outs of all parties' offers and plans for the club. The 7 year plan by DIC does not concern me that much as they must have had some pretty concrete plans for boosting the value of the club if they wanted it to sell it for profit in 7 years time, which surely would not be possible unless we were successful.
Not sure what DIC would have done in this respect, but if they proceeded with the bland plans already in place then that would have been short-sighted and probably disastrous in the long term.

If the Americans do deliver the stadium they have promised and it does end up being a 78,000 seater then that will be a great legacy. But this Rafa business is leaving a very sour taste and it is clear they will be saddling us with a huge debt - not only the stadium debt but also the debt of purchasing the club in the first place.

I have never understood that seven year plan myself. Why would DIC go through all that trouble just to make a £200m-£300m profit? That's like a drop in the ocean for them.
