Liverpool debt dispute forces Americans to consider sale

[Dhav]

What makes you so sure that DIC wouldnt want someone else in charge?

Granted, they'd do things more respectfully and with more dignity than the yanks, but there's a chance they'd want to bring someone else in.

There's a chance but I'd take a large punt that they'd keep Benitez on.

I think Rafa would have a greater chance of staying on under new ownership than the current regime. I'm now praying these cunts fail to secure the re-finance and are forced to sell. Hopefully the board will frustrate this as much as possible and force their hands. If they have any say at all (their members of the board and carry a vote?) then it's time for Parry and Moores to do right by the club and correct their error.

There may be light at the end of the Tunnel but it looks to me that it's from an oncoming train.

Nicely put!

I might be wrong, but my understanding of it is that even if it is ratified by the bank, it's still not a certainty to be...what.....rubber stamped? What if Gillett doesn't consent?

I'm speculating here, in hope, as I have no clue how this works.

You're asking the wrong guy. I took far to many drugs as a young lad for my brain to function properly nowadays and I have absolutely no understanding of how things like this work but I thought ratified and rubber stamped were the same things?

What I mean is...ratified by the bank, at their end, with the deal then dependent on some kind of rubber-stamping at our end - i.e. Hicks & Gillett. Can Gillett's disapproval scupper the deal?

Would love Moores, Morgan and few other Reds to posse up, get a consortium together, and buy the club.

Isn't that what we just changed from ??

Spot on post.

So basically Hicks is a genius

Makes $40 million without spending a penny

Wrong. He's pissing all over us.

It would depend on who is given any power if it is only 50/50 then Gillett can stop any deal as I imagine both would have to sign any guarantees.

This is what I'm thinking. So even if the bank ratifies it, it's by no means signed and sealed.

Come on George, I always liked you ....do the right thing man.

Plus I dont know why former players would go around making stuff up - its not like they would be trying to impress anyone with their 'insider knowledge'............errr, yes they would! Theyre trying to make a living here, and need to impress that they have the contacts and knowledge etc. easy to figure out, a bit like some posters on here!!!!

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rr (:whatever

exactly which former player was the guy talking about? Thats right, you dont know because his identity wasnt divulged. This rumour wasnt about selling papers.

The only journo I can think of who flaunts his insider links with the club is Ballague

Anyway, my point was that former players could very well be in on whats happening right now behind closed doors.

Mark 'you can put your house on it' Lawrenson.

what about him? He hardly flaunts his links. I know he dropped it into an interview a couple of weeks ago that he wouldnt be surprised if the owners left before Rafa did - if anything that proves my point about former players being in the loop

I think it shows how desperate we've become when the one much maligned DIC are now the knights in shining armour to resue our once great club. This is the same DIC that produced a document stating they would sell LFC after 7 years as this was likely to be the optimum time to maximise on their investment.

G&H to DIC, out of the frying pan and into the fire.

[kurtangle01]

I'm worried.

Well that was strongly denied. Nobody really knows, but even if true, i still think DIC would be the lesser of (potentially) two evils.
