Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[Rashid]

It's by John Edwards, a journo and he does know what he is talking about (IMO)

What's the source Rashid? The tone sounds like it is someone who knows what they are talking about but the facts are a bit thin.

Nothing new in that piece mate. It sounds like just another opinion from someone who may or may not know anymore than we do.

For what paper, where is that printed?

[Rashid]

Also you seem to be stepping away from your opinion that the deal would be done.

Not at all, I am sticking my what I was told. I am just shocked at Hicks stance as it goes against what is happenintg privately.

You are right - just found it on the Mail website by the same journalist who wrote the "won’t sell unless the price is right" in quotes headline above despite the fact it wasn't a quote and the article pretty much saying the opposite.

How can you be so sure it is happening?

He's a proud Texan. He has to show defiance. That's in their blood. And again, as long as nothing's been signed then he has to make out that he doesn't want to sell. If he says that he wants out now and then for some reason a prospective buyer pulls out then he's real easy prey for future buyers. It's all gamesmanship imo.

Because I trust the two seperate people that have told me.

and he want to get the best possible deal.

One thing I did notice is that Hicks' statement was released through a finance PR firm to the press agency so he's obviously been advised on what to say. He doesn't seem to have taken advice when briefing the media before, just ask The Echo who caught him out last week over the Klinsmann story, so he's obviously had input on what should be said.

Why's he done that? Or am I reading in to things to much?

I hope they don't let you down.

He might have actually learned to keep his mouth shut for a change! I still think it is too much to ask though...

Incidentally, didn't Tony Barrett who broke the Klinsmann story in the Echo say that in the same interview Hicks revealed something big, but Barrett was told (possibly by Hicks) not to disclose it? I wonder what that was. Could it be takeover related?
