Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[disco]

I'm sure they could meet in London or Edinburgh just as easily, as Tomas said you meet the client where they want to meet!

[Petea]

Not sure which is more disturbing, the current predicament or that clueless divvy, Rashid, being our man on the inside.

And is it me or does Tony Barrett change tack like the wind. Fackin journos.

Lets get real here, the only interest from DIC has been media speculation, probably planted by people with vested interests in getting the yanks out.

But Hicks has reiterated many times that he's staying and will, unless someone offers him silly money.

I don't think so mate.

I think they believe we will forgive and forget.

They clearly think we are thick dumb soccer fans the way they treated us and our club over the past 6 months. I really believe they think it will all blow over and they will try and squeeze every last penny from us.

These yanks aren't going anywhere.

I am not arguing about the point that they will try and get every cent they can, nothing is truer at this moment.
But I am confident they will sell, if not this January, before the start of next season.

Great to see Sky showing LFC fans on the street calling for the yanks to up sticks and leave

[nobbylad]

I'm sure the media are loving all of the attention around 'English football's most successful club'

I agree with Bazza on this.

Surely there is no long term future for them at a club where they are despised by the fans.

They should take the money and run while they have the chance but no doubt they will hold out for as long as they can to maximise their profit.

if that was to happen my worry would be that DIC wouldnt hang around that long.

[Rich]

you'd be lucky to find 10m people in india and 12m People in China that had 50p tp spend every week......

India has pretty much the largest "middle-class" population in the world?

[bazza76]

TO be honest mate, I am surprised they came back in the first place. It seems there is more staying power in them than we first thought.

I'm shocked they're still so determined to buy the club.

They must really see LFC as a potential jewel in the crown.

[blacky]

Still no official statement from the club!!

I agree in part they do think we will forgive and forget however that once again goes to show how far away they are from understanding LFC and their fans

Liverpool is probably the most militant city in the country and anyone who believes the city and people will forget those who "**** on them" should ask a certain tabloid newspaper about crossing scousers and hoping they forget

[Exiled_red]

I think DIC are sniffing around but aren't prepared to pay way over the odds. To be honest I'm not sure what Hicks agenda is, I think he'll sell if he can get out with a decent profit, but he's playing hardball saying he doesn't want to sell, to see how high DIC will go.

I get the feeling this one could run for a few months while they play cat and mouse in negotiating a price.

[Lecter]

if Rash is getting his information from Bascombe and Bond then it's extremly likely to being close to being correct.

Bascombe, Barratt and a couple of others (who have links in the past with the Echo) are being fed info from board level

Or at least thats what I have heard anyway

[Petea]

Thats not what Mihir Bose said at all. He said they ahdnt made an official bid YET, but were prepared to pay upto £400m for the club.

He said he's heard that they might pay up to 400 million, but that there's been no approach to either yank or official interest declared. Until such a time they buying us is a pipe dream with little or no substance.
