Thanjk you.

Morten, I meant Al Ansari was a fan and he's got the backing, unlike these yank cunts.
Yes but he doesn't want to save our club he wants to make money from our club. I have no problem with that because as you say they have the financial clout to put money in to take money out.
He isn't doing it for the love of the club though Fredo at the end of the day he has a boss to and he will want to see profits.
Mate I think you need to realise that a) Hicks and Gillett own LFC and b) The logical reason as to why Parry has kept his mouth shut is because he is following orders.
Also when all this stuff about DIC came out Liverpool issued a statement saying they don't comment on speculation so they have issued a statement.
Haven't you envisaged the possibility that there's a split within the board mate ? It could indeed be true. I don't think for one moment, that as a fan, Moores is happy with these americans. As for Parry, he way well be an employee, but I'm sure where his loyalties are. He won't be scrapping the barrel for another job if he's sacked anyway.
Um, I work for a digital marketing agency on the corner. You?
ummm ok now we don't, I work for a bank but very very close to where you, RBS etc are
Hmmm... are you in that office that's on the corner of Devonshire Row, I only ask because I remember that being some sort of a new media marketing company last time I walked past..?

Fredo LIVERPOOL ARE OWNED BY GILLETT AND HICKS THE BOARD DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO.
They may not like them but at the end of the day the board can't issue a statement against the owners and the owners are making statements daily.
Tom you know some people at the BBC don't you, what are they saying about all of this.
-BBC story about Hicks relative saying that they can't wait to get rid is 100% true.
-that serious negotiations have already occurred.
-that hicks and gillette don't see eye to eye (gillette is still a cunt though, he aint cuddly)
I don't know anything else. My source on this is my brother who sits next to and works with the person who is writing the story. The facts for this have been confirmed by the BBC from various independent sources.
Tom Hicks and George Gillett are unlikely to sell Liverpool unless they receive an offer "which makes no sense", insists a business expert.
Rumours are rife Dubai International Capital - the investment arm of the Dubai government - are poised to make a bid to buy out the American duo, whose popularity at Anfield appears to have hit an all-time low less than a year after their takeover.
However, Prof Tom Cannon, Dean of Buckingham University Business School, believes the suggested figures - ranging from £300million to £500million - do not represent good value for money for the purchaser, while anything lower would not even be considered by the owners.
"The numbers don't work for the kind of figures which are being quoted which would give Hicks and Gillett the kind of profit they need to get to pay their debts and save face," Cannon said.
"With figures of between £300m-£500million to get hold of Gillett and Hicks' shareholding, at least £50million on players and - even if you go back to the original plans - for the stadium you need £250million. You are talking about up to £800million.
"That would make Liverpool more expensive than Manchester United or Arsenal and twice as expensive as Chelsea.
"Liverpool have never in their history made big profits - Manchester United have made big profits - but what is there apart from trophy cabinets? And trophy cabinets don't pay interest charges.
"Short of Hicks and Gillett having serious financial difficulties or DIC or someone else making an offer which makes no financial sense I don't think anything changes."
DIC were involved in negotiations with Liverpool over a year ago but pulled out when the price rose and the American duo became involved.
Reports have suggested they are keen to try again to buy the club but only at a price which suits them.
"DIC will never pay over the odds and certainly, on the basis of what we know, they would be expected to pay £100-150million more than they refused to pay a year ago," added Cannon.
"It was them that walked away and since then the price has gone up dramatically.
"Liverpool's situation has not improved - in fact it seems things are worse than last season.
"Whereas last season they were a relatively comfortable third (in the Premier League), now they are currently sixth and the stadium plans have soared from £200million to £300million."
Hicks, owner of ice hockey team Dallas Stars and baseball side Texas Rangers, yesterday issued a statement dismissing links with DIC and stressing he had no intention of doing business with anyone.
The Texan businessman and Gillett, owner of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team, are currently in the process of refinancing a £350million loan with Royal Bank of Scotland which they used to buy the club a year ago.
But even though that is taking some time because of the current pressure on the international credit markets, it is unlikely to force the pair to offload their asset.
Fans upset at the way the club is being run by the Americans are planning a protest at Monday night's Premier League match against Aston Villa at Anfield.
However, Cannon feels it is unlikely to have any impact on the owners.
"They are not going to be scared away. The Texan does not exist who will be allowed to be frightened away," he added.
"I can only think of one football club owner who has probably been driven out by fans - Peter Johnson at Everton and he went on his own time.
"It is very hard for fans to drive an owner to go if he does not feel he has got the right price.
"Possession is nine-tenths of the law. They own the club. They hold all the cards."

Thanks mate, the Gillett bit doesn't suprise me. I just hope they see sense and understand that the way they want to do it could cripple the club and devalue it. They need to go now with their small profit.
