Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[andyhanrahan]

was he on the last word i'm going to listen to newstalk they always have info on things johhny giles usually does anyways

What Moores or Parry say , think ,or do, is by and large irrelevant. The decisions are made by Kop Football of which the 4 shareholders are Hicks , Gillet and their sons.

The only thing Moores and Parry can do is what they are told to do by the owners, if they dont like it then they know where the door is.

I imagine that if they are passing information to the press , then they will probably be gone from Anfield long before the Americans are.

But if the refinancing involves securing the debt against the assets of Liverpool FC, surely this would have to pass the Liverpool FC board?

Kop Football does not own Liverpool's assets.

Yeah, on the last word

[disco]

I’m with you mate, I think it is significant that Parry hasn’t spoken about this.

Putting it a different way, if Parry came out and said straight that the club/Americans hasn’t been approached or will not be considering any bids then we could put this to bed.

McManaman agrees

I'm confused now, then what did Kop Football buy ? Kop Football was the holding company set up by G&H to purchase the club .

[wavydavy]

Moores can console himself with the extra £8million he made.

This guy owes us all an explanation big time.

Actually, I don't know. I should probably shut up because I might be talking ****.

Totally disagree. RBS are about making money. They would have a product. There are allegedly potential buyers willing to part with serious money. If G&H fail they won't cry. You underestimate RBS Darren. They will auction us off and walk away with money. DIC will ensure they are well looked after.

Well, I've considered the option - probably even mentioned it - that DIC are influencing RBS's actions so totally agree with that.

But in the absense of a confirmed buyer I don't think banks would take the risk.
DIC could easily offer less than they're owed knowing that alternatively they would have to chase Hicks and Gillet or be stuck with a club they don't want to run, which could take a year to sell to a new buyer (other than DIC)

Ultimately all speculation though

Well, he had right a few weeks ago.

Your employers are doomed if you speculate (in a financial sense) like that.

I am now confident that the DIC or some variant of it will happen. Rash is right

What have you heard tom?

[dawmdt]

Exactly. The concept of DIC coming to London to talk to the RBS about the financing that exists with another client is frankly ridiculous.

Aye it is, doesn't mean they aren't talking about their own financial matters with regards to the same business.
