Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[GordonGecko]

We're they chanting "you lying *******s, get out of our club"?

sounds to me like Setanta have turned down their pitch side microphones

LOUD & CLEAR just a minute ago!!

Some right prats on this forum. Rash and Tom have been coming in for some unfair criticism on this forum. Rash just gets a hard time because he's Rash. Wish people would chill the fcuk out. If you don't think the takeover is going to happen, don't read this thread. FFS it's so irritating to see people come on here and say we're all dreaming and Rash and Tom are talking ****. Koptalk was riddled with people like this.

Rash, Tom, thanks for the updates on the takeover. Keep them coming. I for one look forward to your updates

I am with you on this one - I for one have appreciated them coming with the info they got. Might not always be correct, but who is anyway?

LOUD & CLEAR just a minute ago!!

Think it's "you yank *******s, get out of our club"

May be wrong though, en it

[Darkon]

they showed a banner saying "if it ain't broke don't hicks it" - made me laugh

[JohnDoe]

I liked the "1 DIC is better than two" banner.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Can hear the chants pretty clearly on the telly.

[Helios Creed]

but will HICKS take the bait? Not convinced. It's gonna have to be a bloody big carrot.

The bait is a carrot? Ah, you're trying to catch a jackass.

[Armchairkopite]

The Anfield faithful are doing us proud this evening.

This is strange. On my tv the crowd chants are audibly low, certainly compared to the commentary.

missed that one.

Well obviously.

It would defeat the purpose of having commentators if you couldn't hear them.

Nov 11th 2007....

DALLAS — Forbes.com recently came out with their list of NHL franchise values and economic outlooks, and the Stars come in as the #5 most valuable franchise overall, trailing just Toronto, New York, Detroit and Montreal. According to the report, the Stars are worth approximately $254 million.

Despite this, Tom Hicks does not get any love from the writers at Forbes, who had this to say:

It is a good thing Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks is a billionaire. Otherwise, he might not survive the mess he has made of the Dallas franchise. The team, which owns 50% of American Airlines Center, is saddled with $200 million in debt (the team's holding company, Southwest Sports, defaulted on $135 million of debt four years ago), a high payroll, and an under-performing team that can't make it past the first round of the playoffs. The natives have clearly gotten restless, illustrated by sagging ticket sales and waning interest in the Dallas market for the Stars. In the face of this Hicks has actually increased the team's marketing staff to boost ticket sales. What he really needs is a better product.

They were singing

Oh when the Yanks, Oh when the Yanks
**** off Home
**** off Home
Oh when the Yanks **** off Home
I wanna be in that number
Oh when the Yanks **** off Home

That one didt really take off tho, but i cant seei t growing in the future unless things get sorted.

Tom, I have taken stick and will take even more if this doesn't happen but i have been talking about DIC being back in for months. But in the past two weeks Hicks has openly courted DIC but says the opposite in public. That's why I am certain my blokes are right, it is just a matter of days. He who blinks first basically.

Dont know if this has been posted before but its from the guy on the football.co.uk forums.

"Well Ben - You will be nicely surprised then.

Very Happy

Hicks doesnt hold all the aces with this.

He has problems every which way he turns.

With the Banks, George Gillett, the board, Benitez, the fans - Almost everyone you can think of.

There is definately substance to this story.

How it all plays out will be interesting to watch."

Rash and Tom i think its time to lay the cards out on the table and tell all, because this is becoming a big ****ing mess! it can't get any worse at the present rate.

Sounds like Liverpool with Hicks at the helm in 5-6 years time.
