Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[tomasjj]

problem with that is the timeline doesn't compute. Hicks and Gillette talked to Klinsmann before Rafa started leaking the stories and blurting about concerntrating on coaching.

Aye, this is also true.
So they had it in for Rafa before his famous outburst in November probably.

"People are worried that I might take money away from the Texas Rangers to go to Liverpool," Hicks said.

"But it is just the reverse. Liverpool is going to throw off lots of extra money which, if I choose to, I can use for the Rangers or the Dallas Stars ice hockey team."

i honestly cant support a club who is owned by the man who said this.

I wish people wouldn't say things like this. It is just stupid and you don't mean it.

The way I see it, it was said in the USA to local press there and we don't know whether they had been running headlines such as 'Hicks to take money from Dallas Cowboys (or whatever they're called) now he's bought Liverpool!' And maybe there was a fan's outrage there and he just wanted to clear the air about it and give the average day bob fan over there an explanation that their club wouldn't suffer rather that it 'could' be the other way round.

Come of it, mate. However supporters may feel about certain things going on the one thing that's consistent is that no matter who plays, manages or owns the club Liverpool Football Club is still the team we support.

As has been said a thousand times...no individal is bigger than the club.

[kurtangle01]

Can people stop sending abusive emails to G&H. There is constructive contact underway and any silly stuff will be divisive.

Not asking you to name names, Al, but what do you mean by this? Constructive contact between G&H and supporters groups?

[chadrtc]

I think it's fair to say that it's over...for the time being at least.

Carefull mate, that looks alot like speculation and you know we're not supposed to do that around these parts.

thats all well and good mate.
but do you still think youll feel the same way after the 2 clowns sack rafa in the summer,after they fail to provide enough cash for transfers,after mashcer leaves,after we fail to challenge for the title again?

God I wish this could be put to bed coz I'm bored ****less with all this takeover talk. It's diminishing my appetite for the game and our club.

BUT you have to consider why Rafa decided to play the game and spread rumours. That was because the owners went back on their promises when they took over. He called their bluff, and they didn't ****ing like it!

You have to hand it to him. How many other managers would have just kept on taking their salary home and silently sought an escape route?

Aye, it's like wading throught ****.

This thread has become almost as painful as the issue (or, depending on your perspective, lack thereof) behind it.

This is why I'm not getting too worried about ths point. If he took money out of either club I'm positive he wouldn't put it into another, just keep it. The whole LFC supporting another Hicks team is not realistic.
