Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[Alpha]

No it isn't mate.

David Moores selling the club last year to foreign businessmen was unnerving, that's when we were stepping into the unknown.

This is just a continuation of that uncertainty.

Whatever.

You must see my point.

This time yesterday we weren't upto our eyeballs in debt.

[sonsofthedesert]

My plan is to hit them in the pocket by boycotting matches and merchandise. I accept that very few would be willing to do likewise, probably only an insignificant amount that would make no difference to G&H, but that's what I'll be doing. I'll still support my club, but I'll be doing it without giving the cowboys a penny. I'll be damned if I'll make financial contributions to the compensation they'll have to pay when they sack Rafa, and I'll be damned if I contribute towards paying off the debt they've gotten into by buying the club. They're not coming in, using our club as a door mat and expect me to pay for it and subsidise their American frnachises in the process. It's a matter of principle now, and a matter of the greater good.

I advise everyone on here to wake up and realise just what sneaky, slimy, greasy snakes these two are. Don't be taken in by the upcoming PR blitz and the big promises. These ****ers are wolves looking to fleece fans.

So your answer will be to further damage the thing you love.

It could be argued by some that this is why we are all so negative about it, one constant in our lives for years has been LFC and how it works, that has now changed and as a whole people don't like change.
Personally I just hate the way the yanks have treated the club.

Hopefully they have learned a few lessons over the last couple of weeks about what's expected of them and by that I don't mean putting their hand in their pocket to sign snoogy doogy. Hopefully they've learned about acting with a bit of dignity and quiet...Hopefully.

To be fair I don't think anyones jumping for joy at the news but, as you rightly say, we all want the best for the club and boycotting matches etc... isn't the way forward.

It is for me. I love the club but I'm not giving the yanks a penny. It wont make a difference anyway, as there'll always be people to fill the empty seats. I'd rather put the moneyh towards getting them out somehow.

You wont be wanting my Inter Milan spare then...

Interesting change in tone from Sky Sports.

Instead of 'H&G secure finance' a la 20 minutes ago, it's now 'more debt on the club'

**** stirring.

[redlancer]

Erm. If Hicks and Gillett do what Oliver Kay says they are going to do. Then that's pretty good isn't it?

Finance = sorted, with the purchase debt funded by their own cash and guarantees
Stadium = sorted, final plans unveiled and a definite building plan that we can afford
Rafa = despite past differences, he is totally backed from now on, and here's Mascher to prove it

Is there not a case for better the devil you know? DIC would be a leap into the unknown, and would still be interested in profit above all else. If our owners actually deliver on the above, then surely that should be about the best we could expect short of finding our own Abramovich with more money than sense?

Or is it just me?

They've pissed me off no end, but what are people seriously hoping for as a best case scenario here? For me it's the above. Does anyone really think the arabs are going to ride into town carrying camelfulls of cash to spend?

way i see it

what would happen if Dic came in didn't like the way Rafa was doing his job and got rid of him - would they get the same responce for doing the same thing

**** stirring.

I spotted that.

'Liverpool owners have put yet more debt on the club...'

**** stirring cunts.

It is for me. I love the club but I'm not giving the yanks a penny. It wont make a difference anyway, as there'll always be people to fill the empty seats.

So what does it achieve? Lets just say they have a plan to make LFC great again and to do this they need to build the stadium, sort out merchandising and get fans buying things. Before the plan got into full swing they ****ed up royally numerous times but after that the learned and went on. Would you be happy knowing that the plan didn't work because we all did what you suggest?

I know these guys are idiots, I don't want them near the club but if they intend on staying there is nothing we can do about it except hope their plan is as above.

You can always send money to DIC, with a letter explaining it 's only for being used if purchasing LFC. Kind of softening their blow when they have to pay silly money us

[Dhav]

You wont be wanting my Inter Milan spare then...

Well, technically I'd be giving my money to you, not the yanks

Seriously, I am considering a boycott, I really don't want to line their pockets. But what you've just done is illustrated just how hard that would be.

I'm sure we'll have plenty of people taking the bait....

how sure are you that they will sack Rafa

and now we're a buisness if you don't give your hard earned money you aint supporting sorry

You will only hurt yourself and the club. The yanks wont notice so what are you going to gain. Despite what they say 99.99% of fans will not boycot as they love the club - same as you.

You're not lining anyone's pockets until the club's making a profit. Can't see that happening for a few years....
