Good news that the Yanks are possibly going.
But will the Arabs be any better?
People expecting them to spend like drunken sailors might be a tad disappointed. I'll be amazed if we see any ridiculous Kaka/Messi-esque signings.
Still wish there was a Scouser, even an actual die hard red, out there with the vision and financial nouse to take this club forward.
Being in the hands of businessmen who don't have the club truely at heart makes me nervous.
Anyway, Monday, let's send a message that we want them to go.I hate PolanskiComment

I obviously suspect Parry is a key go between in all of this, he will be telling DIC, if G & H, want to sell, and how much they would be wiling to accept.
I would also think G & H, would know of Parry's connections within DIC, given the Yanks previous record, I would say they could even try and play Parry to their advantage.
IMO, and knowing the history of LFC and takeovers, there are more twists in this story yet.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:

The money it'd cost them is about as valuable to them as a couple of 2p pieces i've got on my table right now.Originally posted by shanks69 View Posthi gang this i my 1st post on this paticular forum so be kind anyway here goes.
if this does come off, then maybe they will dump carlsberg which i doubt. i think they would just let the deal run out,then get someone else in.you can look at it 2 ways-
1)they get say sony who they have shares in or travellodge.
2)but that wouldn't make sense as they would be taking money from one of there interests to help another interest out.it would make more sense to get a firm they have no links with to sponsor the club.
Welcome to the forum.

Al Ansari would prob be the chairman right? He's not a scouser but he is a red. That's probably not enough for you, but it's very reassuring to me, especially when compared with Laurel and HardyOriginally posted by CharlieMansonsSquint View PostWhite liquid in a bottle = Milk

Mate, I don't want irresponsible spending, although competive spending needs to occur. I also agree with your sentiment of a minted local who fully appreciated the history and prestige of the club.Originally posted by CharlieMansonsSquint View Post
However, all this public **** slinging needs to end. It's making us look god damn ridiculous. The Klinsmann statement, the money issues, the stadium fiasco the public spat with Rafa (although Rafa needs to take some responsibility for the "coaching my team" press meet and greet).
If it takes a new owner to do that, well then I'm all for it!A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.Comment

Yes possibly.Originally posted by Dhavlos View Post
But isn't one of them a manc, named his horses after Rooney, Ronaldo, etc?
Right now I'd take a non-red businessman who'd run the club properly and let the footballing people get on with it.
Hopefully the DIC people will do this and it'll be beneficial for them and for us.
But I really don't get all this clamouring for them, admittedly they have much, much more financial clout than the Americans, but what if they come in and sack Rafa right away?
I wonder how people will react if they did something like that?
As I say I'm happy the Americans might be going, but I certainly don't see the Arabs as some sort of saviour.I hate PolanskiComment

i've noticed there have been a few post asking why they are willing to pay 500mil(if true) now but wouldn't out bid g&h last year.maybe they are also after the hks stadium plans as they have been approved by the council and the goverment aren't asking for an enquiry on the plans,therefore they could start building straight away.
who's arsed?
