Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[Lecter]

When Hicks and Gillett first bought Liverpool, I raised an eyebrow at their pledge not to raise the finance against the clubs assets. You think is is inevitable now, I thought it was inevitable then.

The point is that they made that pledge and I don't give a monkeys whether or not their intentions were/are good.

The moment our owners, whoever they are, start breaking explicit promises like that is the moment I want nothing more to do with them. And any chance of winning me round evaporated when they undermined the manager's position and scaled down the stadium plans.

In reality what they have done wrong is broken the mutual trust that has always been there between the fans and the board

Finances was never an issue with Moores because he was trusted, he never said he would do something and not follow through with it

Bottomline is they came out and promised a number of things on takeover day and they have committed the cardinal sin of not only not following through on some of those promises but doing a complete about turn on others

People talk about the Liverpool Way and above all else it has been based on mutual trust and togetherness in the face of adversity

Hicks has breached both of those and its going to take something special to claw himself out of this sh!thole hes dug for himself

I read today that he's prepared to ride it out until the fans have calmed on the issue...he's not done his homework, has he?

His cards are marked and there's no way he can win the trust of the fans back.

I think enema of the state is Foster Gillett.

What the **** are you going on about mate? Some of what you are saying is absolutely ridiculous (Rafa still being here - well, his position looks totally solid doesn't it? The signings of Torres and Babel - and who do you think is going to be lumbered with their transfer fees? You think the Yanks are going to pay for them? Deluded.) and you come across as having some sort of pro-American agenda.

Ignoring all the signs then?

Just ignoring fruitless speculation while waiting for facts.

[AFII]

If Hicks want a full scale war with the fans then he will get one if he don't sell up. We will never give up until he is gone.

He is a total ****house that only cares about one thing, money. He won't care about our protest but we will continue with them anyway. The Dallas and Texas fans want to get rid of him but so far he hasn't cared even a little bit about what the fans want as long as he can make a profit.

If he need to sell some of our best players to get that profit then he will do that. The brand Liverpool FC will be strong so it won't lose that much value.

He stripped Corinthinans of all their assets and then bankrupted the company that took care of them.

He will do whatever it takes to make a profit.

[Johnny]

what do you mean assuming the worst?

its not speculation that the club is on the verge of being ladened with debt,its true mate,its pretty bleak. Like the Glazers did with ManU.

how much better can it get than it is at the moment? It is speculation that DIC are flying in tomorrow to make a bid for 50 or 100%.

As I said,I`ll Wait and see before reacting.I could end up thinking exactly the same as you,i`ll just reserve judgement until all the FACTS are in.

i dont think any way mate,im like you in fact,im waiting to see what happens,in fact i think nothing is gonna happen,im not holding out for DIC to come and rescue us.

but at the moment things are pretty bleak,and thats all down to H&G,the facts are there.

why are you waiting to reserve judgment on them when they have already ****ed up to such an extent?

Until that statement from Hicks I was part of the wait and see group and just thought it was all press **** but the Hicks statement was a step too far and I wish they were not in charge.

[kopdan]

still havent heard back from DIC to the people I told on here by the way

[Rafa Shankly]

Like the Glazers did with ManU.

mate your not stupid,you know why its different for us,you should do in any case

it is speculation that DIC are flying in tomorrow to make a bid for 50 or 100%.

which will turn out to be untrue or turned down.

As always Lec, a pretty much spot on post.

The stadium announcement?

That was just amateurish. Do your ****ing homework boys and get your budget right.

Regarding Klinsmann????
