Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[sonsofthedesert]

Another poster on here stated the reason DIC want Liverpool is as a vehicle to promote Dubai as a tourist destination. They see tourism as a vital revenue stream especially when the oil runs out. There is probably no value you could put on this. So 500m could seem like money well spent to DIC.

That was AFII.

It would take him a long time to get a £75m profit on us if they don't sell us.

Neither of those ****s deserve to make a penny from our club.

John Motson just said live on Football Focus that his sources tell him that the DIC bid is real and they're waiting for a response from G&H.

The bastion of knowledge that is John Motson has just confirmed on Football Focus that the bid IS 'real' and that's 'fact'.

What do you predict? Oh great one

I predict that Foster Gillett will be abused for 90 minutes at the Villa game. I also predict that the fans may well have a huge part to play in persuading the Yanks to accept a bid. Whatever it takes, it has to be done.

It's touch and go. Could really go either way but I haven't heard anything for a couple of days.
It really depends own whether Hicks thinks the short-term profit he'll gain from the buy out, is a better bet than any long term profit projections he has for his crafty schemes with the club. If it's the latter then he wont sell. Simple as really. Hicks couldn't give a monkeys about not being popular. He's loathed in all the sports "franchises" he owns. I even think hre revels in it.

But I don't think LFC can survive with the way they want to re-finance us

[Lecter]

Al answari is personally on very good terms with Rick Parry. Unfortunately for Parry, DIC aren't that impressed with him as an executive. Total clear-out top to bottome will be the order of the day. May even include the manager - though that last part is pure speculation.

Rafa wont be jettissoned from what I've heard

sounds promising he said fact so it must be true

[thekop]

These two *******s come over here - **** with our club, our manager and generally cause chaos and then walk away with £75m each.

If that what it takes to get rid of those two pricks, then so be it,

The demo planed for Monday night SHOULD be the tipping stone to get the c*nts out of here

Yanks out, Yanks out

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Amen lets hope this happens before the Summer

They are building Dubai to be the Paradise on earth. They get the companies to move there, the rich people have a house there, people want to see the Paradise on earth.

Makes good long term business sense.

[Shanks65]

Potentially great news then. Fingers crossed.

As has been said before: "BBC Sport Understands" is only used when the beeb have heard something concrete.

So come on G&H, take the feckin money lads!

[carrsim]

So as a season ticket holder (ok share it with my bro) there will be 1 less game a season to go.

or save some pennies and have a jolly up in one of the major resort cities of the world

its only 5 or 6 hours from the UK

not saying it will happen, just that IF its mooted, it sure is a good way to promote Dubai as a tourist destination.

Singapore has just bought an F1 race from Bernie for the same reasons.
