Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[CAD]

And all this nonsense about them being "businessmen" etc, just wait and see. They will spend like drunken sailors.

And I bet the Sheik has told you this in person

[sinbad]

That's why i think that there is a good deal of this going through. Woulnd't bid again if they didn't think there was a strong possibility that their bid would be accepted

wouldn't put it past the cunt Hicks to invite them to make an offer, then turn them down.

The stadium I am scared to thing what it will look like going by the buildings built by the Sheikh in Dubai.

It might well end up being in the middle of the Irish sea...

Yeah but he hasn't come across Liverpool City COuncil has he?

[Jayesh87]

What's Al Jazeera sayin then Rash? Do you think Hicks has told them he's willing to sell and will we get new owners do you feel?

Your asking alot of questions today mate

Rash claims Al Jazeera were the first source to say DIC were back in for us and that DIC are refusing to comment on the stories today.

He also claims SheikMoWhatsHisName said 'Get me Liverpool'

Got a problem with that?

It's cos I want to right a good story for the paper tomorrow morning

I think I have been on this story for weeks.. and taken loads of flak so cut me some slack. DIC want in and it's just a matter of agreeing a price.

Agreeing a price is surely subject to the Americans grasp on reality? Or has this thing further down the line than anyone knows (bar the Americans and DIC that is).

I wasnt given enough specifics to name Al Jazeera, but i was told that Arabic tv broadcasters have been reporting that Hicks was the catalyst for DIC's bid.

[Fowler_God]

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.

I can see that being a point, but it would be cheaper to fly to the moon and stick a great big **** off sign on it that said 'Visit Dubai'. That way everyone in the world every night would see it.

hasn't that been the problem all along? Americans value to club at 1billion, DIC don't.

you know this how?

DIC exist for one purpose and that is to make money. now that oil money is going away and some say already gone, they need to create money to uphold it's society. thats what DIC is all about. and with the west not investing as much as they had hoped for in dubai the pressure is even more on dic to make profits on what they are doing..

I must admit, DIC's silence is Deafening on this, my only worry is will the Hick sell, i hope your %100 correct on this as i do Afii, & that LFC can once & for all TRUELY move onwards & upwards, right back to the very TOP, & Damn well stay there. No1 ON & OFF the field of play, mostly ON obviously.

It's right there, somewhere in the first 26 pages


middle of Feb I think

Cheers RC & CAD

I really don't hope we dont end up with egg on our faces in a few years time with all these potential D.I.C SOS banners. I really hope they do right by the club IF they do come in as new owners.

[shanks69]

Just on another point, if the Dubai lot get in, it'll see the end of Carlsberg *wipes tear*

hi 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.
