Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[sonsofthedesert]

That article makes for bad reading. They think they can get the money now for when the stadium is built but leave the new owners still needing to build the stadium?

True, many here are creaming thier pants over the prospect. Truth is, whoever buys the club will be buying it in order to make a return on thier investment.

The "Liverpool way" is gone, its the "owners way" now.

The honest truth is that the rot started in when clubs started floating on the stock exchange, and Sky came along with their football is entertainment/business mantra.

For a couple of hours a week, sometimes twice, I actually don't hate football, because when a Liverpool game isn't on I'm finding I just can't be arsed with it anymore.

And yet I'm on this bloody website.....go figure.

Because I trust the two seperate people that have told me.

Still think it is going through. This looks like it may not happen.

Agree with that 100 per cent , I have little time for the drama really, but cant keep away from this subject.

http://www.footballeconomy.com is a good read sometimes.

The times article doesen't look good if it is anything to go after... seems like the two parties are far from eachother unfortunatly. It however does not bring anything new to table as far as I can see, it is the same quotes and same info, just written in a more direct way by saying that they have rejected the initial informal bid...

I am however still waiting for something concrete saying it has gone one way or the other...

Getting pretty tired of this whole saga!!!

If someone said to me, right now, I can guarantee DIC will buy LFC and make them succesful but they wanted their own manager I would say fine, thank you very much.
Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Pointless having a brilliant manager if we are in the conference, skint eh.

Anyway, thats obviously a completely unrealistic situation cos those YANK CUNTS ARENT GONNA SELL US!! ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Not the case mate.

I think that scepticism is still prevalent, myself included.

It's just not the most important issue re our club at this time.

If he does go I would prefer it to be for the right reasons, not because Hicks wants him out of the door for standing up to him. Your natural loyalty starts to kick in - you can think what you like of your family but when someone else criticises them you close ranks.

Is it fairly safe to assume the following?

Hicks want £350m

DIC only want to pay £300m

The spirit starts to die after a bit with everything that is going on, not just with us but the whole sport. Filthy lucre eats away at it. Then again, players went out on the pitch for a pittance in the old days so I suppose it is not suprising it has gone completely the other way.

I would assume it is a bigger difference seperating the two... With their recent evaluation of 1 bill. I would say somewhere closer to 500 mill or so...

He could want £1bn all we know.

Is probably more like it where the greedy Texan and his short arse friend are concerned.

[Rashid]

I think Hicks wants £500M but is asking for £1Bn.

Tel you now, if he were asking for that then he will keep hold of the club and DIC will walk away for good.

[MascheredUp]

So where did Bascombe get the £350m figure from?

He also said it was signed and sealed.
