DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[DannyMan2006]

Can we rely on this bitch?

**** yeah.

At last a rival to Karen Brady

[spider-neil]

Ok, this Sheik is worth what, £8 billion? If so, why dont he just chuck in an extra £100 million?

Just fecking do it Sheiky!!!

the DIC aren't going to pay over the odds because they are an investment company, therefore they wont pay much more than a company is worth because it will set a president which will make aquiring companies in the future more difficult as companies will demand more money, a bit like chelsea going for players, they wont be able to buy cheaply again.

Why cant they just not disclose the full details of the deal?

Hicks will be the sole owner of the club by the end of this month whether we like it or not anyway.

He's a stubborn fella and DIC wont pay the money he wants so that's that, imho.

He has ideas that we'll be worth £1bn in a few years and he's basing his valuation of the club on future potential by the look of things. DIC are obviously basing their valuation on the club as it is now.

I can't see either budging from their current position and we just have to accept whatever happens unfortunately.

I think you are spot on

Defiant Hicks rejects £400m takeover bid by persistent Arabs
By COLIN WOOD and IAN LADYMAN

The struggle for ownership of Liverpool intensified last night with Dubai International Capital considering an improved bid after apparently failing with a £400million offer.

..............

Are you for ****ing real AFII?

Am I reall y expected to believe a story wrote by two ****s with names like that?

[spider-neil]

Why cant they just not disclose the full details of the deal?

not sure.
the MAIN question is when the bid was made, was it today or weeks ago because once the bid is made hicks has 90 days to match the bid or gillett can sell without his consent.

but worryingly if hicks DOES find the money gillett then can only sell to hicks or keep his shares in his pocket as hicks has first refusal.

It's not just about dic anymore. The MAN has spoken

As a senior partner in PCP, a London-based private equity firm, she has been instructed to lead negotiations with Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the club's owners, and, according to sources, has been told by Sheikh Mohammed to “get it done”.

More from CTR....

2 weeks ago a deal was settled, but a seller attached more conditions, back to talks... and so on. But the men I talk to tell me that there is still a mood to sell up, and DIC are very determined to go 100%.

n fact, what my men tell me is a bit at variance with the press... apparently both 'sellers' are keen, but one is giving out signals and the other is silent. If what I'm told is correct, both are happy to sell, but going about their business in different ways; and the press may not have correctly identified who the stumbling block really is.

Why does this tit insist on talking in Koptalk-like riddles?

[DannyMan2006]

Aint it funny how he reveals this after all the details have been in the press.

I must admit I was believing what he was saying before, but he just seems to change his story to suit what the press are saying.Nothing wrong with that, after all, that could be what is actually happening.

I just find it suprising that this "insider" is commenting on stuff that is already apparent.

The press hasn't said that Gillett is the problem.

[DannyMan2006]

The press hasn't said that Gillett is the problem.

so is he saying that Tom Hicks has agreed and Gillet is the problem?

Or is he just saying that Gillet is a problem and Hicks is a bigger problem?

[Craig_H]

He's saying nothing really - which means he can spin what he was saying after he sees what happens.

[wiw]

Going to bed now. *prays for good news in the morning*

Keep the dodgy insider info coming

[AFII]

and the press may not have correctly identified who the stumbling block really is.

The press have said that Hicks is the problem.
