DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[Jayesh87]

Milkman do you think Barret may have been told to keep hush, so their isnt a big thing if gillet hadnt of signed, i know the echo do normally break this sorts of things but i just feel we may here more tomorow as well hopefully from the echo.

No i don't.

The site that broke the story is 'full of ****' imo.

But we live in hope, ey?!

I reckon so.
It is in the process.....these things take time, but most likely, it will happen.

This is the internet. That will never happen. Lets go crazy and get wound up by something that may or not be true. Its what we do best.

Strange days. Rarely have we seen a rumour this persistent. There has to be something about it in some weird way.

So what do we know?

1) DIC will have to pay over the top to get the club. They seem prepared to do so according to the grapevine.

2) DIC will not buy the club unless they get 100% control. Anything else makes no sense and I just don't believe it for one second.

3) Gillett seems to be the one pushing with all his might for an exit. We must assume that he can't afford to carry on.

4) Hicks is in a position where he could end up making more money than Gillett. He apparently doesn't need an exit as bad as Gillett. He has to be careful though. If he overplays his cards he could end up getting burned.

A thought:

Is it possible that Hicks and DIC are both trying to buy out Gillett?

That would explain the thundering silence from Gillett for so long. Kraft could be his new partner?

the company itself will still have the same 'Articles' which goven how the company is run. my guess is that Gillett got pissed off with how it was going then may have had to offer his shares to Hicks first.

When he couldn't afford to buy him out, he became free to offer them to DIC.

The fact that DIC are now possibly coming in, won't affect how the company that owns LFC runs, so any first option or 'pre-emption' on shares that are in the Company Articles will still apply

If an agreement has been reached it will be an agreement in principle (nothing will have been signed yet)

There will follow a period of due dilligence which will take 2 - 4 weeks, I know DIC only did due dilligence last year but since then we have new contracts with players, new loans, new sponsorship etc.. and lets face it the current owners arent exactly to be relied on to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Normally something will leak out about due dilligence but it probably wont be confirmed by any of the parties involved because of confidentiality agreements etc..

And besides we're still 100+ pages short of the other DIC thread

Kraft seems too honorable a partner for Hicks

He needs to find someone like Dick Dastardly to compliment his personality

[DomL]

Yeah agree

Gordon Gecko would complement Hicks."Greed is good".
