DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[wavydavy]

From some fella on RAWK. Confirmation of sorts...

"Jimmy Melia's family still live, just off Scottie(St Anthony's Parish) and i know for a million % certainty that Melia was approached by Hicks/His Family to be flown over here on a Private Jet, to go on a "Charm Offensive" to promote Hicks in a better light,Melia was concerned that he would have little effect/impact on the younger Generations of Liverpool fans."

He was ****ing spot on! You would have to be a total tit not to see through the events of the past week for what they are.

in all honesty,who the **** is jimmy melia,never heard of the guy in my life,the ****ing cheek of him to pop up out of the woodwork and comment on the situation like his opinion means anything.

is this what it has come to,some no mark has an opinion and it gets air time.

I heard that Kraft is going to buy 35% of Hicks's shares by noon a week on thursday, and that Steve Morgan is also involved in a minor role with Kenny Dalglish taking over as CEO, and Mourinho being lined up as manager as of this summer. The only stumbling block is that Mike Jeffries of L4 doesn't want to give up his shareholder rights by jumping in bed with Steve Morgan. That's why DIC are struggling in their negotiations with Gillett, and why David Dein isn't happy with the situation having been keen on the CEO job himself.

Or something like that.

Either way Parry is ****ed.

steve morgan cannot have any involvment in liverpool because he owns wolves.and i doubt dalglish has the know how to be a ceo at a multi million pound company.

You're American, right?

Don't worry, Alanis Morissette didn't really get it either...and she's Canadian.

Fairly instrumental role to play in the early years under Shankly, so hardly a no mark :


"Raised in the Scotland Road area of Liverpool as one of 11 children, inside forward Melia joined the Anfield ground staff straight from school as a 15-year old in 1953. He turned professional the following year and made his senior debut in the old Second Division in December 1955, scoring in a 5-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

His best season's goal haul was 21 from 40 outings in 1958-59 and he was well established when Bill Shankly arrived the following December to revolutionise Anfield fortunes. Melia won a Second Division championship medal in 1962, scoring 12 goals as a 42-game ever present.

Two years later he helped Liverpool land the League title for the first time since 1947, his talents recognised by two England caps following Schoolboy, Youth and Football League appearances. But the emergence of Alf Arrowsmith cost Melia his Liverpool place and after scoring 78 goals in 287 senior games he joined Wolves for £50,000 in March 1964, later joining Southampton and becoming player manager of Aldershot and Crewe and boss of Southport, prior to working in the Middle East and America.

His managerial highpoint came in 1983 when, gaining national recognition wearing eye-catching white shoes, he led Brighton to the FA Cup Final, inflicting a stunning fifth round home defeat on Bob Paisley's mighty champions Liverpool en route. But after going desperately close to beating Manchester United at Wembley the game ended 2-2 and Melia's relegated side lost the replay 4-0. Melia later managed Portuguese club Beleneses and Stockport before coaching in Texas."

a joke I hope.

Melia should be ashamed of himself. Plain to see the Yanks aren't good for us and he's kissing their ass. Hicks should have asked someone like Molby to do the job...would have been more honest

tbf, how ever mr melia is rememberd in lfc folklore he's still sold out to hicks for the price of a luxury jet flight home and some hospitality.

why the hell should a 70 year old be ashamed of himself for having an opinion different to yours? have a little respect for your elders. It matters not that your may disagree. THIS is the problem with today.

Because he is talking nonsense. Kissing Hicks' arse and making him look good. Glad it wasn't the main story in the Echo
