DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[kopdan]

Sickening, if this is allowed to happen. Hicks would be the most hated man in sport...

but why?

What has Hicks done wrong apart from admit to talking to another manager?

So far, under the two new owners, we have:

Submitted plans for a great stadium
Broken our club transfer record
Allowed Rafa a decent sized kitty for other players
Tied our best players up to new longer contracts

So as far as I can see, the fans have only really the comments about Rafa to hold a grudge for.

But lets face it, Rafa is hardly sitting top of the league and in all major cup competitions is he.

Are the fans backing the wrong horse?

Just putting that out there

Great another chance for that fat cun*t to put more debt on the club. Surely the banks cant lend him anymore money,he's up to his eyeballs in debt.

Its been well documented that he has lied repeatedly about important issues.Youre taking the piss arent you?

[kopdan]

not really no

I'm jut trying to understand Rashid's statement

As well as trying to understand the situation at the club.

What has he lied about out of interest?

[Sarb]

but why?

What has Hicks done wrong apart from admit to talking to another manager?

So far, under the two new owners, we have:

Submitted plans for a great stadium - What's the point if they have no money?
Broken our club transfer record - All payed for with debt on the club
Allowed Rafa a decent sized kitty for other playersNot from their own pockets
Tied our best players up to new longer contractsWho's that then?

So as far as I can see, the fans have only really the comments about Rafa to hold a grudge for. How about the blatant lies about not wanting to put debt on the club but then doing so

But lets face it, Rafa is hardly sitting top of the league and in all major cup competitions is heRafa should go too. Ain't good enough in the league

Are the fans backing the wrong horse? No. Want the fat cunt out asap. Lying *******
Just putting that out there

[Sarb]

not really no

What has he lied about out of interest?

Not following a Glazer model but then loading debt on the club. Don't get much bigger than that

[kopdan]

fair enough.

But most hated man in sport? As Rashid put it

[Sarb]

I think he's up there for being a stubborn ******. No one wants him here yet he's on about buying outright. At the same time he's talking to DIC as well. On the one hand he wants to sell on the other he mouths off about buying outright

How can anyone trust a word that comes out of his fat mouth?

Kopdan I'm sure you were on a wind-up saying they're not so bad. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

[Fowler_God]

but why?

What has Hicks done wrong apart from admit to talking to another manager?

So far, under the two new owners, we have:

Submitted plans for a great stadium That there this isnt the money to pay for
Broken our club transfer record That would have happened with Moores incharge
Allowed Rafa a decent sized kitty for other players £25mill Net? same as any other summer, plus it was paid for by a loan
Tied our best players up to new longer contracts
Plus you forgot to add, now £300mill in debt with £30mill a year interest payments, then in 18months time it will then become £600mill to pay for the stadium, which mean £60mill interest payments - Yeah they ****ing rule them Yanks do.

[kopdan]

dont believe you about the Moores comment to be honest.

I'm not saying the Yanks rule either. I want DIC to come in. BUT

I didnt agree with Hicks being the most hated man in sport....all sport by all sports fans.

[sonsofthedesert]

Only thing I would argue there is the bit about the long term contracts, Gerrard, ALonso, Reina and Carra all signed new long term contracts so he is right.

no, not a wind up. I think he's been a tit in the press but I do think a lot of the abuse thrown at him is because he dared upset the fan's precious Rafa.

I dont know the ins and outs of the stadium or the finance deal and have to rely on press reports which may be inaccurate or not.

just like you and the next person that thinks i'm on a windup

Ok I couldn't remember.

An interesting question would be if we went to them today with a new contract offer, how many of them would sign it?

[Sarb]

no, not a wind up. I think he's been a tit in the press but I do think a lot of the abuse thrown at him is because he dared upset the fan's precious Rafa.

I'm not against him because of the Rafa situation as Rafa hasn't done himself any favours either in terms of results, comments and performances.

Hicks is a liar simple as that. He's arrogant and talks ****. For those reasons I want him out. I'd rather Gillett owned us 100% if anything as i think he's been the victim of a dirty-tricks campaign by Hicks

[Steve101]

I'm jut trying to understand Rashid's statement..............you've been around long enough to know better me old matey!! Mans a knob, simple as that (rash that is, not hick, well maybe both, not sure!) It's good that your asking the questions that need to be asked though, as usual. keep it up.
