Thanjk you.

Some stuff from This.is.Anfield on F365. He is in dubai and has said before that he has contacts in DIC.
Talks still going on this morning in London. DIC are very close to buying out G's 50% - G's asking for a bit more money now but has made it very clear he wants to sell.
Hicks wants him to sell 49% to DIC and 1% to him as reported yesterday but the interesting thing is there's nothing in the clause agreed between them two that says G has to sell to H - unless H's buying the full 50%. As I was told earlier the 'veto' powers that Hicks was being reported to have (which the media was going on about yesterday) is bollocks - He cannot dictate who G sells to, and unless he can match the other party's offer there's nothing he can do to stop DIC buying the 50% now and then forcing him out. If that happens, he knows he will not be in a bargaining position and due to the current financial climate in the US, he will have to sell. DIC can play the waiting game but they know Hicks cannot - he's already losing money in the US.
What may happen is that Hicks might see some sense and at the last minute (before G signs the dotted line) sell his 50% to the DIC while he still can get some decent profit out of this. If he doesn't, Gillett will sign anyway and DIC will wait hicks out.
One last thing - DIC are running out of patience fast.
Lets hope we have something to cheer about today rather than the planned mass protest after the game / during halftime.
Just recieved a text update about 15 mins ago saying that lawyers from Gillett and DIC's side are trying to work a way around Hicks as DIC want this wrapped up by tomorrow - likely to go on until monday however.
I have no idea what 'working a way arond hicks' means to be honest. Probably to do with whatever agreements G & H had between themselves.
I can't say much - but somehow I've ended up with two more sources (top journalists) who've contacted me and confirmed that me source is spot on Surprised
I'm sure you'd understand if I can't reveal any names. Will keep you lot posted. Its looking good though.
Its..erm.. someone very well connected
something that I should've mentioned earlier but forgot.
The 2 journo's I mentioned earlier in the thread (who shall remain unnamed for now) - one of them got a call at 3am from DIC just to tell him that they're confident it'll all be wrapped up very soon.
Journo mate if you're reading this - i aint disclosing your name so unless you print it in the papers that it was you who got the 3am call, nobody's gonna know mate. Ta.

On awaiting Everton's arrival for a derby game at Anfield, Bill Shankly gave a box of toilet rolls to the doorman and said: "Give them these when they arrive – they'll need them!"
