DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[Joe Le Toff]

Just shows that DIC isn't in this to make a profit. They simply won't get that kind of money back in the next 20+ years.

They want us to be their crown jewel and is ready to splash the cash.

Incredibly naive there mate

[dww]

I think they are all just DICing about at this stage.

Well, DIC won't be happy being second best. They want to be seen as winners.

Think big, think bigger and you will get the picture what they want.

You know whats gonna piss Hick's off even more - When we win the Champions League, can you imagine all the abuse he is gonna get when he is in Moscow / might not even come to the game.. And then our players celebrate with Al-Ansari and Staveley on the pitch...
PRICELESS..

NB : Yes we are gonna win the CL by the way.

[Skillz]

I think Hicks will get pretty much what he wants. MAybe not 500M but a lot.

Personally I don't care, the sooner we have one owner the better IMO. Especially if it is DIC, we might finally see a shovel when they have control.

Nah, the Sheik just wants us to be D ICing on his cake.

Yeah, i'll get my coat. Taxi!!

DIC confirm they are in talks with LFC:

"Talks are at an advanced stage, no price, stake % has been agreed".

This leaves all options open

Just been aired on SSN

DUBAI, March 10 (Reuters) - Dubai International Capital, an investment agency owned by the ruler of Dubai, said on Monday it is in advanced talks to buy a stake in Liverpool Football Club.

"Dubai International Capital confirms that it is in advanced discussions with the co-owners of LFC but that no agreement has been reached on price or shareholding percentage," DIC said in a statment.

The battle for control of Liverpool could be heading for resolution as the DIC is prepared to accept a 49 percent stake in the English Premier League club, the Daily Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The Daily Telegraph said the DIC, which has made a 400 million pound ($807.6 million) takeover offer for the Merseyside club, would consider sharing ownership with American co-owner Tom Hicks.

I reckon this is a couple of weeks away from resolution.

[DannyMan2006]

I reckon DIC will own 85% of LFC by the start of the game with Reading.

In My Opinion DIC have called Hicks bluff and he is back tracking at a fair rate of knots.

Hicks wants out of Liverpool, but wants to be covered in case DIC turn Liverpool into a super power. Same goes for Gillet, but I reckon he would be more willing to cash in his full stock now.

I really don't think he does, I think he sees massive profits in the future and depending on how DIC provide funding it solves his major problem of having to take on debt that he would have had problems servicing. This works out quite week for him. Posturing aside he has played a blinder.

I agree mate, he defneitley see's massive potential in us......who can blame him!

I dont know how hes going to persuade DIC to inject capital without him dilluting his holding or matching that financial outlay himself

So whilst I'm certain he can see the massive profits on the horizon its like the donkey and the carrot stick, just a bit out of reach

IMO for Hicks to realise his massive profits he will have to accede more control and possibly more of his stake OR pump in money himself
