DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[spider-neil]

Why would DIC buy 50% from GG and then sell 1% to Hicks????

so hicks wouldn't veto the process, pretty much like an out of court settlement

[pezzzer]

It's not surprising, unfortunately.

People like Anders Frisk have received death threats for a damn sight less than dragging the good name of a famous football club through the mud.

What's interesting is yet more communication from Gillett. I don't think it is a coincidence that George has loosened his tongue as Hicks has exercised his veto. And if he really is unwilling to sell his 1% to Hicks, it can only mean that, as reported, DIC would buy Gillett's 50% and sell 1% on to Hicks.

agreed, but theres no way dic would sell a percent to hicks, they want him out as much as we do.

Doesn`t hicks have 90 days to buy out GG before he loses his veto.Surely GG can sell his shares after the 90 days if he wants to.

Looks like GG has made his mind up and told Hicks to swing for the 1% and will sell up to DIC all of his 50%. At least he knows how much the club would be screwed if Hicks gets control. I am sure GG is now hitting back at the fat Texan for blocking his sale. But he and DIC have to do is sit back for 3 months and if hicks can match dic then all they have to do is top up their offer say 10 15 million more and add a few sweeteners on. Hicks is ****ed as the US banks are going to the federal reserve and no one in their right mind is going to buy into a none us sports team and also have no say in it's running.

yep, thats why he is running around trying to find some fool backer before his time limit runs out and DIC are sitting pretty.

again dic's silence speaks volumes

I wonder how many of the 90 days are left????

I am guessing about 70 or 60 as the bid was made a few weeks ago

im guessing that the ticker would of started when gg informed kop holdings of his wish to sell, they would then inform hicks who would then initiate the veto and that would of all happend the same day.

as for how long ago that happend it must be at least a month? but with gg out of the frame for much longer than that it could of happend long before but with a media blackout allowing hicks to be out of the limelight whilst looking for funding, so maybe its nearly up

I just hope it doesn`t drag on and effect the next transfer window.

just maybe the 90 day time limit(if there is 1) is closer to being up than we think.the dic story has been around for a couple of months now maybe the bid was put in back then.the leaked letter a week ago mentioned hicks having a previous meeting with dic and also the future meeting(the one that took place on monday 10march).it was said hicks was looking for other investers a month back.and now in the last ferw days gg has started talking in public and dic are silent maybe the end is closer that we think

Hopefully.

agreed

hicks will know by now if he can get the finances for gg's shares or not (defo not) now its just up to DIC to either sell hicks 1% so he will lift the veto (which is proberbly what the meetings were about) or wait the 90 days and buy out gg's 50%.

thats the only gamble in my opinion and the reason hicks has been talking to dic.

so dic can buy 49% now but have hicks in charge OR wait until the veto lifts chancing that hicks cant raise the required moneys to buy gg out.

hicks is just stalling now imo.

a time of due dilligence? maybe the end is nigh?

Can see DIC waiting for Hicks to find a replacement for GG and then outbidding them.In the end GG will sell to the highest bidder.Why would DIC sell Hicks 1% now instead of waiting to see if Hicks can find a replacement.DIC have time on their hands while Hicks is in a pickle.

Death threats?

That's such a Manc thing to do...so classless, so small-time. Shameful.
