    DIC or Share Liverpool?

    I'm curious what people want once the Tom & George show leaves town (if indeed it does).

    I saw a banner in the Kop at the end of the game that read DIC for LFC which I must admit made me a bit queasy.

    It struck me as distasteful for us to be begging some corporation whose plans we have little knowledge of to come and take us over, especially given that if they're horrendous owners (who knows?) that they're so rich that we'll be absolutely stuck with them.

    Given that the Share Liverpool project is up and running, it seems odd to be begging them in while there is a possibility that a huge swathe of our supporters could collectively own the club.

    I'm going to stick my colours to the mast and say that I don't want DIC, I want Share Liverpool.

    What are people's thoughts?

      why do you think share liverpool will be a better option than DIC?

      oh and id prefer DIC,simply because i honestly think share liverpool wont get off the ground,and i just dont know enough about their plans.

        Share LFC all the way.

        Nobdy else to blame if it doesn't work, we'd be accountable to ourselves.

        The way all clubs should be.

        Don't trust these arabs one bit, just like the Yanks, wolves in sheeps clothing.

        All this clamouring for them is, quite frankly, pathetic.

          I can't see how there is any harm in seeing if ShareLFC get's off the ground and I would want to see it tried - OK maybe the odds aren't good but what do we lose by trying, people don't try enough.

          IF it could work I would prefer it but I prefer DIC to the yanks so whichever comes sooner I guess.

            I would have to say DIC - there would maybe be too many personal feelings involved with the club ran by proper fans , not a bad thing but it could be a case of the heart ruling the head in some situations.

              DIC for me as they are some of the best and most respected buissness men in the world who know how to run a company and get the most out of it. Also say Share LFC do raise the 500 million to buy us then what? Where is the money for the players we could afford under dic, Where is the money for the stadium and who will pay the loan off?

              I'm sorry but the way the club is at the mo we need a big cash injection ala Chavski even to make ends meet at the mo

                Just gauging opinion, as to whether people here want self ownership and self control or benevolent dictatorship (but with the risk of being locked into hostile dictatorship).

                I take it that those opposed to self rule oppose Sons of Shankly too, as they state that self rule is their ultimate aim too.

                Personally I'd opt for the former. If we don't like something, we can change it. That's the big advantage of self rule.

                And if we get something wrong then its our fault - and then our task to sort it out.

                  what makes you think it would run that smoothly though,what makes you think it wouldnt be a major disaster?

                  im not saying that what i think will happen,im just saying,just because wed all be fans doesnt mean its gonna work out ok.

                  G&H didnt set out to be such a disaster.

                    Bollocks i am sick ofour club being left behind by the manc's, Chavs and gooners. We are in a scrap for 4th ffs with neverton, citeh and villa. If we have a chance to get DIC who make roman look poor then why not. I cannot see DIC screwing us over as they have wanted us and put too much effort in for too long now. If they wanted to make a hugh profit no way would they invest in a football team.

                    I know i might get **** for this i would like nothing more than this great club to be run by us fans but the mancs are 2 titles behind us and we look like we couldn't challange for the league for a long time yet. I say let DIC have us and turn us into the biggest football power on the planet (again) and start to open up the leauge title gap again as letas face it every red's fan's worst nightmare could come true in a few years. (The mancs get NO 19 before us and go on from there

                    How does this sound people?

                      In an idealised world I would like the Share idea. It has a lot going for it. In reality it really depends on the quality of the people who rise to become the leaders of such a collective and on what standard of people become involved in the decision making processes.

                      I think that the fact that DIC obviously seem to have top people associated with them and considerable funds as backup to ensure that the financial side should never be ruinous just about nudges them into the lead at present but more information on the ShareLFC system and membership could easily sway me.

                      Maybe a combination of the two would be a good compromise with ShareLFC having strong input at board level and a policy of openness which would help to protect the interests of the supporters.

                            Certainly a possibility.
