Moores holds up Liverpool takeover

When Liverpool visited Birmingham last week for the Carling Cup there were two prominent absentees from their 'team'. Neither the chairman, David Moores, nor the chief executive, Rick Parry, was there.

It is unusual for either, particularly Moores, to miss a match. I am told that the reason for the absence was that they were in North America visiting George Gillett, the owner of the Montreal ice-hockey team, who wants to buy Liverpool.

Parry was recently in Dubai, and although the word was that he was there with his family over half-term, I understand he met Samir Ansari, head of Dubai International Capital, part of Dubai Holdings, who is a fervent Liverpool fan and is interested in buying the club. Parry, it seems, prefers Ansari to Gillett.

The supposed Liverpool takeover began two years ago with the then Thai prime minister expressing interest. He has since been toppled, is living in exile in London and has, incidentally, been spotted at Fulham matches.

There is no resolution and little word from Liverpool about what is happening. I am told that there are two sticking points.

One is that Moores gets depressed the moment Liverpool lose and thinks of selling, but then bucks up with a win and does not want to let go.

There is also the problem of how much any bidder would pay. Moores is valuing the club at £200million. Liverpool need another £200million for their new stadium. Add in some £30-£50million over the next few years for players and other costs and debts and you are soon looking at £500million.

Liverpool have big support overseas, but a bidder with such deep pockets would want to put much of that money into the club, not give it to Moores and the existing shareholders.

I understand Gillett told them that he might be willing to invest a total of £450m but would want much of it going into the club for the stadium and players, and would want to take full control and bring in his own people.

That, I am told, remains a sticking point for Moores.

Beat me to it!

Well if he doesn't sort something soon he's gonna be depressed for a long time to come

'One is that Moores gets depressed the moment Liverpool lose and thinks of selling, but then bucks up with a win and does not want to let go'.

The above has to be pure bull sh!t. They make Moores sound like he's a retard who has no control over his emotions. And surely if the above was true, after watching Rafa's boys get humiliated by United, Everton, Arsenal and Bolton this season he would be so f*cking depressed that he would've sold us to Dr Fun for a quid.

I'll say it again, I spit on all news/reports related to LFC investment.

[Mumsafan]

Yes I reckon we'll just wake up one day and they'll have sorted it - no leaks, no reports, nothing.

That's exactly the way it's going to happen. And as soon as it does, Zico and co will tell us that they knew it all along

[Mumsafan]

He hands out the same snippet over and over again about Kraft still lurking in the shadows but won't rekindle his interest until Moores changes his attitude about relinquishing control or some bollocks like that. That's usually followed by the hordes of window lickers thanking him for his 'info'.
