Liverpool move step closer to takeover by Maktoums.

[brightred]

It all sounds to good to be true but for the first time there may well be some truth in these investment stories.

I bet Zico posts his 'Dubai holding' exclusive this morning.

[brightred]

I wish I could read it!

Dubai Holdings has secured a deal in principle to invest in the Reds with Rafa Benitez set to receive significant transfer funds.
It is understood a deal was agreed late on Friday evening for the Middle Eastern investors to buy into the club although it is not yet clear if they have secured a controlling interest.

Reds' chief executive Rick Parry has been in negotiation with Dubai Holdings for two years and it is understood that the deal will release considerable funds for team strengthening and for the new stadium project.

Dubai Holdings, the Middle Eastern state's investment arm, looks to big global projects having recently secured an £800m purchase of Madame Tussaud's and the £675m buyout of Travelodge hotels.

They recognise Liverpool's incredible world-wide appeal and are said to be keen to put the club on a level financial footing with the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Zico/ Dunk/ Wallet etc etc

three bidders have actually 'agreed' their best offers, so it is for the club to choose the one which best serves the club. Looks like they've devided which one to go for. I was told one bid was better by far but not who it was. The 'in principle' deals were agreed before the meeting where the European funding was confirmed. Members of that committee (who confirmed the European funding) had to sign a confidentiality clause before LFC revealed the details

Thanks for the exclusive zico
You really are a true insider
things are so much clearer now that you have told us what we already knew.

(Rowanad)
I agree Bazza. Its a good thing Insidering isn't just repeating exactly what you read in the newspapers because then anyone would be doing it.

Markb1:whatever:
for both of your information,zico has been passing on info for the last few weeks that fits in with what is happening now
i hate sarcasim,its so childish

(Mattshark)
Dunk,I mean Wallet, sorry Zico, has been posting investment infomation about what has been in the media for years and is consistantly vague.

Markb1
every one that leaves info,so called insiders if you will, only leave vague and incorrect info for us.
all of them,so zico is no different from anyone else who claims to hhave insider news for us is he.
and as it happens zico left info a few weeks ago that had me assuming it was the dubai crowd,he also said it would happen around mid december.
thats one of the best piesces of insider info ive ever gotten on here,i couldnt care less if it was a great shot in the dark.
imo he got it right and thats more than most of the gods of insider info has ever done in my time on here,so thats good enough for me.
give the guy a break.

Dubai will buy Reds Dec 4 2006




Exclusive By Chris Bascombe Liverpool Fc Correspondent, Liverpool Echo


LIVERPOOL Football Club is set to be taken over by the investment arm of the Dubai government, the ECHO can confirm.

Control will transfer into the hands of the world's fifth-richest man, whose personal fortune dwarfs that of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Barring a last minute hitch the stunning deal worth around £400m will go ahead in the next few weeks, taking Britain's most successful football club into a hugely exciting new era.

The takeover, which should ultimately delight supporters, represents a remarkable coup for the club and for Chairman David Moores and Chief Executive Rick Parry.

Both have worked tirelessly to ensure the Reds receive the huge injection of cash they need, from the right partner who understands Anfield's history and traditions.

The deal will fund the building of the Reds' new 60,000 seater, £200m stadium in Stanley Park, clear the club's £80m debt and bring significant funds to develop Liverpool on and off the pitch, enabling them to continue to compete for the world's top stars.

Dubai International Capital is today embarking on a process of due diligence at Anfield examining details of the club's financial affairs before they sign the ag reement.

Provided that proceeds without a problem, the takeover could be concluded either at the end of this month or in the New Year.

The club is unlikely to make any statement until it feels the time is right.

However, the Reds' battle for investment is now all but over following talks with DIC - a company which owns Tussauds and the London eye and which is linked to Dubai's ruling Maktoum family.

The Maktoums are one of the world's richest, owning the Godolphin Racing stables as well as governing one of the most rapidly developing, oil-rich countries in the modern world.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum is Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, as well as the Ruler of Dubai.

With an estimated personal wealth of $10bn, there are only four men on the planet with more cash than him.
