Takeover delay hampers Liverpool's spending plans

[El Jefecito]

Sloppy Reporting.

Rafa has never said that he would like money for the January window. I've heard him say more than once, that he has his targets in place and that it's unlikely that new money will change them. He's also stated that it's difficult finding the right players in January

It was always unlikely that the due dilligence would be completed before the end of January anyway.

DIC dont have to buy all the shares. Only a majority share holding. That is 50.1%

It's unlikely that they will do any major investing though, before they own 100% of the club. Investing in a club that they own 50% of would make it more expensive to acquire the outstanding shares, unless the investment would acquire them a Bigger shareholding (Outstanding Shares) or if they invest in a stadium that they own and rent it back to the club.

I think they only have to extend the offer to all shareholders if they own more than 60% (Not Sure about exact %) Once they own 90% all remaining shareholders must sell their shares to DIC

Rafa did say in a PC on the offal that he had 2 lists. The regular one and another in case he had extra money coming in from the DICs.

Will he go quietly or will he try to get other share holders to block DIC controlling the whole club.

If he refuses to sell he will have to pay A LOT of money to keep his shares. Worst case scenario they could force other shareholders to finance their part (%-vice) of the new stadium etc. When you bring in cash to a company you can ask all other shareholders to do the same to a certain extend. Morgan doesn't have a choice the way I see it.

Lucas bloody Neill

we can and should do better. Hell, not signing anyone would be an improvement on Neill

That signing would be rubbish and show a complete and bizzar lack of ambition.

Let's wait for the arab cash

I agree he's not an ideal signing,but for 1m,he will be back up for Finnan,which we currently don't have.He's got plenty of experience and don't think will do a bad job if called upon.Because we don't really have any cover for Finnan,you can only say that signing Neal will strengthen the squad.
