Maybe he doesn't but they think Gillett may.

So, joint ownership then. Hmm. I reckon they'd try buy-out Gilette in due couse too mind.

Where's this from?

Tony barrett, ****ing hell its on

[Los Rojos]

Interesting that they'd be prepared to go into a 50-50% partnership with Gillet.

If DIC took over it would surely mean the end for Parry and perhaps Moores as a board member.

So DIC are 100% still sniffing.

So if DIC dont move before the loan is refinanced it's just speculation from the press as per. Should'nt be too long then before it's put to bed or proved right. Cheers for the post.

Whether Hicks is willing to sell is another matter entirely.

The Dallas-based multi-millionaire is on record saying he is not interested in selling his stake, even though there are tensions between himself and Gillett about the proposed refinancing deal.

In a recent interview Hicks said: “I just want to clear up with you that I am not selling any of my shares to anybody.

“I have no idea why anyone would think that. It was just rubbish.”

But with Sheikh Mohammed, one of the world’s richest men, now back on the scene Hicks looks likely to face some tough decisions in the days to come.

On the one hand a deal with DIC could present him with a sizeable return on his initial investment and an opportunity to walk away from the dual problems of securing the necessary loans to service their own debt, fund the new stadium and winning the fans over all over again.

But, on the other, there may be a reluctance to part with an asset which he fought so hard to acquire, one which he firmly believes can pay dividends in the long term.

Hicks insists financial restructuring could be complete within days, and if he is proven right it will make an immediate offer from DIC less likely.

The American pair have six weeks to secure a £350m loan that would refinance their original purchase of the club.
