Smooth Operator 10 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Whatever the outcome is regarding DIC or any other buyer Ashley needs to get Keegan back & get rid of Wise. Surely the club would be a more attractive option with Keegan back and if Ashley doesn't care anymore then why not get KK back in? Rat dwarf will be gone regardless when it's sold so why delay the inevitable, he's keen on cost cutting anyway so 1 less numpty off the wage bill early doors makes sense. Wise is a fucking scum bag for not resigning in the face of the protests he knew were coming. At least Ashley has won some respect back with his statement. Agree apart from the last line. It's a pack of lies man. If for nothing else than for issuing something rather than saying nowt and not even making it common knowledge he wants out. There's a lot of bollocks in it i agree but I'll not be protesting anymore as the outcome I wanted has been reached in the most part anyway.

Fop 1 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 DIC would possibly do a good job, but i think they'd be similar in terms of what they want to ashley. I.e. stabilise and then bring players through as a revenue stream... I think you'll find this is wrong. Dubai have a fierce rivalry with Abu Dhabi. When DIC (Dubai) finally own a club in the Premier League, they'll want to outdo the Abu Dhabi group. The only problem is this DIC group want Liverpool. We can only hope those yanks keep refusing DIC's overtures, they lose patience with them and they buy our club. Aye, it's a bigger risk (for the fans), but potentially one with a bigger pay off. Whether they are genuinely interested though is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3203 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The only problem is this DIC group want Liverpool. We can only hope those yanks keep refusing DIC's overtures, they lose patience with them and they buy our club. Which is why I doubt they'd spent huge money here if they did take over, if they had a virtually unlimited pot of cash then they would have offered Hicks and Gillett enough to buy their stakes but they seem to be haggling over price which leads me to believe that we wouldn't have the same sort of spending power as the likes of Chelsea and City. This more likely to do with the fact that after buying Liverpool the new owners would then have to pay £400 million on a new stadium. Also I believe that Sheikh Makhtoum is now considering buying Liverpool on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have some issues though, issue (amazingly) Newcastle don't have. I dunno, they could just be trying to force Liverpools (Hick's/Gillett's) hand.

The trouble is (and you'll get this with anybody else as well) they'd prefer to be in charge of someone like Liverpool. You could probably say the same about that lot who've just bought City. They don't really give a shit about the club if they happen to buy us. It could still be a good thing but it just bothers me a bit re: the long-term effects it may have.

Its the structure put in place, where they see the club, what they want to put into the club and what they expect out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16635 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well if they take over we will be owned by a company called DIC, suits what we have in charge now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ruled themselves out on SSN. Tbh I doubt there's anything solid on which investors are likely to be ruling themselves in or out yet, talks would need to take place first on both parts - any decent business wouldn't rule out an opportunity without checking it out first.

Aye, we'd just be a trophy on the wall. On the other hand with the cash involved in the Premiership now and the likely lack of any other type of investor, it might be the best hope.
