Hopefully that makes DIC the mysterious and mistrusted Redskin that eventually becomes the unsung hero.

Exactly. The room full of angry geese (and I mean really fucking livid) isn't the ideal option, we'd all like a room full of cake, but thems aren't the options right now.

Point of order:

I'd prefer a room full of fit Eurasian hookers, vodka and cocaine.

and an Xbox360 for when I'm recharging.

Re: DUBAI TO MAKE BID
If Hicks says he wont sell then he wont sell whatever you say about Hicks he's been upfront and honest probably too honest for his own good.

Hick will shoot you in the face not stab you in the back and thats why Rafa is history if Hicks stays

Re: DUBAI TO MAKE BID
To those asking why DIC would enter into a partnership - surely it would quickly end up with them as the majority shareholders after any purchase of Hicks' shares? They would put up the capital for the stadium and (possibly) players and issue more shares to reflect that, in effect diluting Gillett's share of the club. Certainly there'd be absolutely no point in an organisation of their wealth and liquidity borrowing money to finance the development of the club.

Let's say they pay Hicks £150m for 50% of the club and then finance a £400m stadium and £50m on players as part of a share/rights issue (don't know the correct technical term), suddenly Gillett ends up holding 20% of the club, rather than 50% making DIC defacto owners anyway.

50% is a pretty big fucking 'bit' though. And once they have half, it'll be a hell of a lot easier getting the other half. Still, you carry on trying to be contrary.

You are joking, aren't you? He's one of the most slimey and duplicitous fuckers I've ever seen.

Re: DUBAI TO MAKE BID
50% is obviously the easiet way in now then I could easily see them having 100% within a year. Though this is all dependent on that fat Texan twat selling.

Dunno what it is, but we keep on agreeing, this isnt the first time is it Whats going on ? But with regard to 'The Arabs' whilst they will still want to make their money, Im sure they would be more likely to do it in a) a professional way and b) by viewing us as a long term investment, therefore making the necessary investments, both on and off the field to ensure we are a top club performing at a top level. Parry will be gone, we'll have some deep pockets and Rafa stays I can deal with that.
