I have been to dubai and they certainly dont do things by halves. If they were gonna build a ground god only knows what it would be like.

A stadium built out of gold would be nice.

They never ruled out a groundshare as far as I'm aware.

I think it's a case of 'grass is greener' with DIC, rich arabs, etc, but we could end up worse off.

Of course it will be done with loans. Importantly though, they will get them and get them on the very best of terms.

Very importantly though if the team needs an injection of talent they can afford it.

Most importantly though is that if we miss CL qualification they can afford to see us through.

The best bit is that they seem determined and they may see us as their flagship. If they do, it's going to be a fun ride.

For me it wasn't about being bankrolled, it was about a buyer enabling us to compete on an even financial playing field, by making LFC self sufficent. As then we are safe whatever happens it the long run.

So if DIC do get in and if they do borrow against the stadium, fine, just dont put he purchase cost on our books.

I'm suprised that they are interested in joint ownership.

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing - just disagreeing with Pauls suggestion they will pay for it out of their own cash.

Re: DUBAI TO MAKE BID
DIC are not bored Russian billionaires looking for a hobby, they're an investment vehicle and in it to make a return. They won't use their own money for anything and would probably want their own people in, including manager.

Probably why Moores went with the Americans in the end. Maybe a gut feeling that all was not right with DIC. Now that he's out of the way, DIC can worm their way back in again.
