Whether we like our blue friend McNulty or not he is a very good source and if he says it then it will be happening.

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
The next 7 days are going to be key to this whole fiasco. DIC are looking to but something concrete down and by then we'll know if the bank have any intention of letting them refinance the loan or not.

Nice work by the Yanks if they walk away with a £250m profit.
As you say, hardly great business practice, it's almost like Parry works for DIC !

That said,I'd obviously much more comfortable with DIC in charge. Lets keep our fingers crossed eh !

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
Good news this - as others have said BBC understands is code.

Doesn't mean it'll be accepted, but at least we know they are trying.

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
A £500 million bid sounds about right as Gillett and Hicks are wanting to loan £350 from the bank as they owe the cash from the pruchase of the club and transfers from last summer. They would also have been able to get the stadium started.

If they accept the offer from DIC they would pocket £150 million to share between them so hopefully they will see this as been an acceptable way of getting out.

They pulled out on principle - they felt that Moores had shook hands on a deal and then was going behind their backs. They also felt it would look bad for their image if they were seen to be gazumped so they pulled out before that could happen.

I reckon he might actually be Rashid.

Careful what you wish for.

Yep. It just finished. Pretty much said what the article said and mentioned the organised protest on Monday. Also said the words 'The Liverpool Way' twice.
