If they are so sure of the long term returns, why the reluctance to put in a bit of their own money to secure the necessary loans (as little as £20m some reports would have us believe)?
That points to short-termism to me.
Very good point. Unless of course they dont have 20m. They would then need finance to secure the deposit. Very messy.

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
just to restate the previous point that they wont make that much money even if they ran it for a few years.

If and a very big If DIC are paying 500m for it then obviously its not about making money because the time they've finished buying players and building the new stadium its gonna stand them in 800-900m way over what manu cost and to represent a return on captial theyd have to make 50m a year after transfers as rock bottom minimum profit.

Of course they are in it to make money.

But the encouraging thing is, that they appear to be looking long term.

I hope that's the case, but that doesn't mean they don't want to make money from it. Perhaps they recognise, unlike the Americans, that the best way to add value to their investment is to make the team successful.

Not necessarily. We could be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. I'm pro Dubai International & believe that they would have been more suitable custodians, but nobody knows for sure what their intentions are.

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
From what I have heard, this time round the Shiekh has actually said "get me Liverpool"... and from what I have heard they want it badly now... they will invest heavily lads, no joke. They will buy at the top of end of the market.

Re: BBC headline: DIC to bid for whole club
Al Jazeera are reporting now that Tom Hicks approached DIC asking them to bid.... knowing they were always interested. DIC spokesman point black refusing to comment.

Rashid I hope you are right, but none of us can say with any certainty what their game plan would be if they took control of LFC.
