Not. Really.

A rose by any other name would be just as sweet.

Ergo. The point still stands. And You are a silly Cwatunt,

[Cardie]

Yes really.

Especially since Travelodge is doing quite well at the moment and is still controlled by DIC, it's perhaps not the best name to throw out when saying DIC won't treat us like that.

You're now just backing up the idea that your argument was a cwatuntish argument.

the Rash getting the names mixed up takes nothing from your point being initially shit and time now proving it to be shit*.

*probably

[Cardie]

'The Rash' doesn't get names mixed up, he has sources, he knows DIC inside out, he know's what they're thinking before they've thought it (a matter of days before).

The idea that he doesn't shakes my belief in mankind.

You are a Cwatunt, and thats my final word on the matter.

Defending the Americans or saying that we would spend money?

Don't worry about it! I thought I was in the money there...

Get a fucking room. Ive come on here to se whats happened overnight and im greeted with playground arguments.

Take it to PMs if you must argue but can you please take it off here.

[Rashid]

Staveley said overnight that they HAVE got 49% of LFC with the aim to buy the rest soon.... and that they will run LFC as a long term investment and going concern and NOT as a private equity business.

Well I guess that's 100 % true then, just like when G&H said they weren't loading the club with debt.

Hicks: Other ventures won't affect Texas Rangers

SURPRISE, Ariz. – Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks made it clear Saturday that the possibility of additional investors, whether in the Liverpool Football Club or Hicks Sports Group, will not affect the Rangers.

"It has absolutely no impact whatsoever," Hicks said in his second visit to spring training. "The Rangers are a separate entity, like the other teams. Nothing changes."

Hicks said his representatives continue to negotiate with Dubai International Capital, which is seeking to become a minority partner in Liverpool, the Premier League soccer club Hicks co-owns with George Gillett. Hicks said there are other groups he's talking to in addition to DIC and that negotiations aren't as far along as reported.

Hicks said he was in the Middle East a few weeks ago and met with Sameer Al Ansari, the CEO of DIC.

"We had a good meeting; he's a sharp guy," said Hicks, who bought Liverpool with Gillett for $431 million last March. "That doesn't mean anything. At the end of the day, it depends on 'What are their true intentions?' Are they willing to accept a position as a passive, minority investor, or do they want more than that? If they want more than that, they're not going to be involved."

Hicks said he sent DIC a 60-page draft of a shareholders agreement that would define what terms he is seeking if it wants to own 49 percent of the club. Gillett, who owns 50 percent of the team, could sell a portion of his stake to Hicks and the rest to DIC or another group. That would leave Hicks as the majority partner.

Hicks told The Associated Press that he's upset with DIC's lead negotiator, Amanda Staveley, saying she has been leaking private correspondence between the pair to the British media.

No matter what Hicks does, he says it won't alter his plans with the Rangers. He doesn't plan on being as active with the baseball team now that Nolan Ryan is president and has operational control.

"As the owner, you only have to get involved when there are issues," Hicks said. "With Nolan and [general manager] Jon Daniels, there are no issues. I try to help with sponsors and do what I can to help grow the revenues of the team."

Hicks is doing what Moores did, he wants to sell for big money and wants the new shareholders to have no say.
