Re: DIC: takeover thread
Hicks wants someone to pump money into the club to help build the stadium but he doesn't want to give up control.

Sounds familiar that does.

FUCK YOU DAVID MOORES YOU DIM-WITTED CUNT.

Re: DIC: takeover thread
This isn't as bad as it sounds chaps. Hicks needs to obtain the necessary finances from somewhere to build the new stadium & with each day that passes, the more his grip on the club losens. It is better for DIC to be on the sidelines when that happens.

Re: DIC: takeover thread
from the offal

Tom Hicks, co-owner of Kop Football (Holdings) Limited and, through it, of Liverpool Football Club, today issued the following statement.
"Based on a meeting held earlier today in Dubai between my representatives and officials of Dubai International Capital LLC, as well as other recent contacts between us and them, I have decided to terminate any further discussions with DIC regarding their possible purchase of a minority stake in Kop and, in turn, in the Club.

"DIC made it clear that if they invested in the Club, they would want it to be managed by committee. Based on my thirteen years of successful experience as an owner of professional sports teams, and based in particular on the situation at Liverpool Football Club over the past year, it is clear to me that such a committee approach would not be in the best interest of Kop, of the Club or of the Club's loyal and passionate supporters.

"Accordingly, I have decided to exercise my right under the Kop Football (Holdings) Limited partnership agreement to veto any sale of any portion of Kop and the Club to DIC.

"I and my colleagues and representatives will continue to explore a number of other options with regard to the ownership of Kop and the Club aimed at achieving an appropriate ownership, financial and organizational structure for Kop and the Club over the long term."

So he hasn't terminated the talks about them taking 50% or 100% of the club? Or too optimistic?

She is a fucking cock-sucking, posh little rich girl, talent vaccuum, who only appeared on the Arab's radar through her horsey connections and Daddy.

A fucking disaster waiting to happen if she'd got involved with our club, and no surprise that she appears to have fucked this up before even getting that far.

Hicks terminates talks with DIC
Liverpool owners George Gillett (left) and Tom Hicks
The battle for control of Liverpool could be close to an end
Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has terminated talks with Dubai International Capital (DIC) over acquiring a 49% stake in the club.

DIC had earlier announced it was in advanced talks to buy a stake in the Anfield side.

But in a statement on the Liverpool website, Hicks said: "I have decided to exercise my right to veto any sale of any portion of Kop and the club to DIC.

"We will explore other options as regard to the ownership of the club."

More to follow


One point is it's not hicks they talking to over the 49% of shares.

Re: DIC: takeover thread
In the recent trend of optimism I'll suggest that maybe Hicks is just being a mind-game-playing cunt and he will in fact be begging DIC to buy the whole club from him because he's about to be declared bankrupt.

BELIEVE

lol, nice try, but a bit too optimistic i think

I had hoped this was the beginning of the end for this circus. How many pages will this thread total by the time this is over?

? So you'd rather have Hicks ?

Its far better, in the long run, for Hicks to reject DIC. They can stop making offers. As the refinance of teh refinance approachs he'll have no other offers so DIC will be in a stronger position. Its just more b.luster from the fat man.

Plus is debatable that he can veto Gillets sale anyway, thats still in the hands of the lawyers
