Mate, we are a prostitute right now - it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest if DIC, Gillett and Hicks all formed a partnership and fuck the "franchise" to bits.

The more I think of it the more I want to twat Moores and Parry.

Read it on YNWA that Hick junior went down to Sandon after the match and was chased out by angry reds.

thats exactly correct, all the signs are pointing towards a DIC share of maybe 50% max.

Re: DIC takeover a done deal?
latest from Shanks Legend on RAWK

----------------------------

"I heard a very indifferent news yesterday by my other source.

Firsly the yanks are aware DIC want to buy, contact has been made between both partys.

Hicks wasn't in Dubai at all he has been in USA, since returning from his holiday.

Both yanks are pushing ahead with the running of the club and planning for the future. Tom Hicks will be coming over to the club next week to show his face for whatever reason probably to do with the ground but not to watch a game.

The refinancing still has a few teething problems that need ironing out. Am unsure what all this means so just reporting what i have been told"

Re: DIC takeover a done deal?
Yeah it sure is.
His source, or the primary one at least, seem to be at the club, hence not necessarily involved with any negotiations that have taken place so far.
Seems like talks have been taken place directly between DIC and G&H and not directly through LFC directors.
CTR's source is supposedly involved in these talks from DIC's part.

And then he says :

"They have been talking for a while, but this info is what i was told yesterday.

By the way Hicks Jr was guarded yesterday by 2 special branch officers, don't know what thats all about"

Re: DIC takeover a done deal?
We all just need to "sit tight".

The stadium work could start (the basics) tomorrow if needed, because there's £50m or so in the kitty for it. We don't need money for transfers until the summer. Ideally we need to know our future before the end of April at the absolute latest. A couple of months sounds like forever, but it'll soon pass.
