Potential New Investors

[Rashid]

We have to be honest that we as ordinary fans know fuck all about how investors would treat us, what they would do when they are in and what their intentions are.

 

However, we have all read so much these past 5 years on "investment" that we could probably write papers on it now.

 

Chris Bascombe today said that it is "highly likely" that we would have new owners, so who do you want?

 

There are so many people who have opinions, some like me who hate G+H others who are suspiscious of investment companies like DIC and so on. So who would you choose and why?

[Spy Bee]

I think Mr Kipling would be exceedingly good.

More to the point it was Bascombe and he has been spot on, it was he that first busted these owners for what they were trying to do to Rafa and noone is telling me that they didn't try and get rid of Rafa cos they did.

Out of interest Rash do you have a good source of info about DIC, or is the info you post about them just what you have read on the net?

The only possible good investor we could get is someone who is a big Liverpool fan, who has loads of cash and doesnt expect anything in return as he is only doing it out of his love for Liverpool.

 

Unfortunatly such a person doesnt exist and whoever we get are in for what they can make out of Liverpool.

 

DIC are like the name suggest an investment group from Dubai who will be looking at a return for their money.

 

Whoever takes over i have no problem at all with them using us to make cash but to do so they have to make us successful on and off the pitch.

 

At the moment DIC seem the more attractive option as at least they are run by a genuine Liverpool fan who knows the ins and outs of football.

I have nothing really mate but do take an interest in what they do and how they act as I took interest in what they do and did loads of research at the time they wanted us. They are serious investors in my opinion.

Sundat Times Rich List

 

John Miskelly

I still have no reason to believe that they were planning to fire Rafa. I dont think it's about that at all. there is obviously trouble at the club, with finance or something, but I dont think Rafas job is on the line. Head in the sand - maybe - but I dont believe the hype, even though the Americans are the new Public Enemies

[King Emlyn]

A no brainer. DIC

[coop]

So is Miskelly and Morgan..... Kraft also knows about football.

 

Miskelly and Morgan are not rich enough to fund us.

[Carradona]

A few people on here last night said that DIC didn't want to invest in Arsenal, Newcastle or Man United because they were only interested in the one club. Surely that is a good sign, so I will go for DIC.

[Zippy]

DIC - they are excellent professionals with a track record of success. I have no problem with them wanting to make money as for that to happen we would have to be very successful. Also I like the fact that a major factor in them wanting us is to gain even more prestige for Dubai and as such knowing the Sheikh's reputation they would do everything in their power to ensure that we presented an image of continuing success.

I'm not sure about that.

[Sangria]

We have been bum raped and unfortunately I see no knight in shining armour.

Bill Kenwright

Ken Dodd

Maybe send in all the research that you did to Dave so that he can include it in the next edition of the fanzine, shame for all your hard work to go to waste.

 

Also, did you not want to do the same sort of indepth research on G&H?

[Rafa Shankly]

i think what has been proved by gillett and hicks is that you need shit loads of money to take over a football club like ours.

 

imo theres only one name that fits that bill,DIC.

[navbasi]

As for the poll, I would go with Kraft simply from what I read in an interview with Steve Nicol at the time when it was rumoured they were interested in us, he basically said that they stay out of the limelight and let the manager manage and back him to the hilt.

 

The are loaded and already know who to run a football club. So my vote goes to them.

[Rashid]

I still see there is no denial from Coco this morning. Just like there was no denial from Coco the last time Bascombe went to town on them.
