Hi guys. Long time.

 

The only thing I know for sure is the Al Qassemi family from Sharjah are expecting the NDA from BarCap at some stage this week.

 

According to the person involved, no deal is close at this stage, and the board are still talking to potential buyers.

 

He has no idea who they are, but does confirm that the Kirdi bid a a load of bollocks.

 

It's Ramadan here now, and Arabs tend to get lazier and harder to get a hold of.

 

So if they are waiting for this Shrajah bid, my bet is that nothing will happen until after 15th September.

 

SHiekh Sultan (the ruler of Shrajah) controls its wealth, but its the younger generation that are interested in investing, purely to put Shrajah on the map.

 

Knowing what I do about them, I seriously hope they don't end up owning us!

Liverpool want my help to sell club, says Russell King | Football | The Guardian

Russell King claims to have received "extensive ongoing requests from members of the board asking for assistance" in selling Liverpool. King was the consultant who brought the "consortium of Middle Eastern and European investors" – and Sven-Goran Eriksson – to Notts County last year, and whose involvement caused the Football League not to pass the takeover as fit and proper.

 

Soon afterwards the entire club went into crisis, nearly collapsing under the £6m debt it ran up in little more than six months. Digger can reveal that King had previously been involved in Liverpool's search for investment from Dubai in 2006. He says he was asked to attend a meeting with a director of a company belonging to Sheikh Mohammed, the emir of Dubai. Subsequently, and in continuation of that meeting, King claims, the Liverpool board then pursued the aborted deal with Dubai International Capital.

 

Others familiar with the situation say Liverpool board members travelled out to meet him in Dubai in 2006 and that it quickly became clear he could not fulfil the promise of an introduction to the sheikh, whereupon they broke off contact. Now, claims King, the current board has been in touch. He said: "The board in no way broke contact and there are extensive ongoing requests from members of the board asking for assistance."

 

The board declined to comment last night but an insider in the sale process stressed King has no official involvement. However, given the increasing desperation of the situation, Digger would not put it past someone getting in touch to ask for help.

 

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

 

Now with Notts County being my local club I know a bit about this takeover. The 'Munto Finance' takeover was illegal according to Matt Scott who was writing about that takeover last season. This is worrying if true.

 

Sorry if this was already posted I have only just read this article.

The fact that fella sold Notts country is worrying.

 

Ah looks like it was already posted. At one of Notts County's first home games of the season myself and a few others were in the executive suite where businessmen on behalf of Munto Finance were telling us all of their plans to build a casino, 50k seater stadium £5 million pound training ground. They refused to comment on the questions asked to them about where the money was coming from and nobody, not even the chief exec at the time Peter Trembling knew where the money was coming from. They never paid Sven the money he was owed, which was a few million but he said he didn't want that money and they racked up huge debts by doing nothing. If this guy is in anyway involved in the takeover we're fucked.

Why the hell are you all responding to this Golden Shower nutjob? He is bloody obviously on a wind-up. Why the hell are so many is you biting?? I'm sick of seeing posts by him.

 

Fucking ignore him, he'll get bored and he'll go away. Simples.

 

The bloke's making me hungry. I can't help thinking of Golden Wonder crisps every time I hear his name!

 

I want a bite of his salt and vinegar!

Andrew_Heaton: For those who have an interest in the #LFC takeover saga, I'd keep a very close eye on The Times website over the coming

 

Let's see then...

 

Over the coming? It'll have to be fucking good news if it's getting that treatment.
