Clutching at straws here Cig but if the rivalry between the powers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai is as fierce as painted maybe the move on Man City might prompt DIC to make an offer for LFC that the yanks just can't refuse.

Please god.

My fella lived and worked in the Dubai for years he socialised with these rich sheikh types, he said they are so childish its unreal.
He said for example if they bought us and another team was after a player and they wanted that player they would bid silly money but be giggleing about it like a little child.

He said them that have took over City wouldnt think twice of bidding 200 million for Torres if they wanted him they wouldnt bat an eye lid.

They dont want to make money from the club but see the club as their football club their treasure.

My cousins fella said last week to my mum he does buisness in Dubai all the time, he said not only does the Sheikh want Liverpool, but they want the airport and will really invest in the city.

Maybe this is why Peel holdings are sh!tting a brick asking for a groundshare on the dock because they own the airport.

But its all speculation but Mark my cousins fella said last week they will own us very soon.

Just have to get twit & tw@t to agree to sell, we know twit wants to its getting tw@t to agree.

Since the country's creation in 1971 - a move driven by Sheikh Khalifa's father, the revered late Sheikh Zayed - Dubai and Abu Dhabi have competed against each other for the world's affections, a rivalry that has gone into overdrive since the turn of the century.

When Dubai built its own seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab, Abu Dhabi responded with its own, the Emirates Palace. When Dubai embarked on huge, glamorous construction projects that stole headlines across the world, Abu Dhabi followed suit with plans to build a Guggenheim and a Louvre. Even sporting events have witnessed this economic one-upmanship, with Abu Dhabi setting up a rival to Dubai's PGA tour golf event and tennis tournament.

From the outside, it appeared that Abu Dhabi resented the success of its glamorous neighbour. Dubai's royal family had been so successful in branding the emirate that many assumed that it, and not Abu Dhabi, was the capital of the UAE.

So when DIC, itself an investment arm of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's sovereign fund, tried and failed to buy a Premier League club, Abu Dhabi just had to keep up with the Joneses. Well, the Maktoums.


Buying Man City is as much about putting Abu Dhabi's flag in the sand. The emirate wants to be a global sports hub, and there's no better way of fast-tracking that than buying one of the grande dames of English football.

It is also ample evidence that the world's financial power base is shifting eastwards. But more importantly than that, the capture of Man City gets one over on Abu Dhabi's glamorous neighbours over their Eastern border. And that, they will conclude, is worth any price.

The Shiehk might step it up now Cigg i mean let the Abu Dabs have a Ford Escort when Shiekh Mo can have a rolls

I am pretty close with some of the Sheiks down in Dubai and know alot about how (Dubai Holdings, Dubai government, Shk. Mohammed...etc in particular) run business and i tell you what, iv put that exact same thought earlier as i broke the Mancity news in this very thread. I dont think that its far fetched that the sheiks of Dubai and AbuDhabi would have agreed to buy 2 premier league clubs and battle it out in the big stage to see who can outspend and make a bigger name out of their clubs in X years. No doubt if Sheik Mohammed is allowed to buy Liverpool he'd have a great lead over his AbuDhabi rivals but i can actually see them going for Newcastle if a deal with the Americans is not agreed soon. ManCity seem to be throwing money left, right and center at any and every good player seemingly available atm and the statelments from Mark Hughes and the ADUG representatives seem to sum up the vision and direction them rich Arabs seem to be going about.

Not bein funny like Mate but if your close like you said to the Shiekhs have a word will yeh and tell them its doing my heart no good and to get there finger out an hurry up. Ill even wear a yash mak thingy for them .

hehe.. dont know if you'v ever heard of DEC or know much about Dubai but form what i know ill tell you that a whole lot of research and effort have been put to making numerous bids to them american pair of nuts . If i have my info right im pretty sure that theres contact between DIC and the American for a possible deal but im not sure if the offers have been accepted or not.
They are interested but as i said if the Americans arent willing to sell then i think newcastle fans are up for a treat pretty soon. ManCity fans seem to be enjoying every second of today as well.. Fcking hell the ADUG dude said that theyr going to spend whatever it takes and are going to try and sign the best players in the world. Hughes said that he's looking for a top 5 finish and pushing for a champions league spot by next season and tell you what, with a couple of signings they'r not that far off !

Sheikh Mohamed told the Liverpool Echo last week he is NOT interested in buying any other club he is only interested in buying LFC.

So the Toon army can keep on dreaming.

[rafa09]

All this talk is just speculation,rumours here and there.Today could be a watershed for LFC. It,s going to go one way or the other.Am feeling very,very sad tonight.And very ANGRY towards the american I hate them with a passion

DEC are basically the main research council in Dubai and they are only involved in major deals concerning Dubai government (major projects, future development plans..etc) and sometimes Shk. Mohammed's personal deals and for quite some time now they have been studying potential deals by DIC to buy Liverpool FC and like i said from what i know DIC already have bids for the Americans but not sure if they have been accepted or not yet. But DIC are definitely interested and have been putting alot of effort into making the deal happen.

Foreign investors are the new foreign players, flavour of the month .

Tell you what though, of all the foreign investors in the UK ours have actually got the least cash, how the f#ck did Parry manage that? Two years scouring the world and you manage to come up with not one but two who are both completely skint. 

[GRAHAM01]

not so skint they couldn't give him nice big wedge of cash when they came

[Reg]

All I ask of a new owner is they build the 73,000 stadium and leave a legacy to be proud of.

H&G will leave debt, the only question is how much.

Sometimes you've got to laugh, I hope we get these Sheiky guys to invest. We're seriously getting left behind now, and when or if they do buy the club the first thing they must do is SACK Parry, the idle w@nker.

have to say i could not agree more with you

that man has to go that is the one and only thing hicks has ever said that was right 

the man is just a waste of space and the sooner he f*cks off the better, all he ever does is drag his heels on any deal he does and f*ck up deals that should be done and dusted within hours
