Rather harsh on Moores, but I just cannot understand what an investor has to have in order to buy Liverpool? DIC placed what seems like an ideal plan of action on the table and Moores has suddenly pulled the plug.

A lot of people are going to feel very silly readign this thread i nteh next week or so.

Calm Down Calm Down

I think you are very right, people are just coming out with so much dross when the simple fact is that none of us know exactly what is happening. Personally speaking I think Moores and Parry have only ever acted in the best interests of our club, they have made mistakes but have never acted wrecklessly or been so wide of the mark that serious harm has come of it. A little trust is needed i think. Very few of us know what it takes to run a football club, our job is to SUPPORT the club through thick and thin and in situations like ours where we have an experienced and trustworthy board we need to let them get on with it.
Some on here go on about how Man Utd were in uproar when the Glazers took over, and you're right there was a furore like never before and the fans were scared and angry.....those same fans now are singing loud and proud every week as their team sits atop the premier league.

What I am trying to say in a very long winded fashion is: Let's just wait and see before going off on one.

More brain cells than some of the muppets who have posted drivel in this thread for a start.

lets face it if this is all it takes to scare off DIC then there balls cant be very big, its business dog eat dog if they want us then put up a fight and show us what your made of.

Does anybody here seriously believe that moores would set up a deal to fatten his own pockets and leave the club in the lurch, lets see what this guy has to offer before we hang him from the gallows

These sound familar great history but havent won anything since he took over.

True enough, Cigs, but hockey's a much different kettle of fish...

For one, there's a salary cap so that no team can do a Chelsea and buy themselves the title...they actually have to build a team and Montreal's been doing a decent job of it for the last few seasons.

For two, there's the "regular season" and "the playoffs".  Doing well in the former gets you into the latter but, then, all bets are off.  It would be like playing the regular season in the Premiership and then having the top 6 or 8 teams play a number of Best of 7 knock-out series to declare the league winner.  It's not unlike the Champions League, were an unfancied but in-form team can put together a great run.  I would suggest that the Canadiens have done much better since Gillett took over but, because the playoffs are such a lottery, they've not had the tangible results to highlight this improvement.

For three, the NHL has been entirely turned on its head in the last two seasons do to a year-long lock out of the players in 2004-2005.  The league's rules, scheduling etc. have all been monkeyed with, as have the rules regarding trades (aka transfers) and salaries.  All teams are trying to adjust to these changes, making it hard to compare the current Canadiens team to the pre-lockout team.

As I said in my earlier post, I don't know that much about Gillett, don't have any real sense of why Moores and the board are looking at his bid more carefully and have no idea what he would do to the club if he took over (no one does).  But, it seems to me that people are making wild assumptions and accusations about his motives based on nothing whatsoever. 

I'm sure a lot more to this story will be revealed in the days and weeks ahead.  It's hard to keep a sense of perspective amidst the disappointment but let's wait to hear a bit more about the why things have turned out as they have before we cast this yank as the villain of the piece, hmmm?

I have said it before and I,ll say it again...perhaps some sort of verbal protest at the game on saturday with a few banners..directed towards the main stand directors would help get the message across to the board?. 

Never.

I take it you dont go the match soft lad.

Never ever at Anfield that shi.te.

Listen soft ...i am a season ticket holder so dont patronise me you moron! your views are obviously seen through rose tinted gigs you must wear...how often do you "visit" anfield or perhaps you are one of those "day trippers".

What he said.

Business is cut throat, so if someone with a bit of competition is all it takes to scare these fuc.kin arabs off what are they gonna do if someone puts a bid in for a player we are in for ?

Good Riddance if they dont have the town halls.

You must be lying.

Otherwise you would know that kind of protest against the board would never happen.

That goes without saying, but I'm not sure what Moores wants from investors, he wants them to uphold the traditions of the club, but wants them to provide for the clubs future and DIC seemed to have a great plan of action. From reports it seems Moores wants as much money from Liverpool as he can get, I don't blame him, but he seems unwilling to compromise and until he bends an ickle bit, no investment will go through and I'm sick to death of United basking in the sun, while we sit in the gutter, we have a devine right to sit at the top of the league, like the Queen sits in her throne and I'm sick to the back of my teeth of watching the best club in the land of milk and honey lose to those dirty, flithy scummy, s.hit wittering folk from Manchester celebrating at winning the Premiership, whilst we say "next season will be our season"

So you read their business plan ?

Saw their profit and loss sheet ?

Perused their plans for the stadium ?

No ?

so how the fuc.k do you know that ?

But, it seems to me that people are making wild assumptions and accusations about his motives based on nothing whatsoever. 

Its based on his first intentions of buying Liverpool and suggesting that we Groundshare with Everton, now he has said ok leave the groundshare business for the moment till I own the club the board are willing to listen to him again, only two days ago we heard the club had told him to sling his hook now it looks like he might own us by the weekend.

[80-1169754111]

Well Moores allowed them to view the Liverpool economics books and the deal looked set in stone, suddenly a person comes in with more money and Moores accepts his offer, what exactly does he want to do with Liverpool? I agree with Ciggy, I don't trust this latest guy at all and that's not just because he's American.

I can see it now, Liverpool playing in the McDonald's stadium sponsored by Vagiclean.

When did he say he was pro ground share ?

People have simply read the papers who make it up.
