The thing is though Igor your gonna get fans believing what he said thats the sad part . Did you hear the bit on Klinsman when he said well hes under contract at Bayern now so thats not in the picture anymore , and in the next sentence spoke about Raffa havin a contract for the next 2 years .

Yes mate ,i heard the lot , the thing is he's being coached by a pr man ,and they are telling him what to say. How many times did he say " WE ARE GONNA HAVE THE BEST FOOTBALL STADIUM IN THE WORLD ". It's all spin to plecate the fans, and your right some fans will fall for it . It's up to the likes of us to put them straight and keep the pressure on the yanks.

BBC;

Hicks plans long stay at Anfield

Hicks and Gillett took over at Liverpool last March
Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has insisted he plans to retain his stake in the club for the foreseeable future.
"There is no question in my mind that I will still be an owner of Liverpool Football Club in five years," he told BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.

Liverpool have been the subject of speculation about a possible takeover by Dubai International Capital.

Hicks said that was never a "serious possibility" but the BBC understands he was in contact with DIC last Friday.

It is not clear what that conversation was about but Hicks said: "I can't think of a price where I would be interested in selling."

The Texan admitted speaking to DIC "a few months ago" about a "10% to 15% participation" in the club but DIC felt the price was too high.

"They would have been a minority investor and we would have used that capital to build a new stadium. We'll find other ways to capitalise the new stadium," he said.

Hicks, who along with fellow owner George Gillett took over the Reds in March 2007, confirmed a £350m refinancing package was put in place last week, with £105m of that as debt tied to the club.

Of that total, £45m will be used for future player transfers and to meet the club's working capital needs, while BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said £60m will provide the start-up money for the new ground.

"The refinancing will provide the capital for the next year-and-a-half to take the stadium move forward," added Hicks.

He repeated his backing for manager Rafa Benitez despite revealing earlier this month that he held talks with German Jurgen Klinsmann in November about taking over as manager in case the Spaniard left the club.

"We have a great manager who has our support," he said.

"After our meeting on 16 December he has shown his strong intent to do the right thing by the club.

"Rafa's got a contract for two more years and hopefully he'll stay for longer."

Nothin from Gilett, Nothing from Parry? Only Hicks is making the statements. Why? I get the impression that Hicks is using this all as a smokescreen to sell to DIC. Normally joint owners make joint statements, dont they?

Reading Chris Bascombe in the NOTW today, he seems pretty certain that DIC will still buy us out. Now I know he isnt exactly everyones favourite for going to the NOTW but he does know his stuff most times I read what he has to say.

I think what will happen is Gillett and Hick's strained relationship will break and Gillett will sell his 50% share to DIC, forcing Hick's out in the process.

"We are on our way " he says
i hope so right out the fu.c.kin door

It is hard to see with the comments he made how is looking to sell. Also, I cannot figure out why the BBC pundits think there is more to the story. Why don't they give it a rest and let us focus on the team. What was more surprising to me, was he support for Rafa, it really seemed he was contrite.
