Should we not be doing the same research on DIC?

LOL

Are you serious? Some of the richest people on the planet for fact. The guy owns a country ffs and is building islands in the ocean that make up a mini globe. They make Hicks look like he runs a chippy down the road. They are minted. They don't need loans that's for f*cking sure.

I was refering to past business dealings, success/failure etc. and more importantly whether they do what they say. They could have all the money in the world but it will not help us if they are money grubbing w@nkers.

Oil. Nuff said.

And going by the state of Dubai these days, I'd say their success rate in other areas is quiet good.

Texas has lots more oil than UAE (which do not have that much so I guess it is NOT "nuff said").

I am not saying that these are good or those are bad, I am just saying that maybe we should research DIC as diligently as we are researching Hicks. I do not want to jump from Hicks to DICs.

I liked the fanshare idea the best because at least they will always have the clubs interest first.

Hicks is a tw@t end of.

You think Texas has more oil than the middle-east?

Building sky scrapers and fancy hotels doesnt mean progress. Immigrant workers treated like 2nd class citizens housed in the worst places and paid less money is not progress. Dubai has done well in the sense it doesnt rely on oil to fund there economy like the other gulf states. Building islands in the ocean that make up a mini globe is nothing but a gimmick. How about making sure all the people are eating and are housed. Also I dont think owning a county and being a glorified dictator is something to be proud of. Its not like the people have a choice on who runs the country.

Liverpool are poised to change hands again - by the middle of next month - as the club's US owners close in on a double-your-money offer from Dubai.

Despite denials from Tom Hicks and George Gillett, Mirror Sport understands that an outline agreement to transfer ownership of the Anfield giants to Dubai International Capital is in the pipeline.

Sources in New York have confirmed that a £460million deal with DIC - the Dubai government's financial arm and headed by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum - is now on the verge of conclusion. Anfield fans will rejoice at the news that the two Americans' ill-starred reign is ending after a series of protests in recent weeks over their treatment of boss Rafa Benitez.

Supporters have demanded a sale to DIC, who were jilted at the end of 2006 when the Liverpool board wrongly believed the deal with the Americans would safeguard the interests of the club. Hicks is expected to stay as part of the new club directorate in the immediate aftermath of the sale.

The effective sale price is nowhere near the ambitious £1billion valuation Mirror Sport exclusively revealed was put on the club by Hicks in November. He and Gillett paid just £219m to take control of Liverpool from David Moores a year ago.

One insider said: "These talks are still ongoing. Tom and George want to make sure they get the right price for giving up the club."

Despite leaving Liverpool with a £350m debt, they will be able to walk away having made a substantial profit.

Like all red top papers i dont trust them but if this turns out to be true then Hicks will still be at the club for some time.

Do they

. Im not trying to get all political here but if they had more oil than in the UAE then they wouldnt have invaded Iraq or attempted to invade Somalia.

Bush was asking a few weeks for more oil from the UAE to be sent accross to boost the ecomony.

I think that is the very definition of the word "progress" as far as globalization is concerned. No?

Yes in terms of globalisation it probably does mean progress but the word globalisation is just a buzz word. For instance the rates of improvement in life expectancy, child mortality, education levels and literacy all have declined in the era of globalisation (1980-2000) compared to the years 1960-1980. However progress and success seems to be rated on a countries GDP rather than how many people have food on the table and real wealth in there pockets.

Dubai on the surface has much wealth but how the wealth is poorly distributed. To much of the wealth is invested outside Dubai and there is little accountability to where the money actually goes.

I think you will find that UAE/Dubai have done a lot for humanity. I will point you to one case of one Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktoum (yeah the guy who own DIC).

Please check the following article on how what he done for a program called 'Dubai Cares':

http://archive.gulfnews.com/indepth....31.html

In short, Sheikh Mohammed arranged a donation scheme for everyone to donate money for children around the world. Approximately 1.17 billion dirhams was raised. On the last day donations were to be put in Sheikh Mohammed turned up and said from his own personal wealth he would double what the community have put in.

There are other scenarios that detail this mans nature, and what you say about Dubai is totally wrong. They have given oppertunity to people who back in their own countries would have no jobs, starving and near death.

Please do some proper research and back it up accordingly.
