Goodbye Dubai, Hello Kuwait … LFC Lose The Plot!
Rumours are fast spreading that Liverpool are in talks with the influential Kuwaitis, the Al Kharafi family, with a possible view of a sale or at the very least some form of cash injection.
Most Liverpool fans will be extremely happy, given that it takes control out of the hands of the Yankee Duo Dandy, and gives them potential new owners with deep, deep pockets. To be brutally honest, I’m sure most fans don’t care whose Arab billions are poured into the club, so long as it is billions. The recent Manchester City acquisition has only gone the salivate their thirst for such money that much further. That my friends is a sad indictment on the state of British football. (Now’s not the time to discuss such things, a another time and place.)
However, as most things connected with Liverpool Football Club in recent months, nothing is as straightforward as it would seem. Talks are at best in their very early stages. An agreed price would still have to be reached, and given that Tom Hicks’ valuation of £600M is still seen in some quarters as unrealistic, a deal would not materilaise overnight.
Furthermore, George Gillett and Rick Parry seem to be sidelined from the deal and the leakage of information may be an attempt to start a bidding war.
Just when you thought it could not get worse at Anfield …

I’d much rather DIC buy Liverpool than anyone else. Liverpool football club need a strong leader in charge and someone with a dynamic vision for the long term, i believe DIC would take the club to a much higher level both financially and on the pitch. I don’t think they would throw money around for players but look at bringing in a few major players whilst developing youth for the future.
I’d certainly be glad to see the back of the american owners, i wasn’t happy when they bought the club, but i certainly don’t just want to see a sugar daddy take over and have no direction for the future safety of the club.
