Liverpool FC rumour mill – DIC takeover due 18th February
I had the following emailed to me today from a source in Liverpool…
Please at present this is a rumour & nothing more but I thought to share it with you as there are some interesting references in there.
What’s your take on it? Have you heard anything along these lines?
“Mark this date in your calendars – February 18th 2008. Massive press conference is being planned at Anfield as we speak. The club has been sold to DIC for 375 million pounds that will give the current owners $710 million – a $70 million profit. Al Ansari, CEO of DIC has completed hid due diligence.
The players and staff were made aware of this prior to the Luton game. Rafa’s job is safe but he has to bring in an assistant, this will be Gary McAllister.
Rick Parry, who offended members of DIC last year, will ’step down’ and the new owners will bring in David Dein as a replacement.
No more money will be available for transfers in the January window as the current owners will not sanction any deals, unless players are sold. The summer will see massive player investment from DIC, believed to be in the region of 85 million + whatever is made from player sales. This could see a transfer budget of around 115 million. This is not a rumour, this is all legit. Remember who told you the Americans had brought the club, four days before it was released and who let you guys know that Fernando Torres had signed a deal a full week before the press even got wind of it.
That’s me – The Anfield Insider”

Sure seems unlikely…looks like Hicks & Gil’ are to refinance their debt so that they can get more value from the club IF they then sell to DIC.
Remember these two have yet to put up any of their own money into the club.
