ANFIELD RAPPER your a tit , i said in 5/7 years .....keane will be a class manager. Some of you guys are such a joke ,  Everyone gets so touchy when someone say something different. Like why dont you restrict this forum to interviews. Iv been reading this site for years now and The amount of topic that you lot write about is beyond beleif?!!!! All i said was Roy keane will be a great manager in 5/7 yrs time and IF Benitez were ever to go back to Madrid i think he would be great . Dont give me any about me being 12 , or me being a utd fan cause you ARE SHOWING u havent a clue ..... im up there in this forum as one of the biggest fans, i started supporting lfc when i was started primary school ( im 20)  so i have being a fan through the thick times, i have never seen us win a Championship. Never .... iv cried my eyes out 2 BILLION TIMEs because of Lfc......... i check this site along with 5 others at least 15 times a day . So dont be such holes to me , a newbie , cause i have a different opinion. Some people here talk ., our such hypocrites. You ll never walk alone bollick yet yee treat other fella fans like cause you and the few elite men in here have a few thousand post so everyone else is wrong. I LOVE THIS SITE but yee dont half make it hard on ppl with a diff view.

Rant over. Sorry if i offended anyone simply for suggesting Keane would be a great acquis. in 5 years....

You need to chill. You started off by saying there are reports that Real want to get Capello out in the summer and that Rafa is probably going. Thats where i have become confused because you have also been talking about getting Keane in as manager, and i naturally pressumed you ment as Rafa's successor.

Anyway, Keane is manc scum in my eyes (i'm sure he hate's LFC aswell) and even if he did become a good manager, there will be other good managers who were not manc scum so you couldn't really have picked a more unlikley candidate for a future LFC manager. Plus, ok, he's had a decent start but nobody knows how good Keane will be in 5/7 years so its a non starter really. I don't care if your from the same city as him. What? you think that makes you a better judge on the matter? Or should we just try and get him just to satisfy your fantisies? Its something you should have kept to yourself and not made it one of your first posts. You tit.

And as you can see if you looked i am not an elite member with thousands of posts and i've been a member for 2 years. So f*ck you, idiot.

[tubby]

some names are just not meant for lfc for any job

fat sam allardyce, jose maureen, sir alex of sulk and roy keane included

not in my lifetime

Just a few weeks ago Mourinho was saying his reserves were good enough for the Championship.

Now look at how he moans about his team not being strong enough. 

[The Manhattan Project]

According to Manhattan's sources, the deal just went through.

[Igor Zidane]

I can confirm the deal has been done. I've just seen parry and moores with the shiek and a couple of his mates inthe maccies. Moores was at the counter and he ordered Large breakfast meals for all of them, so he's obviously feeling flush.lol

Gillett Jnr set to make new Liverpool bid and delay DIC takeover
By Andy Hunter
Published: 22 January 2007
Dubai International Capital will be unable to complete their £450m takeover of Liverpool before the close of the transfer window after the American sports tycoon George Gillett Jnr last night re-emerged as a rival contender for control of the Anfield club.

Gillett Jnr, the billionaire former owner of the Harlem Globetrotters and current owner of the Montreal Canadians ice hockey team, was among several bidders rejected by the Liverpool board before they reached agreement with the investment arm of the Dubai government on a deal that would see DIC purchase majority control for around £155m, assume £80m of debt and fund a new 60,000-seater stadium close to the club's existing Anfield home.

Both Liverpool and DIC representatives, who were present at Saturday's Premiership defeat of Chelsea, had hoped to conclude the deal this month to release transfer funds for the manager, Rafael Benitez, and to enable work on the new stadium to start immediately. But those plans were placed on hold last night when Gillett informed Liverpool he was ready to make an increased bid for the club.

Though Liverpool's chairman and majority shareholder, David Moores, has agreed terms with DIC, Gillett is entitled by company law to register a rival bid once the Dubai group have completed due diligence, the period that grants a business exclusive access to the club's books. The Premiership club are also bound by company law to allow the 68-year-old the same period of due diligence that they gave to DIC, which will delay any takeover for at least another month.

Gillett is believed to be willing to pay £5,000 per share for Liverpool, which would value the club at £170m and £15m higher than the Dubai offer, but part of the attraction in the DIC bid for Moores is the offer of a life president's role for him once they take over, and the continuation of Rick Parry as chief executive.

Gillett, by contrast, would prefer his own people in the boardroom and has favoured sharing a new stadium with Everton. Moores, whose 51.6 per cent stake in the club means he can veto any offer, opposes such conditions

I would now prefer the DIC bid to just go ahead without any delay especially after reading about the ground share (never going to happen)

Gillett raises stakes in fight for Liverpool

George Gillett is set to re-open talks with Liverpool and top the bid from Dubai International Capital to take over the club.

The owner of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team had appeared to lose out to DIC, the investment arm of the family of Dubai ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Even though the £450million package Gillett proposed equalled that from DIC, Liverpool were worried about the level of debt he would take on to finance the deal.

Another concern was that he favoured a shared stadium with Everton. Majority shareholder David Moores wants Liverpool to proceed with plans for their own 61,000-seater ground.

DIC have offered £4,500 a share, valuing the club at £157.5m and the 51.8 per cent stake of Moores at £79m. They also propose to write off debts of around £80m. Gillett is ready to offer £5,000 a share — valuing the club at £175m and the Moores holding at £88m.

Gillett is now likely be given the right to undertake due diligence, which DIC have been conducting since their bid was made public last month.

This is very frustrating.  I do believe that Moores has allready said that he didnt want to go down that route and his first choice was the DIC. Very annoying if this puts the whole thing back another month as it suggests.
