DIC Are a very serious financial organisation. Dare I say, they might be able to teach Mr Parry & Co a thing or two about moving our beloved club forward in a systematic and successful way.Look what they have done for British horseracing.
I suppose because football is our national game the people that run it have been influenced in their thinking by what has been successful in the past. Maybe it is time for an organisation like DIC to look at with fresh eyes and move it in to the 21st century.

DIC is not the plaything of an Arab sheikh with more money than sense, but a serious business that demands strong financial returns. Dubai will run out of oil in the next few years and DIC was set up to lead the diversification into other sources of income

That's what it says on their very own website,they are in it to make money but hey if you fans don't believe your new owners that's up to you.

Without wanting to sound petty Chelsea4Ever_ChelseaRocks, that is exactly what your board have been saying for years. Two things make it credible for Liverpool to make money and be sucessful, unlike Chelsea. Sheikh M has terrific business acumen, Liverpool are a global team with an enormous fan base.

With the objective of making money just like Glazier so guess whose pockets it's going to come from.

It's good that this deal has been done, as it will secure the funds for the new stadium. I don't think it's a deal that will allow large investment in players though. As has already been said, this is more of a Glazer type takeover than an Abromivich one.

But who wants to be a millionaires play thing like the chavs. All I want from this is a new stadium. I certainly don't want to be at the point where the manager is spending 30 million on a 30 year old that is two years past his peak. If that happens we'll have turned into Chelsea and I'd rather carry on the way we are than buying a league with massive wages.

If that is true why don't you have vast overseas sales and money rolling in?
I have heard LFC fans complain that it's down to marketing but the simple fact is the fans aren't there,it's a myth you've been spun.There may have been some truth in it 20 years ago but now you are nothing on the world stage.

Chelsea 4EVER:-

That's funny because I travel A LOT for my work and have have been to countries across the world and in Australia Liverpool are the most popular English team, in the Carribean it's Liverpool, Arsenal and United whilst in Africa it's Liverpool and United. The only place that Liverpool is not supported in a big way is the USA where United dominate. In Asia it is United and Chelsea. If you are to make claims like that it's best to have a little knowledge to back them up.

I love the way this Chelski fan is talking absolute nonsense. Your team isnt even a Worldwide brand yet you try to downplay a team of Liverpools stature. Please leave this area and do not return until you have something constructive/truthfull to say
