Weren't,t Standard Charter done for money laundering for terrorist organisations, they obviously have the contacts so there could be some legs in this :-)

I think they have been fined 3 times in the last 5 years for money laundering mate! And like you say, proven links to funding ISIS

 

[cheekybids]

Rumours that Dubai are sniffing. Oh yes!

The Kinahan Cartel ??

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Maybe the scum can stop their players from doing this on a continuous basis https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-63567461

We need a Pep 10 year contract extension announcement anytime now just to add to the piss boiling from scousers and the rags and really tip them over the edge.

Perfect :-) fit and proper, piece of piss.

I wonder if Kwasi Kwarteng fancies buying a football club…. He’s a financial genius who should sink the Dippers inside 12 months.

Just needs the able, proven and reliable quant, Dianne Abbot to fact check his calcs.

Why don’t the scousers scream about Leicester’s owners?

They literally sponsor themselves and Thai human rights are worse than in UAE.

This is a very binary post.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This is a very binary post.

It is, but it doesn’t make it untrue. King Power aren’t run by the Thai state, but then neither are we in the UAE.

Deluded media reporting.

Let me think. $4bn for Liverpool and their history, outdated ground and old trophies with the need to invest $1bn to make their ageing squad competitive again or say buy Leeds, build a new state of the art stadium with top facilities and players to compete at the top level for a higher potential for ROI for less money.

Mike Ashley held out for £300mn when he sold Newcastle.

 

[Stoned Rose]

I can’t imagine Sheikh Mansour would be too pleased if anyone from Dubai would go for the dippers to be honest. Didn’t Abu Dhabi bail Dubai out not too long ago so I can’t see him being happy if someone came in to challenge us from that area of the region?

There won’t be anyone from round there cheeky enough to step to Mansour.

thats my thinking mate, can only see another yank trying their arm.

Whilst I have no time for Leeds United and their supporters, having lived there during their peak Revie years, they are preferable to Liverpool FC and their supporters.

Some of us remember when Liverpool was a second Division Club and Everton was the top club in the city. Everton supporters, like Leeds ones, were never the best but infinitely preferable to the red scouser cult that has evolved. rarely a mention of how Liverpool success was bought by Moores family gambling proceeds investment.

No doubt Liverpool will be facing competition from Everton again once the new stadium move happens. Leeds do not have this competition. The FSG gamble failed but they can still expect a good return on their investment 'tho not as much as they wish.

Just heard it’s not Dubai interested in the Dippers. There has been an issue with phonetics at Dipper HQ.
The real interested party is

George “Dubya”Bush - an American

 

[waspish]

Good ploy by FSG excuse not to invest till sold or more investment comes in Klopp loves the underdog tag and a moan now he has both plus an excuse when not performing! Carragher was saying they’ll have to buy 2/3 players and spend 150m yeah right as if that will happen!

 

[halfcenturyup]

I get that !! Its the value on LFC I dont get.

The new owners spend 3 billion to buy them and than still have money to invest. I just dont see it.

To invest 3 billion you are going to want to see a return I would have thought

Whatever happens, I want to see the losing bid.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

No takers so far. Aldridge is selling his mock Tudor in Southport to raise funds as we speak.

Thought he'd be taking his bottles back.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Or Wednesday, but then Wednesday are 2 leagues down and no1curr about non-PL teams.

This is one of the many reasons why I hate the plastic telly clapper fans from Nigeria or India or the USA or wherever: they literally cannot conceive of supporting a team who doesn't win things. Like, they can't understand why Everton fans still go to Goodison despite us being crap and battling relegation AGAIN. Or why people would choose someone like Huddersfield/Rotherham/Plymouth Argyle/Oldham over a Big 6 team. The minute Liverpool go down the toilet, they'll fuck off to Real Madrid or whatever.

I still think Dubai should buy you lot. Not expensive, good pedigree, potential, new stadium. Oh, and would wipe half the value off Liverpool in one fell swoop :)

 

[halfcenturyup]

It is, but it doesn’t make it untrue. King Power aren’t run by the Thai state, but then neither are we in the UAE.

On the other hand, no-one becomes a billionaire in Thailand unless they are "sponsored" by the royal family or the army.

They (fsg) would very poverty and not able to keep up with "state run clubs".

And no one will pick up on the fact that fsg have earnt £2.7b from purchase to sale.

No money my arse. And the lfc fans swallow it!

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Apparently he put a choir in front of an anti aircraft gun and blasted them into eternity after they upset him. Just imagine one on the halfway line as they are singing their pre match dirge.

Not everyone's cup of tea hark the herald angels sing.
