Screw him. We are used to the bitter rants by now aren't we? There were quite a few 'murmers of disapproval' from City fans as well from what I remember.

True, I recall some didn't like it but I think they aren't complaining now. Thaksin, in essence was the catalyst in our acquisition by our current owners.

He frequents the Swan in Newby Bridge, next time I see him in there I'll give him some shit, the prick.

So it was ironic that Manchester City was subsequently sold to the same entity, without so much as a murmur of disapproval from their fan base.

But City weren't sold to the Kingdom of Thailand as was the plan for the Dippers, we were sold to an individual. The plan for the Liverpool purchase was for the people of Thailand to fund it through the State Lottery.

But why let facts get in the way, eh?

I read in a business magazine once that a top club, ANY top club, was just two bad seasons away from meltdown.

Well, the scousers have got the first season out of the way, and they need only repeat it next season and we may well be seeing the next Leeds United or Nottingham Forest or Sheffield Wednesday or Newcastle United or Portsmouth...

Ooh, I got a tingly feeling all over just writing that!

He also says this.....

I was conscious of the fact I’d agreed a deal with DIC, and telephoned Sameer Al Ansari to tell him that the board preferred Gillett and Hicks’s offer, and I wanted 48 hours to think things through. DIC representatives confronted me prior to the game and put it to me that I had to sign off on their offer immediately or the deal would be withdrawn. I told them I wouldn’t be held to ransom - and they withdrew the offer. With hindsight, we may have had a lucky escape there as Dubai is not the buoyant market it was in 2007.

So they dodged a bullet with DIC did they? Dodged a bullet with Frank? And ended with the best owners.

Let's pick one quote from this garbage, "we would never simply rush into a relationship with an unsuitable partner"

True, you would take your time before selling to an unsuitable partner...... and look where it got you ........very wealthy.

This is just a moan from the ex Chairman to stop more moaning whingers having a go at him because he took the money and ran. Don't get on your moral soap box you tosser, you made a pretty penny out of the deal, you were never interested whether the deal was good for Liverpool just wherther it was good for you.

I've just read this and the Sky story has no reference to City at all with Moores admitting he regrets the sale of Liverpool

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_6172699,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 99,00.html</a>

Former Liverpool owner David Moores admits he "hugely regrets selling the club" to George Gillett and Tom Hicks, calling on the American pair to "accept their role in the club's current demise" and sell up.

Moores was bought out by the duo three years ago after several failed attempts to sell the club to more financially powerful owners.

However, in that time the current co-owners have fallen out with both the fans and each other, while prompting serious concerns over the club's debt and overseeing a woeful seventh-placed finish in last season's Premier League.

In a letter to The Times, Moores insists he sold to Gillett and Hicks in good faith - following assurances about their financial status - but accepts "honest mistakes" were made despite him acting "in the best interests of the club".

The lifelong Reds fan admits, however, he "hugely regrets selling the club" to the pair.

In his letter, Moores said their offer "was laid out in unambiguous terms ... the document pledged there would be no debt placed upon the club, and significant funds would be made available for investment in the squad and the new stadium".

He added: "I call upon them to stand back, accept their role in the club's current demise, and stand aside with dignity."
