This September statement shows DIC won't be invlved in any buy out. If things happen it will be Personal Venture though Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

September 15, 2008 t Following claims that Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has tried to interest them in a bid to buy the club, the Middle East investment arm of the Dubai government, DIC, have moved to disassociate themselves from any deal and have also denied that they are still trying to buy Liverpool. However, while DIC is now no longer being used as the financial vehicle to try to buy the club, Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is now handling the situation as a personal venture. His negotiations have been carried out in the UK by a company, PCP, run by Amanda Staveley, involved in the recent and rapidly completed negotiations for the successful purchase of Manchester City by an Abu Dhabi group. Sheikh Maktoum is believed to still want to buy Liverpool, but that negotiations with American co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks have not progressed during the summer. With the current owners having failed to raise the funds to build a new stadium and the need to re-finance their current loans at Liverpool by the end of the year as Royal Bank of Scotland, with whom the bulk of their loan finance is involved, have not yet granted a six-month extension, new investment seems a necessity. Yet DIC have disassociated themselves from any deal: "Following inaccurate speculation regarding DIC and Liverpool FC, DIC can confirm that it is not involved in any negotiations to buy LFC and can confirm that it is not planning a fresh bid for LFC or any other football club. Nor is DIC or any other Dubai-based party aware of any consortium or vehicle involved in a bid. "DIC has not mandated PCP to act for DIC or to act for them in any matter whatsoever. DIC would like to wish LFC and its fans a successful future."

Where is Thomo today?

Keep that for yourself no need to try to thug the poor fella. You attitude toward the guy sucks dj mattis

You freaked the guy by all means saying something nice and truthful.... You are a disguse djmatis Talk like that makes me think it's even more bullshit, you shared your news now let's see if your correct. Don't have to ramble on about your reasons for it being right, aye?

I think Keegan as a manager and 40 mil to burn for this window already been discused somewhere else....

So far it seems a consertium including DIC and Siruos might be the figure head of the group or just a CEO of one of the group within the consortium...

So people have problems if have the same sort of owners like Man City? This is crazy.....

Monday and Tuesday is a D day for NUFC....... I hope we give something to cheer about to Sir Bob from up there.

So Thomo your contact said 100% it is DIC? or someone from Dubai? or just a takeover will be completed soon???

I am confused DIC is not the owner of Man city?

How many clubs is DIC buying??

Very sensable analogy about this guy....

RIP Sir Our own plight is directly assosite with him we never recover from his unjust sacking. I hate FFS and I will never forgive him to sack our gurdian and the best football person whom to assosiate with Newcastle.

I hate to see FFS opening up his mouth how great he was......

Shearer or Keegan nice problem to have any day of the week...

Well I don't think any of you guys understand how arbian business paper work they don't print silly stuff. Silly makem stuff won't get news there. Lets worry about how much this guy worth more than anything else.

Guys it is very unpatriotric to invest your hard earned money in the western world in Iran he has to say something for the motherland so that the clercs go aganist him...

Can Any one of you guys ask the fourm how much money he have???

Why is that Iranians don't wear a tie?

It is funny to see how excited they are while we are all anxios and try to figure out what kinda devil we are about to get. After Ashley I don't excpect angle until I see one..

Is that a real thing? It is good some us go this much to know our new owner...

We can't pick who manage us to be fair but both guys are legend after what happen last year the last thing we need is not giving Keegan or Shearer 100%. No matter whom the manager is we need to give it our best. Keegan will make us play sexy and we will produce lots of goals. It is the right place for him the championship to rebuild and create another mommentem.

True it saves some money right there...
