      I don't know if the arabian is a right person to take over the club...
      but..surely...I totally not happy with both of liverpool current owner...
      I have a confidence about the arabian...
      for me,..
      the buyers from east,..especially the person who have a strong finance like Prince Faisal Bin Abdulaah al Saud have a strong desire to make his takeover club being a great club in the world...
      maybe,..it's not about the money for them...but,..it's more to power...I mean,..who will get a "name"..
      it's natural for them....
      just look at MC...
      they aren't waiting for the money....
      they are waiting for the new players target...


      The further east you go in business you come to understand something called "Face."

      In the old days in the US and the UK you gave your word which was your bond.
      Now it means nothing. The only power (?)  is how much you can screw another person or a company over.

      In the East if you give your word and break it, no one ever does business with you again.
      You have lost "Face".


      Thats is why we should feel more comfortable about things.
      Losing face is everything and for them.....it aint going to happen.


      Just get Hicks the f ---  out of the way.

      Sorry in advance if my post deemed offensive to some:

      I agree with one of the post above, Middle Eastern people is all about honour and national pride. I mean if you look at the history of Arabs, you can see they are always about pride and national dignity. Pagan Arabs did fight among themselves eventhough they're just the same. It's like Pakistan and India, both seems to out do each other.

      I guess it's the same even though now, Arabs are far more civilized than thousands of years ago, but the sense of pride and national honour never fades. So when the Saudis knew about Abu Dhabi involvement with Man City, they have to do something. They have to flex their muscles to be as wealthy as the Abu Dhabi's. I guess we can say that Gillett if he does sell his stake, there will be a great battle between the Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arab moguls. Power is everything to them and to outmuscle your adversary is your greatest accomplishment.

      I can see if Prince Faisal do get a grip on 50% of Gillett's shares, he will do anything in his power to wrestle another 50% from Hicks. He will never bow to Abu Dhabi and he will do anything in his power to gain control of Liverpool. Then if he does assume total ownership of Liverpool I can see there will be a great tussle between us and Man City to attract bigger names.

      No no no this is not the answer. We dont want to buy our way to the title and be another City or Chelski. Just get Hicks and Gillett out and bring back Moores ;)

      Knee-jerk? :D

      We will never be them as we have a history of success, but some extra investment on players is needed. I mean technically any team these days who wins a title in the big leagues is buying it, as they can afford to buy quality players that will win the league. It's no longer about academy's unfortunately, so we need to have the money to compete. It's just the way the world is now.

      Disturbing to read that we would buy our way to the title, Only the likes of the Chavs and Man shitty can be accused of that, Have a wee look at our trophy cabinet and maybe even a glimpse at our history and then judge  whether we are buying the title, FF'S get a grip!!

      We're buying players like any other team but we've got too many players not good enough  still in the team.
