Poll : would you like to see DIC replace G & H as soon as possible ?

[David Hodgson]

Not rocket science this , but I, for one, would like to see if sanity is now near universal on this one. Deliberately left out an option on other potential buyers, because I don't believe we've yet heard about a credible alternative, other than DIC.

Ah, nuts ....mods, help !

 

I've never done a poll before, and I've messed this one up haven't I? Can you fix it for me ? Cheers.

[MFletcher]

When the poll goes up, I'll vote yes.

 

I have reservations about DIC, but my confidence in these two clowns has hit rock bottom. I consider them parasites, who would force us to sell players to pay their loans. All style, no substance and the sooner they f*** off the better.

 

Thing is, DIC are going to want profits from us as well. We'll have to accept that, in the absence of a rich superfan, that's the sort of owners we'll have. The problem after that is ensuring that the new owners leave the footballing men to get on with their job, and ensure that those already in jobs are fit for purpose.

[Guest JV]

Yes

[Guest Si]

Whats the point in this exactly?

 

What the hell do you know about DIC really?

It is right, whomever, comes in (if they do at all) that we remain cynical about them, until they prove themselves. Anyone coming in is going to want to make money, and have an exit strategy, but the first pre-requisites, from our point of view, is that they have deep enough pockets to be able to fund the stadium, and support the manager, without saddling the club with unreasonable levels of debt.

You're missing the point. We now know that the G & H are a disaster for our club. Almost any alternative would be be better. There is enough public information, out there, about DIC, to make it a reasonable punt to assume that they would represent an improvement on the Americans.

[RedHarvest]

In reality we dont know anything about the DICs intentions. The most compelling advantage of thier intrest is that they can deliver us from the clutches of G and H.

 

I'll still vote yes.

[RafaShanks]

Has Parry taken the poll off?

The mere fact you state "almost any alternative" would be better shows this is about as well thought through as signing Salif Diao.

 

Im glad you arnt the guy making the decisions if you are willing just to "make a punt" on the clubs future.

[Dave_the_Red]

D.I.C for me. H & G, have been a bitter disappontment, think they are just building a sporting empire.

[magneto]

There is enough public information, out there, about DIC, to make it a reasonable punt to assume that they would represent an improvement on the Americans.

 

What public info? There have been about 2 articles written about a possible DIC move but all have been publicly denied by LFC.

 

The other info you are referring to is the stuff you've heard from your "sauce", which is far less than the articles written about it suggest.

 

To answer your question, DIC only would be better than the current regime.

 

Agree to an extent with Si...you can't say all the other alternatives will be better than the current owners because that's not entirely true. They've done no worse than Moores.

[AE]

Yes

[McBain]

I'd love some DIC right about now

[MFletcher]

Rafa Benitez would beg to differ.

[Guest RedIsMyColour]

I am not usually a fan of DIC but I'd make an exception on this one.

[Gunga Din]

Rafa Benitez would beg to differ.

 

 

how do you know?

 

no one knows anything about DIC really. no one knows their plans for the club, or even if they are interested. they may very well be a better option than the Yanks, in reality its hard to imagine they would be any worse, but then again, its based for the most part on speculation, because they may even be worse. how can anyone vote in a poll were they know nothing of the alternative that they are voting for

Really no point in having a poll if we know that much, is there?

 

For my money, I don't know that they are a disaster for the club just yet. I think I'll be more qualified to answer that in the summer. So I think I'd prefer G&H until then.

Did you see Rafa come out with a public outburst against Moores? Of course not. We had limited funds, but Rafa was well aware that Moores was doing the best he could to fund us - even loaning out of his own personal wealth. Zippy and Bungle have already destabilised him enough within a year to have marches and protests organised to support him.

If I recall, a year ago Moores was a disater for this club and almost any alternative was better. And am I to believe that the same organisation that was going to asset-strip us and flog us after a couple of years is now our saviour?

 

Ultimately, what difference does the club owner make? If the Americans stay, are you going to walk off never to return? Or is it actually the case that a consortium of Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Peter Sutcliffe and Ian Brady could buy the place without you severing your long association with L4?

[RafaShanks]

As long as the owners provide Rafa with the cash he needs and we get a blinding new stadium built asap, I don't really give a feck who the owners are.

 

From the look of things thus far, this isn't gonna happen with Gillette and Hicks around.

[Kahnee]

Zippy and Bungle have already destabilised him enough within a year to have marches and protests organised to support him.

That was nothing to do with Rafa personally, and everything to do with web-based hysteria. Would be interested to know how many who 'marched' (a joke of a term when it was nothing more than an organised walk to the game from the pub, something that happens every match day only with less flags) are now clamouring for Rafa's head.

Rafa has vented his frustration before about what he believes was poor work in the transfer market and not enough money. that was before G&H came on board. he moaned at Valencia too. the diffrence being that Moores didnt react like Tom Hicks.
