The decision comes after Liverpool's board failed to accept the Dubai group's bid on Tuesday evening.

Owner and chairman David Moores and board members met in London to discuss DIC's bid and also an improved offer from American George Gillett.

Gillett had an initial offer rejected in December but upped his bid just as it looked as DIC were set to complete a takeover.

 

just read it on skysports news.

 

That's a shame, i so wanted then to call them a bunch of DIC's

 

i can only assume we've 'almost' agreed on a better deal....i doubt we'd be in a position to reject an offer otherwise

I'm sure all will be sorted soon

Lets hope the paperwork on the Masher gets sorted before midnight too

 

Dont think you pulled out mate, they stopped the interest and they pulled out

 

glad they pulled out for the reason AJ had given!

 

they pulled out because the LFC board did not accept they're bid

 

as said above,WE rejected there offer i beleive

 

they just didnt want to waste their money on a lost cause really

 

The initial offer was accepted by Moores, thus giving DIC the opportunity to look at the books
The rest of the board are being greedy wanting the extra Ł15m offered by Gillette.

 

LFC OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Paul Eaton 31 January 2007

Liverpool Football Club has noted today's announcement by Dubai International Capital.
The process of seeking new owners for the club is still underway and a decision on the future will be taken in the next few days.

 

isnt some american bloke/company back in the running to put a bid in?

 

Yes and a lot of fans are suspicious about this.

Since DIC pulled out, they are not allowed by law to make another offer for 6 months.

George Gillet has had the due dilligence completed in 3 days.

 

support a real team thats got no money like us, stop moaning and get on with it.

 

Apparently there is a Paddy involved now too

he's a box holder at Anfield,and obviously has a bob or two?????

 

ive heard that david moores told dic that he wanted time to have a look at gilletts offer, dic threw there rattle out the pram, and told him, we will give you 12 hours to accept our offer, david moores told them i will not be bullied into selling liverpool, they withdrew there offer. to be honest its a nightmare, firts we had taksin sinawatra a couple of years ago, then steve morgan, then sheik mo, and now gillett, liverpool is turning into a pantomime. i just wish david moores would come into some money, then we wouldnt need to sell, and it would be happy days.

 

Kin ell you dont want much do ya,
I will swap your David Moores for our John Wardle anyday.

 

From BBC SPORTS

Gillett deal going through early next week, his bid accepted by LFC.... not too sure how I feel about that.

Will see how the fans react at the derby game tomorrow.....
