Firstly apologies Lumbar for saying naive I am sorry but it was not aimed at you it’s just my post fell directly below yours and then I had to go to work otherwise I would have corrected before now. Also I don’t have thing about Henry I think he is very shrewd (as we will find out), very competent it’s just I don’t think he has the financial resources. Yes I do want us to grow organically and I don’t want a Mansoor or Abramovich situation at Anfield. But the unpalatable fact is this club has for the last 15 / 20 years been steadlity falling behind its rivals and we don’t have the capacity to match them anymore. We therefore need a substantial injection to kick start the club and I don’t feel from the messages thus far Henry has the resources to do that. We will never catch up to our rivals from organic growth from our start position. When I saw Henry slagging Chelsea off I was dismayed firstly it’s a bit disrespectful but mainly it got me worried. A cynic would say he is ingratiating himself with the fans to build up some stock with the fans before he delivers the bad news in the summer. That’s what I meant by the general naive comment. I remember the day DIC pulled out of the deal to buy Liverpool for me we have not recovered from that event DIC would have had the resources to take the business risk with initial investments that would put us on an even footing with Utd / Arsenal who are probably our direct comparatives. That’s not a sugar daddy situation it’s a straight commercial deal based on a business big enough to make the eventual return which I think LFC is. But it needs resources and commercial risk taking commitment and I fear Henry has neither of these. I hope I am proved wrong but I have a very bad feeling about this. Did'nt notice, but apology accepted,i guess 
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Also ar,nt they the investment arm of the Dubai government ? are you sure Jammer ? But its true there was a property crash in Dubai of massive prportions so that won;t have done them much good
