nothing could go wrong with the saudis. But for me its a matter of principle.
You are british, you have a chance to vote for your leader, be it brown, Cameron etc.
I have a choice, the yanks have a choice. The two yank owners made their money with businesses, they didnt usurp a nations wealth
The saudi monarchy has usurped the wealth of the nation i.e. Oil, and they live lavish lifestyles to the detriment of the saudi population and other arab countries
No citizen in saudi has elected the king and his family. So that money they will be spending is not hard earned money, it is usurped money.
It is double standards to call for a democracy in one country like IRAQ and yet leave a monarchy in Saudi in place.
You got my view?
Another risk you go take into account, terrorsim, terrorist and al qaeda are fiercly oppsed to the saudi monarchy, anything saudi is a target. Bin Laden is saudi and he wanted reform in saudi, he is not happy with western influence in saudi.
Just my opinion We're both getting very political in here today Joe.  P'raps we should start a thread in the other forum regarding the troubles of the middle east ey?. Anyway, can we expect an announcement this evening I wonder, or is this going to be another false dawn, like all the signing rumours of the summer that never materialised. Strange Dunk the Hunk hasn't mentioned owt ey?

So can we presume you're not a royalist
...or is it 'different'?
Bottom line: unless there are extreme hman rights issues to question, judge any him or any major LFC investor on his moral code and principles when dealing with Liverpool FC.
- when criticism of Hicks is (rightly) voiced, supporters do not research his relationships with George W Bush and any questionable activities external of LFC.
Apart from that, YNWA pal

YNWA buddy
But Hicks hasnt stolen wealth and deprived a nation from education, and deprived woman from driving.
Hicks might have a link with Bush, but not to the detriment of america. yea.
I am not a suporter for dictatorships, its fine to have amonarchy, but people should have the freedom to vote and choose.
Soem scandanavian countries have monarchies, japanese have a monarchy, the english have a royal family too. But those royal families are not dictatorships, they dont lock up people becasue they oppose them

there are extreme human rights at question though - in saudi woman are treated worse than black people were ever treated in south africa - seems to me that saudis are not the kind of people we should be associating with imo

No different to saddam and his family. Only thing the house of saud does not get its hands dirty. In my opinion, because liverpool are in need of cash, it doesnt mean we should sell our souls and who what we stand for, just for money. yea.

Just to help everyone out with the translation. This was Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz (son of the former King of Saudi Arabia). he said that "Tomorrow" we will sign with LFC owners, not a Memorandum of Understanding, but a Contract. he also said that the deal would result in buying 25-50% of LFC.
wrong person because Faisal bin Fahad bin Abdulaziz is dead...

The reports state that the deal will be finalised today at the Hull game. The Prince will apparently be there at the game.
Well he was there apparently, so so far so good. No news on this deal yet then, or are we being impatient? (and rightly so)
