KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Prince Faisal bin Fahd story popping up again

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Exc...icle183281.html

This story is in the Mirror & has been released by them as an exclusive. What do we think?

hope it's true but i wont believe in anything until it's official

yea lets wait and see, hope it happens. but you never know with the two clowns at each others throats

Lets hope so. It would be great to have more funds available and more importantly a new stadium to sell out and increase the clubs revenue bringing it back to be a major force in world football.

i stopped reding about these two yanks and their negotiations, i will belive it when i see it. Either way it wont impact us until the new window opens weather we have 1billion in reserves or not.

BBC today- good point who would possibly want anything to do with the Americans...

Prince Faisal could bid for a major stake in Liverpool but has concerns about the club's debt and relationship between its owners, a key aide says.
Co-owner George Gillett will travel to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to hold further talks with the Saudi Royal.
"His Highness's shareholding could go from anything from nought to 100%," Barry Didato told BBC Sport.
"But he cannot be seen as a solution to the debt or problems in the existing relationship between the owners."
The relationship between Gillett and his co-owner Tom Hicks has been strained for some time.
Each has a 50% stake in the Premier League club, yet neither can sell shares without the other's approval.

His Highness is not a marriage counsellor said Barry Didato Head of strategic investments, F6.
Prince Faisal, whose full name is Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud, has only been holding talks with Gillett so far.
And Didato - director of strategic investments for the Saudi prince's investment vehicle, F6 - said the pair had established a "chemistry and shared vision".
The fractious relationship between Liverpool's American co-owners is a concern, though.
"His Highness would not want to get involved in (the problems between the pair), he is not a marriage counsellor," Didato said.
He added that the Saudis has concerns about the high debt levels at the club.
"The debt has to be at a manageable level before Prince Faisal would invest and the current level is high," he said.
"He cannot be looked to as someone who is going to clean up the balance sheet - Gillett has to deal with this."

nothing will happen right now, but if they continue to speak, we can expect teh yaks to give up, im sure it is rather unbearable for them now.

I read another article saying gillet is on his way to saudi next week to sell his stake..

If Gillete sells, there is no way hicks will be able to throw his weight around these arabs.. they are much much wealthier than him

the only reason being these bloody c*nts want as much as they can get from the deal, the same way Moores went to Yanks instead of DIC...what a misfortune LFC has been in..goodness me...makes me cry....

I reckon the sponsorship deal too was a way just to make the club a more attractiver for investment,a feel good jesture to those interested investors and they get more monies and benefits than they F*ckin deserve,,,what a curse on our beloved club.....

In contrast, Al Medlej is fully aware of Prince Faisal, who has been involved in discussions with George Gillett, one half of the American ownership with Texan Tom Hicks, about buying at least a part-share in Liverpool.

"They will benefit from the money that he will inject to the club," he added. "It will help them bring world-class players.

"They have Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard and if they bring in two more they will be hot favourites again to win the league, or the Champions League.

"He is a guy with a sports mentality, he is passionate about football and he is successful in business. He's a great value to the club."

if al medlej's knowledge of footie is so limited that he truly believes that the scum weren't damaged by their takeover by the glazers then we can just ignore him!

if a debt of over 700mill, and climbing, is not damaging then i don't know what is!!
