Hi all
My first post here and I bring possibly some good news. The last week or so there has been a rumour going around that the Qatar Investment Authority may be buying us. As the company I work for sells lots of industrial spares to the Middle East, especially in Qatar, I thought I would get in touch with my contacts over there, thinking they will come back and say it's a load of [oops].
However one got back in touch with me today and it looks like it could be true :-). He told me that as Qatar are bidding for the 2022 World Cup they want to increase their International recognition, to achieve this they are going to invest billions of dollars on sports and games. He then went on to say that Qatar are considering in buying Liverpool Football Club and that the Qatar Investment Authority has announced that they have unlimited funds!
I know this is my first post so it probably won't be taken seriously but I believe my source over there, he has contacts with lots of workers at Qatar Petroleum, RasGas, Qatar Aluminium etc and my company has done lots of business with him in the past.
He has no reason to lie about this so it has brightened up my day knowing that there is at least one party looking at us. Whether they buy us of course is another matter, but I reckon if they don't buy us they will buy another football club.
Cheers
Jim
