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. Cheers Jim sorry flames for quoting it i find the valid world cup bid valid to some extent..other than that i dont buy this insightful information with all due respect to u and ur source.if by workers u really mean the workers at those Oil & Gas establishments then so do the crazy media. lets hope the best for the club and WELCOME TO KOPTALK Steven Gerrard: Heartbeat of LFC. football is fuckingg cruel

I first heard about this on Football rumours, I have heard so much takeover [oops] over the years but this is one at least I could verify due to my contacts in Qatar. As you can imagine I was happily surprised with the response. My contact actually work for a trading house, in Qatar all the big companies have to buy from other local small business's, its to help share the wealth in the economy I believe. So my guy knows alot buyers from all the big companies mentioned in my previous post. He is not an actual Arab though I believe (they just come in sign the cheque's), I think he is from either India or Pakistan -a lot of the workforce in the Gulf states comes from Asia, so I can imagine there is alot of gossip these wrokers and word gets around fast. So whether they actually buy us or not is debatable but I am 100% certain we are being talked about over there after hearing this from him Cheers Jim

I like to think that any possible new owners worth their salt would buy before we have to sell our best players and not just wait for an admimistration price etc. I will ask my contact every 1 or 2 weeks for updates, I may also ask a couple of other contacts in Qatar to see what they have to say, I don't want to bother them alot though becuase at the end of the day they are our customers and it would be unprofessional. If I hear anything else I will post it hear. Cheers Jim

Mind you, Qatar Investment is in a greater position to show interest in Liverpool than say DIC and Dubai people becuase they have not suffered much from the economic meltdown like Dubai has. Living in the Middle East, I have not heard or read anything in newsppaers about interest from Qatar to invest into buying Liverpool.
