if we are funded by debt I'll be seriously worried. I cant see Moores selling to someone who intended to buy Liverpool that way but you never know.

I am worried about the fact he will want to appoint his own board and might start thinking he know's something about football etc

Yup.
I like the fact he knows how to run sports clubs as has owned enough in the past, but would like to see Parry stay on with the day to day running atleast as he knows what he is doing and the values of the club.

Rick Parry....
“The overriding message is – ‘don’t worry’," he said. "Whatever decision is finally taken will be done in the best interests of Liverpool Football Club. When we have more to say, we are sure it will be good news and the right news.
“We had a duty as directors to consider a very interesting bid from George Gillett. The price is not a factor in David Moores’s mind. He is not after cash for himself, absolutely not. But he felt compelled to consider the rival bid. The DIC response to this was to give the club 12 hours to make a decision, but the chairman was not prepared to have Liverpool Football Club bullied like that.
“We would also stress this is not a question of going for the second choice. David has always given George Gillett serious consideration while at the same time we didn’t want to rush into any decision, and we were aware DIC might walk away.
“Be assured the only thing David Moores is concerned about is the club being in the right hands for the future. You can be certain he has done his homework carefully and will make a decision in the best interests of the club. The fans have trusted David to do the right thing in the past and can be sure that’s what he’s doing now. If they thought the Dubai bid was good, rest assured he is now considering a different course for the right reasons.”

Would still prefer it if they came out with a little more info on where the money is coming from, but sure that will come out in time. And if what Parry says is true Moores wont be selling if it was a similar plan to Glaziers at United.

I'm not that worried he'll do the wrong thing tbh, he didn't rush into DIC deal or allow himself to get bullied so i'll trust his judgement until I know some more facts

Agreed!
Its the Evertonians who want it because they cant afford to build their own new ground. Plus they wont fill it when they go down as they just arent a big enough club.

I don't know any everton fans who want it though
It's laughable which is the only concern I have (if gillet thinks that would work he obviously doesn't know alot about top flight football).

they were the rumours going around, that his first offer in November included this, but seems it has either changed or was never really part of it.
Tom- I dont think the Everton fans, more their board and the council members as would be better for them.
