Dubai Wants Liverpool Football Club - Again

Dubai International Capital (DIC)has made an offer, said to be £400 million, to buy the Premier League Liverpool Football Club. DIC wants an answer within 24 hours.

The American owners George Gillet and Tom Hicks took over the club a year ago. Dubai was passed over by the then owner David Moores unexpectedly.

The Club's fans have not really warmed to Gillet and Hicks. That may factor in their decision whether to give up the club. But the time limit for the offer is somewhat stark. We will know soon.

Update:
The Americans rejected the offer. During the stalled talks, fans were chanting "Dubai S.O.S., Yanks Out".
