"The Fans" were allegedly upset that D.I.C. were looking at the market value of the club after they spent whatever they planned to invest on the roster and in the infrastructure -- including the new stadium. Any business would do that, clearly Hicks and Gillett have been busy counting on their fingers since day one, and there's never a guarantee that any owner is in it for the long haul. At least Ansari was already known as a die-hard fan, AND he had a lot of cash in his pocket instead of just the ability to borrow. Those who had seen Hicks and Gillett screw up in the States were pretty surprised about the decision, but hoped we were wrong. If they're caught short, as they've been before, I hope they get out and LFC get some more stable owners in quick.
