from BBC sports Consortium pulls out of Reds bid Dubai International Capital has pulled out of proposed takeover of Liverpool. The announcement follows the failure of the club's board to formally accept DIC's bid in the wake of a second offer from American George Gillett. DIC claimed the offer had been accepted in principle by majority shareholder David Moores but they were unable to make a formal offer to shareholders. DIC chief executive Sameer Al Ansari said the group was disappointed but added: "We won't overpay for assets." The BBC's sports editor Mihir Bose believes Sheikh Mohammed was angry with Liverpool's courting with American tycoon George Gillett who is expected to make a revised takeover bid. Bose said: "Mohammed is a very angry man and that is why he has pulled out. He was given assurances by Liverpool that they would go with them but the talk of other offers has unsettled him and he has pulled out. "DIC saw this as business enterprise but Gillett has told Liverpool that they are a sports franchise and they know how to run sports operations. "With Gillett it won't be like an Roman Abramovich deep pockets scenario." ......Moores這下糗了吧 希望還有轉機阿> < --
