Very unlikely DIC will throw in money to buy players the way Chelski have been doing,Rafa will only buy the players he need to fit into his team at reasonable market price.

Agreed I dont have a problem with the Dubai takeover. Realise that many of the concerns we read about are British concerns, i.e. a protectionist fear about British enterprises being taken over by foreign investors.
Its inevitable. Liverpool or anyone else can't expect to have millions of fans worldwide without the possibility that a billionaire from abroad would want to put money into the club.
It boils down to the intention and plans of the investors. Like Rafa says, it doesn't matter what the nationality is, as long as its good for Pool.
Cf. the Glazer takeover of the Scum, our case is much better. We are not going to be saddled with debts. We are going to get funding for our new stadium.
Cf. Chelsea, we are not going to be the plaything of a Russian billionaire. It is going to be a business deal (no doubt about that) and it looks like one which both sides should benefit from. On our side, we have a strong tradition and identity and it looks like DIC will respect that.
Does sound like the best offer we have so far.
