Damn you - Indians !

First Tetley, then Jaguar, then Liz Hurley and maybe now the hallowed Kop.. Is nothing sacred anymore ???

Whatever happens, YOU'LL NEVER HAVE THE DIAMOND BACK !

LIVERPOOL have held talks with the billionaire owners of an Indian Premier League cricket team.

And that could lead to a massive investment and an eventual buy-out.

Representatives of the GMR group, who run the Delhi Daredevils IPL side, were guests at last week's clash with Arsenal.

GMR chairman Grandhi Mallikarjun Rao is worth an estimated £4.2billion and the senior official he sent to Liverpool in midweek is known to be a supporter of the club.

Talks were started by Hicks, initially with a view to securing a sponsorship deal, but Bangalore-based GMR have made no secret of their desire to branch out into other sports.

Rao, 58, made his millions in the airport and construction industry and recently formed a subsidiary company to invest in sport, with English football considered the most attractive.

A Kop source said: "The GMR group were invited by Hicks and their representative watched the Arsenal match in the directors' box with Hicks' son Tommy. It was quite clear the representative was a fan.

"When you look at the company's commitment to sport they're exactly the type of partner Tom would be looking for."

Liverpool's American owners have been scouring the globe for finance to stave off the threat of having to sell the club on the cheap in July.

Club officials have also discussed an agreement with shirt sponsors Carlsberg for £60-£80m. But the Danish brewers have baulked at the price.

Former Darlington vice-chairman Raj Singh has withdrawn his offer to buy the club ahead of the 5 May deadline.

Singh made an offer for the club, the Arena stadium and the surrounding land last week, with a decision to made by Monday this week.

Administrators Brackenbury Clark did respond but Singh described their terms as "unrealistic" and "unworkable".

Singh told BBC Tees he would like to work out a deal, if it does not involve former chairman George Houghton.

lets not turn the thread racist....lets make it lighter...its an old one but good

At Heathrow, a 300-foot long red carpet is stretched out to Air Force One and President Bush strides to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II.

They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of central London where they board an open 17th century coach hitched to six magnificent white matching horses. They ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all is going well. Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of gastronomic flatulence ever heard in the British Empire, including Bermuda, Tortola and the Falkland Islands. It shakes the coach. Uncomfortable, but under control, the two dignitaries of state do their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decides that's ridiculous.

She turns to Mr. Bush and explains, "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things that even a Queen cannot control."

George W. Bush, ever the gentleman, replies, "Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something, I would have thought it was one of the horses...."

Everywhere you go there are Indians! They're all over the damn planet making money. They're the most materialistic, capitalist people about. They live for money. The Hindus even have a god of money called Laksmi. They offer it food and they hope it will help them make money.

what goes around comes around mate..."the sun will never set on the british empire"...they said & i quote...today,as things stand,the national dish is chicken tikka masala,no prizes for guessing where that came from. Until a little while back,the captain of the cricket team was Chennai-born Nasser Hussain. The richest person in the country is L.N.Mittal,again no guesses where he's from & he has consistently refused to give up his Indian passport for a Brit one despite it being offered to him & plus as britexpat mentioned,We own Tetley & Jag...so really it should come as no surprise,we have the means & the bread to buy what we want & if the Brits had similar resources,they wouldn't have to sell...now would they?...as for being sacred,NOTHING can be worse than a bunch of yanks,american football team owning ones @ that,owning a Premier League club...they call it soccer for Chrissakes...can it get any worse?...so Britexpat,you should actually be happy if the Indians buy it,at least we know what the game's about & call it football...as for the diamond...not to worry,as Victor Bhatt rightly put it,today it's Tetley,Jag & maybe LFC,sooner or later,The Diamond will come up for sale & when it does,you can be sure we'll buy it back...It's our turn!!...:)
