LIVERPOOL fans last night expressed their concern about the club and its stadium plans with many message boards full of attacks on David Moores for the way the Dubai deal broke down.
On the club’s official site, many supporters were angry with the way the board had dealt with negotiations, accusing them of putting their own finances before the good of the club.
They were also worried the club would now accept a deal with Gillett because it had no other options.
Les Lawson, spokesman for the Liverpool Supporters’ Club, said: “I must admit to being surprised. We had come to terms with the Dubai bid and what it entailed and the fans accepted that they were fans of the club of long standing and understood the history and heritage of Liverpool.
“Then Gillett comes along and muddies the water. We are worried now about the future and the fact that the Dubai bid had gone on so long and now we are in another period of uncertainty.
“This has been going on for years. Surely it should have been clear by now what the Dubai people wanted?
“The Dubai group were big fans, but we do not know too much about this guy, who it seems has tried to buy other clubs.
“The Dubai deal had been sold to us as being one from people who understood the traditions and heritage of the club. Rick Parry (chief executive) said that was one of the key issues, that the Dubai people did appreciate our history.
“Now we are going to have to wait and see what Gillett wants and does in the future.”
Fan Nick Harman said: “We all thought everything was going to plan, so this has come as a big shock.
“Gillett is an unknown quantity and we don’t know if he is just in this for profit.”
