Liverpool's attempts to gain outside investment to underwrite its new stadium at Stanley Park have been a long saga, but now the FA Cup finalists have attracted promising interest from Norwegian investors. Petter Stordalen, the chief executive of Norway's largest hotel chain, and Oystein Stray Spetalen are understood to have held talks with the Liverpool board. Stordalen is the head of Choice Hotels Scandinavia and his personal wealth is estimated at £250 million. A deal is not thought to be imminent because of differences over the club's valuation, but their approach is being taken seriously by Liverpool. They are believed to have links with Steve Morgan, the founder of the Redrow property empire, whose own efforts to invest in Liverpool have met with frustration.
