Is there hope for Liverpool fans?

Share/Save

A Liverpool fan came to see me the other day and reasonably asked why Hicks and Gillett had sold their stakes in North American sports businesses ahead of selling Liverpool.  It seems that the American duo are determined to get the best possible price for Liverpool, although they are under some pressure from the Royal Bank of Scotland to sell up.   There are a number of potenial buyers in the offing, but one could person who could certainly afford to conclude a deal is the richest man in India and the seventh richest person in the world: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/liverpool...

Other reports, however, cast doubt on how interested he is but this may be just part of the mind games that precede the conclusion of any deal.   For a report which says that interest has been denied go to: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1249551/Indias-richest...
