KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hicks and Gillett set to sell 25 % of Liverpool?

Liverpool's American owners are ready to put up to 25 per cent of the club up for sale to raise £100m that can be used to build a new stadium.

Investment experts Merrill Lynch have been appointed to explore ways in which the Anfield club can raise funds to help cut the debt and get the stadium project off the ground.

They have been told to go to potential investors in the Middle East to offer a quarter stake in the club, or even raise a new share issue to bring funds in Liverpool.

Owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett want to retain overall control at Anfield, but after announcing a new £80million shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered Bank, they now want to move swiftly on the stadium project which has been mothballed for the past two years.

i hope not. need to get them out. not ease their financial problems. we'll never get them out if this happens

I read on this site that a Chinese guy is looking to invest?

agree...this is certainly not the way to get them out of the club

This is the best way to raise funds. No interest on loans, no debt, just diluting profit for them when they sell up.

The only the yanks will get out is when they have had enough & i've got a feeling they have only just started. Once the new stadium starts they will never go cos the value of the club will continue to increase.

Funny you should post the news I told you about in the summer....

Yeah Steuy u said 49p, and u also said the deal fell through, so this is something new

I think it would be good commecially, but i think the fans dont like teh americans and that the bottom line.

Another friggin finance rumour. Over it!

bored of this subject now after stueys posts , but will keep my fingers crossed just in case
