Saudi TV are reporting that Prince Faisal Khaled will buy a stake in the club.

The reports state that the deal will be finalised today at the Hull game. The Prince will apparently be there at the game.

The deal also includes marketing the club in the Middle East. The Prince owns the Sports Investment company FX.

This is apparently the YouTube clip where he is being interviewed via phone.

The gist of the interview:

1) They agreed on two Liverpool academies to be built in Saudi Arabia. They will be in the biggest western and eastern cities in the nation.

2) They are in FINAL stages of concluding negotiations and reaching an agreement for the prince to buy a share of Liverpool ranging between 25-50% of the club.

Interesting. We await further news later on this avvy in the greatest of anticipations then ey?

how much money does he have?

Just to help everyone out with the translation. This was Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz (son of the former King of Saudi Arabia). he said that "Tomorrow" we will sign with LFC owners, not a Memorandum of Understanding, but a Contract. he also said that the deal would result in buying 25-50% of LFC.

i have changed my view about the Saudi's. I dont like the club to be tied up wth Saudis.

But if it benifits the club, then it wold be good.

Eventually this bloke might buy the yanks out.

What a shame o be involved with the saudis

I don't care if they are three headed martians tbh Joe, as long as they turn out to be better than Laurel and Hardy for the good of LFC.
What could possibly go wromg ey?

nothing could go wrong with the saudis. But for me its a matter of principle.

You are british, you have a chance to vote for your leader, be it brown, Cameron etc.

I have a choice, the yanks have a choice. The two yank owners made their money with businesses, they didnt usurp a nations wealth

The saudi monarchy has usurped the wealth of the nation i.e. Oil, and they live lavish lifestyles to the detriment of the saudi population and other arab countries

No citizen in saudi has elected the king and his family. So that money they will be spending is not hard earned money, it is usurped money.

It is double standards to call for a democracy in one country like IRAQ and yet leave a monarchy in Saudi in place.

You got my view?

Another risk you go take into account, terrorsim, terrorist and al qaeda are fiercly oppsed to the saudi monarchy, anything saudi is a target. Bin Laden is saudi and he wanted reform in saudi, he is not happy with western influence in saudi.

Just my opinion

Do you know how wealthy this fella is? Probably no way near the City owners or DIC, or am i wrong?

Saudis are the wealthiest, more that the dubai and abu dhabi crew. For sure, largest oil reserves in the world
