"The Prince of Saudi Arabia has revealed that he will be attending Liverpool's Boxing Day clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, as he bids to acquire a 50% stake in the club.

Prince Faisal bin Fahad bin Abdullah revealed on Saudi television that he will be attending the Reds' early-evening clash at Anfield on Saturday as a guest of current owner George Gillett.

Prince Faisal attended Liverpool's win over Hull City in September with Gillett to rubber-stamp a deal to build club-accredited academies in the Middle East.

However reports in Saudi Arabia suggest that he is now planning to broker a deal with the American for the sale of his Anfield shares.

Despite pocketing $300 million (£1.87m) from his sale of Canadian ice hockey franchise, the Montreal Canadiens, Gillett has been reportedly looking for a swift exit from Liverpool with bin Abdullah's sports investment group F6 expected to offer him a lifeline out of his Anfield nightmare."

Take this any way you want.

well, nothing we can do but wait huh?

Eventually we will be sold, but for now we go along for the ride with the media and the rumours

joey the first one to reply to this post :P hhehee..cheers matey.whats up

yeah sale is imminent..when??????? sigh ...heartache :S

Well lets just hope its true. I hope it is because it will mean that its only a matter of time before the other clown will be forced to leave.

We need Tweedledum and Tweedledee to leave this club...

i never care about takeover sh*t one its boring two i love how any1 assumes that he is better than gillet the grass isnt always greener i will be excited when we get lennon and sakho for 40 mil and 25 mil but right now we dont know how much money he has got or how much he is willing to put into the club lets think about the pitch and not the f*cking boardroom for now

this situation is so frustrating but all we can do is wait and see what happens...

You couldnt have put it better, i dont care about the nationality of the owners, they could be from trinidad and tobago for all i care. I happen to know Saudi very very well. And i know the tricks of their trade. The yanks, well everyone knows what american businessman are about. Any fan who thinks a royal guy from any monarchy is going to give the coach free access to unlimited funds is foolish.

Mark Hughes is a classic example. In all fairnes Hughes was treated unfairly. yea i dont think City are in free fall at all.

City spent more money in the last transfer window that rafa spent in his past 5 years. There or thereabout

I remeber that abu dhabi self appoinetd royal say "mark hughes has our support and we have realistic targets" Yea

So to me, i dont show much emotion regarding this issue.

i would prefer a UK based billionaire to buy the club.

How about Richard Branston ?

Yea, but i doubt it. He too busy with Virgin atalantic. Here is SA he owns Virgin Mobile, and Virgin active gyms country wide
