Liverpool owner Tom Hicks has admitted that it could him two years to sell.
Anfield fans are desperate for Hicks and fellow American George Gillett to quit the club, but he insists that is unlikely to happen overnight, even though they are actively seeking new investment.
Speaking to an American business magazine, Hicks said: "There are plenty of those people [to invest in Liverpool] out there. We've owned it three years. We won't own it for five."
That will frighten Liverpool fans who have assumed the takeover process will be swift, and it will also alarm players like Pepe Reina, who yesterday called for a quick resolution to the financial problems at the club, to ensure a new team can be built after the disaster of this season.... and important players like Fernando Torres can be kept at the club.
"It is important that players like Fernando see the club moving forward. Let's see how it goes with the owners and the sale of the club and those kind of things that are not in our hands," Reina said.
"Once we are done with that, let's build a proper team, a proper squad, a competitive squad and one that can help us fight for bigger targets."
