This sounds pretty plausable however, I do hear these type of things far to often on the football-rumours website. The 15th of July keeps getting thrown around a lot on the internet. It could have some degree of truth or, it could be a rumour that has just escerlated over a few weeks. I think it is probably the latter of the two. I hope it is true though!
EDIT- I'm talking about Liverpool selling the club, not the thing about Paul Scharner
