KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Businessman Huang in LFC talks?

Official report from sky sports:

Sources close to the deal say the bid is less than the club's reported net debt of £350million and Huang has financed the deal with a partner who is funded by a sovereign wealth fund in the Far East.

Huang's representatives are in talks with Royal Bank of Scotland and sources close to the businessman say his offer is extremely serious and there is a huge degree of urgency to complete the deal before the transfer window closes on 31st August.

Current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett took over three years ago in a leveraged buyout and owe RBS nearly £240m.

Huang, who was first linked with a buyout at Liverpool two years ago, is head of QSL Sports Limited, a Hong Kong-based investment company.

Sources say one of the reasons he is attracted to Liverpool, who have been up for sale since April, is that he sees a commercial operation in the Far East.

Please God can this be true! Just imagine if it goes through by the end of the week, we wont be going for the likes of Luke Young.

I know, but lets not to far ahead of ourselves. Sky sports are about to do a live report from Anfield so there must be some truth to it.

The fact the bid is less then the net debt is not a good thing

was just about to post that troy.

hi guys, im very excited about this. a big reason for my happiness is who is missing from this thread. DUNK. now i would think that potentially the biggest news for the clubin a very long time, dunk would have posted something on here.

im thinking that maybe dunk has been asked not to add any speculation to the story and hold off a while until the deal is complete.

thoughts???

i think this could be the week all ours problems get sorted...

If sky sports are reporting the story there must be something going on....."Imagine first game of the season in 2 weeks and we have new owners & Torres,cole,gerrard kicking off our new campaign with a new stadium back on the radar" christ i`m getting all excited now....Please god this deals goes through

Yes these are exciting times, but don't build your hopes up, you never know with Gillet and Hicks they are both sly b*stards.

Well i really hope this is true but if he is so damn rich why does he wants to buy us who are in serious debt? Is it for financial reasons/sporting reasons? Any info?

well to be fair i don't care how he buys the club he has to be better then the two cowboys.

Plus would be good to have a single figure head rather then two that bitch about each other
