Selling liverpool to an asian or middle east owner.
-
Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks believes there are many parties throughout the world interested in buying the football club, although he believes the eventual new owner is most likely to come from the Middle East or Asia.
Hicks, along with fellow American George Gillett, is under heavy pressure to sell the Merseyside outfit as soon as possible, after a three-year tenure that has seen the club heaped with debt, fail to start work on a new stadium and fall off the pace in the Premier League.
After addressing concerns about the club's future on Wednesday, Hicks has reiterated his belief that a buyer for the struggling club will not be hard to find.
"Liverpool has a really big universe of interested buyers," Hicks told Bloomberg.
"There are a number of wealthy people all over the world, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, who are enormous Liverpool fans."
The 64-year-old also revealed he is looking to sell off all his other sporting assets, complaining about the constant attention such high-profile organizations tend to attract.
His Texas Rangers baseball side filed for bankruptcy on Monday, while his NHL outfit the Dallas Stars are also being sold off. If all goes to plan, Liverpool will be the final one to change hands.
"Sports has never been my primary business," Hicks said.
"We are systematically selling our sports assets to focus on our core businesses like private equity and real estate.
"The lack of privacy in sports is something that my family and I aren't willing to undertake any longer.
"We'll always be big fans but we want our privacy back." -
The Anfield current owners are holding on to their valuation of BP 800 million pounds... but they didn't realised that they are not in Champions league next season...
Hopefully some rich ppl will take over from them (really a disgraced to a great club).
-
800m pound - write-off their debts + gain back their initial capital + 200m profit.
And hoping for some rich middle east or Asian to purchase the club...
Firstly, if they think that the Middle East and Asian are stupid and can be easily conned in to buying the club that they have ruin..think again.
Even if I were to have the money, I will just wait and see how far can they go. The longer they wait...they higher interest they got to pay. To the worst scenario pushing the club to administration will make them lose everything. And I would really like to see these 2 greedy a$$hole walk away empty handed.
