Legend for Sale

After the Royal Bank of Scotland have denied they were in talks with a Chinese businessman over the sale of the club, chairman Martin Broughton declared the Premier League club could be sold by the end of this month. Businessman Kenny Huang showed these days his interest of buying Liverpool with about 300 million dollars, but the talks with RBS were under way as a first step forward in purchasing the deal. A RBS spokesman declared that although the Chinese insisted on the purchase, revealed the bank is not in talks with any bidder: “We are not in talks with any bidder about the sale of Liverpool football club.”

Broughton, who was called in order to oversee the transaction claimed: “It still remains the objective to conclude a deal before the end of the transfer window. That remains the objective but there are no deadlines, and we will continue working to complete the process,” adding in the same time the current investors, George Gillett and Tom Hicks remain on board, at least for the moment: “Both George Gillett and Tom Hicks remain on the board and they have given commitments that the board of Kop Holdings (Liverpool’s UK parent company) is the party that is responsible for the sale. Any bids that go straight to RBS – and there have been several – come to me and are directed to Barcap (Barclays Capital).”

“RBS are not involved. The control remains with the board.” Liverpool, spoiled as the Reds was found in 1892 and won throughout the time plenty of titles, trophies and cups, including 18 Premier Lieague titles, 7 FA Cups, 7 League Cup, but also international cups like Champions League Cup which the cup collected five times, UEFA Cup (3) and Europe Super Cup (three times).
