Re: American owners to sell up next month?

This is from Mat on the UK football forum, info he supplies is 50/50, haven't got a clue who Martin Lipton is tho.


Hello,

I was speaking with journo Martin Lipton this morning & he says his sources - from the Dubai side are telling him a deal is 'nearing conclusion'.

Both Americans are said to be going to DOUBLE there investment & they walk away having saddled the club with 350 million debt - without having to repay a penny of that loan.

Martin says his sources from within the Dubai group say they are willing to undertake that debt & 'new' negotiations have been taking place with the Royal Bank of Scotland in the last 72 hours.

I have been told from someone else - when DIC take over - they will not take that £350mill loan - but pay a 'hefty penalty' for not going ahead with the loan.

DIC do not need to borrow money to build the new stadium, nor will it bother them if they lose out on the grant Liverpool FC were due to recieve.

He said to me the deal has been agreed in principle & it is expected to go through 'within a few weeks'.

Negotiations between Sameer Al Ansari & Hicks/Gillett have been taking place for the last 4 months, but things changed when Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum got 'personally invloved' with the deal in January & his people opened direct negotiations with first Hicks then Gillett.

Im told the Sheikh Mohammed has been given a 'personal promise' from Gillett he will sell his shares & will not renege on the deal this time.

Speaking with my source from Liverpool 15 minutes ago he said:

"Im aware things are moving quickly, but I have no new details to tell you - infact you guys will probably know more than us at the moment".

There is going to be much,much more on this in the next few days.

Watch this space.

Liverpool welcome back Torres, Aurelio, Hyypia and Arbeloa
Feb 14 2008 by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo


Rafa Benitez (158)

RAFA BENITEZ has been given a major boost as Liverpool head into one of the most crucial weeks of their season.

Injured quartet Fernando Torres, Fabio Aurelio, Sami Hyypia and Alvaro Arbeloa have all returned to training and are in contention for a starting place against Barnsley in the FA Cup on Saturday.

With a crunch Champions League tie with Inter Milan and a Premier League game with Middlesbrough to follow, Benitez is delighted to have four of his senior squad members back.

"I need to consider both games but I know it's important to progress in the FA Cup, so I will try to use a strong team,” said the Reds boss.

"Sami Hyypia is improving. He did the warm up and could be available, but we will have to analyse the situation. Torres also did the warm up, as well as Fabio Aurelio and Alvaro Arbeloa , and they are really close.

"Now it is about whether we will take the risk or not.

"For Inter, Torres will be okay. We will have to check before Barnsley."

Torres’ return, in particular, is a major boost as the Spanish striker has made a quicker than expected comeback from a minor hamstring injury sustained on international duty with Spain.

Aurelio, Arbeloa and Hyypia have also recovered from the minor injuries which kept them out of Liverpool’s goalless draw with Chelsea at the weekend and will come into contention for places in Benitez’s starting line-up for this Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round tie at Anfield.

And with long-term injury victim Daniel Agger now back in full training, Benitez will be delighted to see his squad strength bolstered at such an important stage of the season.

Meanwhile, young Liverpool midfielder Danny Guthrie has admitted he may not have a future at Anfield.

Guthrie is currently enjoying a season-long loan at Bolton where he has been one of Gary Megson’s star performers and the 20-year-old believes his future could well lie at the Reebok.

Liverpool will seek a fee in the region of £3m for a player who came through the ranks at Anfield and Bolton are likely to make an offer to sign Guthrie on a permanent deal once his loan has run out.

Guthrie said: “A lot can happen between now and the end of the season. But I could see myself staying here.

"However, it’s up to people above me to decide what happens.

"I'm sure Liverpool have been monitoring my progress but I haven't spoken to anyone.

"In terms of me staying, it is what the two clubs want to do and then it comes down to me.

“I’m loving it now. When I first came I wasn't getting too much of a look-in. But I’m involved on a regular basis now.”

Meanwhile, despite reports in a national newspaper that Liverpool's American owners will sell to DIC by next month, the ECHO understands that although discussions between the parties are ongoing, no deal is certain.
