AP NewsBreak: Hicks, Gillett reject DIC bid to buyLiverpool
Eds: APNewsNow; RECASTS with bid rejected

Associated Press Writer
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr. have rejected Dubai International Capital’s bid for the Premier League club, The Associated Press has learned.
The 400 million pound (US$800 million) offer was immediately turned down, a person involved with the negotiations told the AP. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
DIC on Tuesday gave the Americans 24 hours to accept its offer.
Hicks is committed to retaining his 50 percent share in Liverpool while Gillett is reportedly willing to sell. Hicks has said he can block Gillett from selling his stake.
The duo bought the club last year for 218.9 million pounds (then US$431 million) — beating a rival bid from the Dubai consortium.

Hicks "turned down their offer immediately upon receipt," the person said.

Gillett, whose relationship with Hicks has reportedly broken down, rejected DIC's bid because he believes the private-equity investment arm of the Dubai government underestimated the value of his 50 percent stake. He was "low balled," the person said.

looks like both of them to me...
