If you see a sheikh in the Directors Box at the Hull game, something's about to happen

Saudi TV are reporting that Prince Faisal Khaled will buy a stake in the club.

The reports state that the deal will be finalised today at the Hull game. The Prince will apparently be there at the game.



The deal also includes marketing the club in the Middle East. The Prince owns the Sports Investment company FX.

This is apparently the YouTube clip where he is being interviewed via phone. Can't understand Arabic so for those who can, you can make up your own mind.

The gist of the interview:

1) They agreed on two Liverpool academies to be built in Saudi Arabia. They will be in the biggest western and eastern cities in the nation.

2) They are in FINAL stages of concluding negotiations and reaching an agreement for the prince to buy a share of Liverpool ranging between 25-50% of the club.



Now as this is a speculation thread, I don't konw how much is true, but if so:

1) How much is he putting in?

and

2) How much will Rafa get?

Just thought I'd raise the issue on here as I've seen it nowhere else.

In the dark here too, but all I do know that Gillett was in the Middle East earlier on this week looking for investment... I suppose we expect any news regarding Liverpool to be all over the press nowadays before it's accepted, but like the article said he's due to show at the Hull game so if he ain't there then it's just another 'story'.. we'll see
