Tranmere have dismissed talk that they could become a feeder club to Liverpool as part of the takeover of the Reds by the Dubai International Capital group.
The consortium, led by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, is continuing talks over a £450m takeover at Anfield.
But, amid suggestions that Rovers had been earmarked as a nursery club, a statement read: "It is essential that the club has its own identity.
"Furthermore, feeder clubs are not permitted under Football League rules."
However, the club did admit it would welcome new investment, adding: "We would welcome new investment from a credible interested party and therefore would always be prepared to enter into discussions.
"The club has received inquiries from time to time and will continue to welcome talks with interested parties."
===============================
So, should feeder clubs be allowed, or should our Reserves be allowed to play as a team within their own right and earn relegation/promotion to the Football League?
