Talks in “Advanced Stage” of UAE takeover of Liverpool

|

Lynch and Kirdi

Former Celtic player Andy Lynch is heading up a consortium of wealthy Gulf-based businessmen to take over Liverpool. Former Syrian international Yahya Kirdi, now a millionaire is said to be behind  the bid and has backers from one of the United Arab Emirates ruling families. Lynch, who has acting as a middle man in the deal, told the Daily Record:

“It’s a very exciting time. Talks are ongoing with Tom Hicks and George Gillett and are at an advanced stage. We’re working round the clock to try to pull it off. Everyone knows Liverpool aren’t the force they once were so this is just what they need at this time. I’ve been to Anfield on business recently and I’m acting as the go-between in the whole deal. Hopefully it’s not too much longer before it’s all done and dusted.”

Kirdi does know both George Gillett and his son Foster and he attended a Liverpool match back in January against Stoke City. The American owners have however denied that there are any takeover talks with any group.

    i want the chinese investor, she seems more business like

  • Marty says:

    i agree with philip to be honest…. the investment from china sounds a whole lot better.. the chinese invester has a fortune of an estimated £14billion…. and in this article it states ”Former Syrian international Yahya Kirdi, now a millionaire is said to be behind the bid”…. this man is only a millionaire, where as the chinese invester is a multi billionaire….

    if im honest, the syrian investment doesnt sound too promising judging by this article and a few other articles ive read..

    hope we get the chinese investment….

    Have we not had enough of ” consortium” ownership? Was not G&H in fact such . It would be better to have the single Chinese lady owner methinks. Anyway think of the absolutely immense fan base and possible income from such a vast and football knowledgeable country? Pity it will not come to be though….you watch!
